Wondering any Caldina owners here....I just got my GT4 Caldina about 2
weeks ago....wish to get in touch with other owners to share info...and
TT....

Hello...i'm not 1 of the owner of Caldina, but i like dat car so much,
mind 2 share ur experience wiv me bout dat car? It cover wiv 260HP, rite?
How's da power? Da comfort? Can fit how many ppl in? Wat color is ur babe
GT4?

[mackie]

Mind letting us know the indicative cost of that Caldina?

Like >rm200k? or around rm150k?

[shuq]

price range from 180-190k

[mackie]

Would that be a Naza stock i.e. recond or a brand new unused from UMW (if
any)?

If recond, how many years old and typical mileage? I know most if not all
Naza cars are recond and have a few tens of thousand km mileage already.

coolznick bro....the power is 260bhp at the engine...probably about 230-
240bhp on wheel...normally...20 horses gone due to weight and
such....comfort wise...not too bad for the front...a bit stiff and
thin...due to Recaro seats...but love this particular model of
Recaro....coz multi point adjustable...not those after market type...the
body hugging is cool...good for cornering...tried it once...a near 100
degree turning...at 85 km/hour...sharp handling and good body hugging
from the Recaro seats... ....the back seats are of Recaro make
too...with bucket type....and can easily fit 3 adults thou....and good
back seat leg space...that's what my friends said when they were sitting
at the back for a short sprint to Genting highland last week end...

Handling were good... guess the full time 4 wheel did the job
thou....straight, cornering, uphill, down hill...perfect ride...found
that it is quite nimble as per my previous 350Z...just slightly longer
with a slight back swing when sharp cornering...but as mentioned...the
full time 4 wheel really helped to straightened that back... ...

0-100 only takes 5.68 seconds...and can drag the car to 150kmh on 3rd.
gear...by the time it reached 4th gear...180 liao...speed cut
liao.....and this is running on auto...also did gragging with the
Steptronic function....3rd gear 180 liao...but then...speed cut on...no
chance to change to 4th gear....but normally....I don't drive that
fast...only for testing purpose nia...

Overall...it's a fun car to drive...mine is black (all my cars are
black...)...always have been....it's GT4 NE version...it's a
recond...2002...mileage about 11500 when I bought the car (since the
mileage calculator is of digital type...there's no way they can
cheat....unless they send the car to Toyota to reset the meter, but do
you think Toyota will entertain that...)...price around RM180K...but you
can get lower from other smaller PI (I bought from Naza).....also...there
are many different specs available...such as 2W turbo...2.0 D4, 2.0 VVTI,
and 1.8 VVTI too...same engine as my Wish 1.8....interior and exterior
looked brand new...am sure they have not touche up the car yet when I
went to view coz still can see full of swirl marks over the whole car due
to washing and polishing/waxing, and some stone chips on the bumper. And
the car was actually laying at the open yard waiting for it's turn to
enjoy a refreshing touch up and "spa" before they display it in the
showroom....

No regrets buying the Caldina...

[WishGialla]

mackie bro...Caldina available in may different specs and engine....for
GT4 version....recond shall be around RM 175-190K...depends on
year...mileage...and accs...also comes in different edition...mine is the
NE edition...the highest factory specs...

As for new GT4...eeehhh...it cost around RM 240K....

The turbo version also comes in 2WD...shall be lower price than the GT4...

Shall you be hundting for 1...do inform me...can get a better deal for
you from my SA than other places...I have 2 more friends also booked
liao...they got better deal than me......lower by 3K...due to the
higher mileage...I think about 22K mileage....and the accs setup...

Anyway...happy hunting then....
