Fresh from Japan! JDM Toyota Cresta JZX100 (same as chaser and mark ii)

[@choolwemwanalila5461]

I have one, have had it for 14 years, is the first and only car I have ever owned , will never sell or give it away as it is a reminder of my late dad. I love my car!

[@HoutPateta]

Now I get it why Hiroshi Uchiyamada used to like it.

[@johnkarl8373]

The Toyota Cresta in this generation is stunning. I like the color as well.

In Bangladesh, All 3 of the X100/JZX100 family members (includes the Chaser, Mark-II and Cresta) are very popular. Mark-IIs are mostly seen, Crestas not too often and rarely Chasers.

This car is so awesome, I love it so much

[@DiffFamilyReviews]

Great video. Would love to see the whole process of purchasing, importing, your first impressions, etc…

[@DrewGarage]

Well thank you sir! We shot the entire process of going to pick one up, with some gray captures of our excitement on film, last year, but you are right, it is time for a fresh take on the excitement of going into the port in seeing one of these things for the first time!

[@manny9025]

Are these reliable and easy to work on ? Just as a regular everyday car. Not looking to modify

[@theblishknovk]

Can you feel the extra weight in these when cornering vs a chaser/mark2? Also where is this for sale? What is the price? Thank you.

[@DrewGarage]

The only other one I’ve had was an X 90 mark two, which road absolutely fantastically, but I would say this vehicle drives more like a crown. Absolutely wonderful vehicle, would be an absolutely perfect daily driver in its stock form, or a unique build for somebody that doesn’t want a chaser. $12,750, Rochester New York. USA title will be here tomorrow or Tuesday

[@theblishknovk]

@@DrewGarage thank you, yeah i imported a gx81 Mark 2 few years back and to me that generation felt like my old MK3 Supra with a longer wheel base. But i havent driven a 90 or a 100. I am searching through the auctions daily for either a x100 Mark 2 or Cresta. Wouldnt mind a Chaser either.

[@DrewGarage]

@@theblishknovk have you ever driven an S155 crown? To me that’s what this car reminds me of. Or pitcher a brand new 2001 Camry, the V6 model, but without the lag in the gas pedal and without the feeling of being “pulled” but rather pushed. If a camera and five series had a baby but it felt more like the Toyota

[@theblishknovk]

@@DrewGarage no i havent driven a Crown yet. Just curious what the extra weight feels like on the same chassis vs the other 2 sister cars. Ive been on the auctions for a few weeks and just won a Cresta. I was only looking for Cresta's and Mark II's and just happen to win a Cresta first.

[@theblishknovk]

@@pellacars if its anything like my old mark 2 ill be happy that car was so solid. Felt like a stretched version of my Mk3 Supra

[@jdmdiesel371]

Very nice!

[@DrewGarage]

Brother Lee! Thanks man!

[@goodvibes4351]

The only gripe I have about this gen of Crests is the rear styling. There is something about it that I cannot put my finger on it.

[@DrewGarage]

Ahhh see I loved it. It has an almost art-deco set of lines that wrap around. All x100s are beautiful - not sure which I favored. Mark ii but with a cresta front?

[@goodvibes4351]

@@DrewGarage my favorite combination would be a facelifted mark 2 rear with a chaser front. Either way, they are beautiful cars. Quiet, fast, stable with a beautiful form factor. Thanks for your video.

[@DrewGarage]

@@goodvibes4351 sounds beautiful. I hope someone builds it! And yea they are great. Forced to choose i think I’d take a jzs155 crown royal saloon. Not crazy about my wife’s jzs149 Majesta compared to either of these. I do have a jzs151 v8 Majesta coming in a few weeks I’m excited to try, but I typically like more basic cars. Can’t wait to get my hands on a jzs171 in a few years

[@goodvibes4351]

@@DrewGarage you do have quite classic taste.

Rolled back mileage

[@takcleberry]

Something that threw me off was he said the timing belt was changed at 100,000 km but it has 65,000 km so either that or he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and it is 65,000 km but the timing belt wasn’t changed and it’s a sticker to change it at 100,000 km

[@tonynmason2384]

How much is this for sale for?

[@DrewGarage]

Sold for $12,000 sorry :( I have a 19,000 mile 1996 Toyota Crown, perfect other than faded paint on the bumpers from being parked in the shade it’s entire life in a carport in Japan. If interested, 585-771-0111

Weird. My name is Drew and I just got a JZX100 Cresta about a month ago 😂

[@DrewGarage]

That’s perfect lol loving the car? Sold mine and miss it

[@Gh05tN4pp4]

@@DrewGarage Ive only gotten to do a little bit of driving with it. Replacing all the bushings currently but its an awesome car and I love it. Cant wait to feel how much better it is with new bushings.

[@DrewGarage]

@@Gh05tN4pp4 Did you go Urethane? Thats a performance upgrade for sure but will take a chunk out of the "cloud-like-ness" of the ride. Im driving a 19,000 mile jzs151 crown right now, love it. Will be my daily in the fall once the convertible goes away, unless it sells first

[@mr.redeyes2583]

Some teacher wrecked mines. Expect to pay alot of insurance :(

I think you have to get rid of that war crime National flag of Japan.

[@DrewGarage]

I had come across this before and was on the fence about using it - but I’ve seen it in soooo many advertisements. I think this is a regional thing, and in my part of the world it is just a Japanese flag with a unique look. Are you able to elaborate? I’m interested to hear what you have to say about this

[@u2piansocialist]

@@DrewGarage it's not just a regional thing. Japan is war crime Nation for global. The advertisement that you saw is also wrong. The flag is like a swastika of Germany. The rising Sun flag is a symbol of militarism, sir.

[@DrewGarage]

@@u2piansocialist I will change it to a regular Japanese flag 🇯🇵 within 24 hours :)

[@u2piansocialist]

Thank you very much sir.
