Test Drive Caldina : Family Sports Wagon

On my trip back to Kuching, it was irresistable for another walk-in and out phenomena again. This time is no jokes. Guess what, this time is my favourite road machine. The usual badge I am familiar with Toyota but this time is none other than Caldina GT4. Yeah!

As up today, it's the my favourite of all. It has everything needed. Space & Power. Sporty Stationwagon which I don't mind putting my baby trolley & rocker dad going for speed on the weekend.

Somehow this machine just have minor draw back after my test drive.

One, the turbo lag is unbelievable. When I was doing the flooring, the power only comes in when the rpm reaches 4000. So for normally driving in Kuching, it isn't going to optimise the engine at all.

Two, I have the bad feeling with the brakes. For 240 bhp machine, all wheel drive system, it's got to be a strong braking power. Caldina is not showing anything convincing.

Anyway, the Re Cond price still attractive. For the price of Honda Civic 2.0 Vtec ~ 135K. You can get a car that is totally from another category. At least, it is rated in PS2 GT4.
