Earlier this month, I have finally purchased my first car. The name of the car is Toyota Isis, manufactured/assembled in year 2005. Here's a picture of my car.
Picture: Toyota Isis model 2005
The car is black in colour. This is the only unit available from the car dealer that comes with body kit. There's another unit in blue colour but doesn't come with body kit. Since both units are at the same price, the sales person recommended me this unit.
It comes with a 1.8L engine with 130 HP, 1 passenger side power sliding door, central locking system, auto power window for all windows, and body kit. It is a very basic unit. It doesn't even comes with any audio player, but the car dealer will install 1 unit when the car is confirmed sold.
I didn't buy this car from local Toyota because this model is not carried by them. The local Toyota only offers Innova and Avanza in the MPV category. Still, I don't like both the model in terms of design and petrol consumption; both Innova and Avanza don't come with sliding door, thus it's inconvenient to load and unload, and both are not petrol efficient due to the reason that the body size & weight cannot be handled well by the engines. The only advantage of both the model to Isis is the price tag.
Isis is not a model carried under Toyota. It has to be imported from Japan. Companies other than local Toyota are allowed to import vehicles, either new or re-condition, that are not carried by them.
The specification of the car is as follow:
Body Type: 7 seater MPV
Engine Type: in-line 4 cylinders 16 valves VVT-i (1ZZ-FE)
Engine Capacity: 1.8L (DOHC)
Transmission: 4 speeds automatic with Super ECT
Fuel Consumption: 12.6 ~ 14.4 Km/L
Fuel Tank: 60L
BHP/RPM: 132/6000
Torque/RPM: 170/4200
Suspension (Front/Rear): MacPherson Struts/Double Wishbone
Brake (Front/Rear): Disc Brake/Leading Trailing Drum
Min Turning Radius: 5.4 m
Length (Interior/Exterior): 2705/4610 mm
Width (Interior/Exterior) : 1470/1695 mm
Height (Interior/Exterior): 1315/1640 mm
Total Weight: 1400 kg
I will explain more in detail about the driving experience that I have with this car in my next post.
