Got avensis ex UK 1.8l TR 2008. 4 years down the line, very nice ride,consumption okay too. I source service items from Toyota KE, optionally import suspension parts i.e bushes,links,ball joints from UK.
In the second year, the cat went kaput(was told ni mafuta yetu chafu sana made the cat choke). The car had very poor performance. So got the cat out, replaced with straight through from the manifold plus a silencer. Ni hayo tu kwa sasa, no regrets.
