Engine gel mount on my 2007 Yaris has gone bad, when I was looking for a replacement I found this brand tenacity.
Just wanted to know if anyone has used Tenacity engine mounts and whether they are any good?
How is the vibration compared to genuine engine mounts ?
Is it a better option to go for a recondition gel engine mount instead of using a brand new after market one?
Would like to get your views and recommendations on this and also if there are other good brands that I can look for.

The original part is the entire hub. However, there are people who dismantle the old hub and refurb it by pressing in new razors. Have to warn you though...the refurb part does not last as long as replacing the entire hub.
Thanks @iRage for the quick response 👍
Last long in the sense, will it at least last for 20000km?
Do you know any reputed make for the entire hub or razors if I opt to refurb the hub?
-
Can you replace only the rear hub razors in a 2006 Yaris or do you need to replace the whole Hub unit?
Thank you for your time.

I would like to know more details about the toyota corolla 141 2012 model. Its fuel economy(is it more economical than the older 141), current market price and any known issues and are they made in japan or some other asian country like thailand or pakistan.

I have been hunting for a well used axio for under 4 mil but after going through about 15 cars i couldn't find even one well looked after decent car. Some owners didn't even know about the cvt oil change. Some had mileages that looked ridiculous when compared to the state of the car. SO now i have given up the search for an axio and started look for a corolla 141 or a FD4.
I know the 2008-2009 141s are having a bad market value due to their bad full economy but i found the 2012 141 models are going for higher prices. Is this higher price because they perform better and have better fuel economy. Are their any issues with the 2012 model that i should know of. And is the price tag of 4 - 4.2 mil reasonable for the 2012 model.
And for a FD4 im looking for a model above 2010. How is the fuel consumption for FD4 and are there any known issues that i should know of, FD4 too have a price rage of 3.8 - 4.2 mil and is this price tag reasonable for them.
Comparing these two which is better.
Hope the well experienced AL people fill me with everything i need to know.
Thanks

I heard from few guys that some axio non hybrid cars has less market value because of their color.
Is this true and if so what are the colors that i need to look out for.

I service my car at Toyota lanka and yes, they should have all the records. I guess this is a non hybrid car. You can get them to do an inspection of the car before purchasing it. For me it cost nearly 6k in 2015.

Thank you all for providing me the information.
I have one more question, does the value of these non hybrid axios differ based on their colour. Like there are some colours that go for a higher market value. I heard the gold ones have a less market value. Is it true.

I have found toyota axio 2007 which has all its services done at Toyota Lanka. Im planing to buy it since the car look in good shape. Before buying it i thought of taking it to Toyota Lanka to get a inspection report.
So when i take the car to them would the verify the records with their history and also confirm the ODO reading is genuine by cross checking with their records?

Did any of the 141 axio G grade models come without push start feature. Is there a way to find whether the car is actually a G grade or or X Limited re-badged as a G grade.
-
The car in question is a toyota axio x grade and it comes with normal side mirrors but is it possible to replace them with winker side mirrors.
-
Guys have any one come across any toyota axio x grade cars that have a rpm meter but no climate control ac?
Can it be that these cars had their dashboards replaced?
-
Guys need a information does some of the axio x grades come with the rpm meter but no climate control?

Not always the case and not true...Luxel's wood trimmings were manufacture options (well by default it got it). The same paneling could have been ordered at the dealer as a dealer option...granted the type that would have had come with the Luxel would have been expensive as they are actual panels and not the stick on kind. So..there would be some Gs and Xs and what not that would have the Luxel trim.
Next...the grades...the actual grades are X and G and Luxel. X-Limited and G-Limited were packages that were introduced periodically for ..well..marketing. Typically for Toyota, the X Limited is kind of like a stripped down G and the G has a few bits and trinkets as standard that otherwise would have been optional features/accessories.
Identifying grades by trim is not the ONLY way to figure out the grade nor is it the most accurate. Toyota makes it easier than other Japanese manufacturers. The actual grade can be figured out by the Model/Frame type/code. For actual manufacturer limited grades/packages the model/frame type/code would have a -<some letter> to denote that it was limited package or something.
Thank a lot for the valuable information. Do you have any idea what the Model/Frame type/Code would be for a G grade.

Forget the Allion 240, as most of them have been abused to death. Axio is the best bet when it comes to fuel economy, resale and well suited for SL driving conditions. Just like the Allions most of the Axios have been abused but still there are few good examples left. My advice is also not to go for a X grade like hrm mentioned. If you can find a good example X limited, G or G limited is fine. Just be in alert that sometime Luxels might come up for sale and they are the best of both worlds with 1.8L engine plus good fuel economy and loads of options. It’s the highest grade of the Axio. Beware that most X limiteds have been rebadged as G with installing teak panels, multifunction and everything. Note that from 2006-2009 only Luxel grade was equipped with teak panels. And those teak panels are not reddish brown, but yellowish. These are the only ways that you can get to know that the car is an. original G or G limited.Note that these are applicable to 2006-2009 manufactured Axios.
-Push start and the smart entry system(some buggers install a button, those systems don’t have the smart key)
-rear seat center armrest
-chrome beading on the windows and a little chrome strip on the edge of the rear number plate plastic inserting(where the number plate lights are located).
-also the dark grey door interior upper panels are finished in soft touch materials in the g and above grades while in the X and X limited are finished in hard plastic. You can’t tell the difference without testing it by your finger nail
Make sure that previous owner has taken care of the car, unless you’ll end up spending closer to 200,000. Cvt gearbox(if not taken proper care of), Ac compressor, shock absorbers and steering rack are the main repairs to arrive.
When you consider a Civic better to go for a FD4 with 1.6 engine as it will be easier to sell in SL market. Civic is definietly a better drive with more power and sharper handling but might be a bit less on the comfort side. If you go for a Civic, make sure to opt for a 2009 afterwards model as the power steering is electronic. Economy wise it’ll be giving figures like 7-8kmpl in traffic and 13-14kmpl on highways/long trips.
Thanks a lot for sharing your expertise. I think i would go for an axio g grade. But as your are saying will it be difficult on finding a real g grade since most x limited ones can be re badged. Any idea of a difference i can find in the chassis number.

Im in search of a good reliable and economical sedan in the price range of 3.5 to 3.8 mil.
I have a few models under my consideration but is having a hard time selecting one since this going to be my first.
My considerations are
- Toyota axio non hybrid (Does the x grade differ a lot from the x limited and g grade ?)
- Toyota Allion 240
- Nissan Bluebird G11
- Honda Fd1
- Mazda 3/ Axela 2008-2009
I know there are posts for each of these cars but they are old. So if the experts in this forums could give me some advice on these models i have mentioned it would be of great help me.
