    Friend of mine has one. Had a fair few issues with it on 120,000 miles. Head gasket being one of them.

    Being a toyota you would not expect this, but I don't think it's one of their best engines or cars from what I've heard.

    Get the 190bhp version and you'll be happy out if you like the looks.

    VVTL for sure - (No oil burning issues with these either that I'm aware of)

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Take it for a drive and when the engine has reached normal operating temperature drive it in 3rd or 4th at 6000rpm and the car should jump forward and accelerate loudly when it hits it, if this doesn't happen avoid the car. This only works when the car has reached operating temperature, if you try before it won't work as there's a safety feature to prevent the engine revving this high from cold.

    How much would a 2nd hand wing on its own be?

    Not too sure, best contact a breakers to see, just a word of warning though the UK/Irish and Japanese are different wings, the Japanese one has the indicator within the front bumper, the UK/Irish has it within the wing itself so there's bound to be wiring and filler/cutting issues if you get the wrong one, here's an example of each, make sure you get the right one for the car...

    What's a fair price for one of these if it needs that much spraying
