Toyota Blade - more than just a fancy Corolla?

[@wyattoneable]

You've got a full service garage going on there Jon. Good for you to take on extra work Your keeping your skills sharp!

[@txsviking]

He just needs a gas pump ;)

[@Badgertronix]

It's nice to be self sufficient in looking after vehicles and great to be able to help out a mate

[@Badgertronix]

@@txsviking the gas station is just down on the main street and they sell hot pies too. Maybe if I got the missus to cover off the baking and I pumped the gas we'd be onto a winner

[@stuzman52]

You’re doing a lot of service for other folks and even had a camera man. Looks like you’re going into servicing cars full time 😀 Keep up the good work Jonathan! 👍

[@Badgertronix]

Thanks Terry. It's nice to have some variety and this car is quite a rare version of a common car.

[@mufaronzira]

Hey, do you know how reset the 'remaining distance left' on the dashboard display after refueling

[@kennedyxhulu4933]

Where can I get those tire stands online?

[@OldManTony]

One of my fellow motovloggers has just bought a Crown in Japan. They look like one hell of a Japan only car!

[@Badgertronix]

The Japanese make some very awesome cars they don't like sharing with the rest of the world. We seem to get plenty second hand here

My Toyota Blade keeps revving while driving what could be the problem sir

[@mroyen3358]

Hi, am here for enquiries really, one: is there a 3door version of the blade for corolla or Auris and two: LHD version exist or not and finally, is it possible to convert from RHD to LHD for the blade ....... thank you

[@Badgertronix]

No idea sorry. It's just a Toyota Corolla

[@ebaimulema6668]

It is possible to convert

[@huskyhakunaadventures3056]

There is a jdm 2007 toyota blade for sale here in Canada with 42000km for 7500 cad. Is that a good deal? 2360cc 4 cylinder with cvt transmission.. are these good reliable cars? I need a car for college was wondering if you think this is a worth while car to buy? Is it the same as a toyota matrix?

[@rishabhverma5087]

May you Kindly Inform me the front brake pads used and their part number if any. Thanks

[@amesmmm]

I'm not sure if you'll see this comment but I found your video helpful! I'm looking at buying a 2007 blade (standard fwd 2.4l ) it's done 65000km. New brakes, tyres, it's tidy. But I'm aware /read about this engine oil /engine issue with the 2.4s? What do you think couple years later , ? Is this an issue with all blades or just luck of draw? Is there a way you can tell when buying one ? Ultimately does this mean you buy more oil for the car, it needs more than average ? Or does it have bigger complications? I'm hoping you'll be able to help !! Or anyone else out there !

[@EM-bj8xe]

Hi I’ve had a Blade since 2018 the engine oil issue isn’t that much if at all an issue. I’ve only had to recently top it up before a service because I’m driving 145kms per day up and down hills and sometimes doing speeds of 140km/h. So if you are going to go faster than you should then you’ll need more oil than usual otherwise it’s not that much of an issue. The blade has been nothing but reliable for me, so much so I think there ‘might’ be something wrong with it because there’s been nothing wrong with it.

[@EM-bj8xe]

It’s an awesome car good on gas typical Toyota reliability. I recommend getting a Blade G for interior wise and if you’re lucky get a TRD or Sportivo version or 4WD version which is more like an AWD. It’s good value for money I’m looking at getting the Blade Master G simply because it’s just affordable luxury and a disguised little beast of a car. People underestimate the car then get smoked! ;)

[@jasonkintiba9764]

le volant d'une toyota blade commence à bloquer le voulant quand tu roule... ou mettre mettre de l'huile hydraulique?

[@deutronomy1672]

Am on the market for the blade or auris, which one should I buy, bit concerned about the oil consumption on the 2.4 engine

[@Badgertronix]

Both are quite boring and have the junky 2.4 🤷‍♂️

[@Caribbeanpitbulls]

My transmission started slipping 😢

[@Caribbeanpitbulls]

What other car uses the same steering rack as the toyotablade?

[@Badgertronix]

Nissan Cucumber or Daihatsu Wingback. Maybe a Perodua Cheesecake too. I have no idea and why would you think I would know?

[@Caribbeanpitbulls]

Does the blade have a dipstick for the transmission

[@Badgertronix]

No idea

[@amadecefoabudo3225]

Muito bom o vídeo, estamos assistindo de Moçambique

[@WHOHATESTOWORK]

My bosses daughter has one, what a sleeper it is, 3.5ltr v6 from the sportivo, lil pocket rocket

[@Delta1NZ]

Nice video! I have seen these around in the Blade Master version with the 3.5L V6, but haven’t driven one. Would go like a scalded Badger I presume.

[@Badgertronix]

Thanks! The 3.5 with AWD would be a decent package. Not sure how a CVT would cope with that. Definitely go like a badger on acid

[@numbereightyseven]

@@Badgertronix The 3.5 doesn't come with awd; fwd only. And yes, it's fast - so long as the roads are dry. I've had one for 3 years now.

[@EXOVCDS]

Quite the production upgrade... nice. Guess it's time I do something different as well. Naaaahhh, I'm too lazy! =)

[@Badgertronix]

Just trying out some different styles whilst I had a helper/cameraman. Gotta keep it fresh. I'm sure you can find a new USP for your awesome vids

[@mostlymoparih5682]

@@Badgertronix Styles? Speaking of styles is that a new style you're sportin on your lip or was ya getting ready to do a, Got Milk commercial? Rings? Lubes? and Jammin and then some rock and roll music. When ya pull the plugs I was expecting We are the Champions from Queen.

[@mostlymoparih5682]

I wonder if Batman knows you got his Batmobile oops my bad Badgermobile.

[@mostlymoparih5682]

Hey Thomas do you have a trailer for your Beamer? Funny Homemade Inventions #3 Channel is Mr. Handman trailer is at 0:24

[@jmcorr]

Its kind of like a Rav 4. I had the oil burning problem. Used heavier oil and it was fine...

[@Badgertronix]

Same engine but this one has yet to start using any. Haven't had to change to treacle yet.

[@jmcorr]

Do you need to do diff oils? They were on a surprisingly short schedule...

[@Badgertronix]

Need to look at that and the CVT service schedule. Had to get this done whilst Patrick was asleep

[@jmcorr]

@@Badgertronix the Rav (not a CVT) was apparently sealed for life - but it was very black and I changed it and the filter, made a world of difference.

[@Badgertronix]

VW filled for life fluid ends up pretty dark pretty quick too. Filled for warranty period is more accurate

[@ziggassedup]

We don't get that version here...Not a bad engine but if they blow a head gasket they pull the threads out of the block...That re-thread costs me $600 to have a guy come and helicoil the block and that's not a job you can do at home...Your knees are getting a work out this week mate.

[@Badgertronix]

My brother had that engine in a Rav4 and it started burning oil. SMA did a video series of rethreading one of these. Not for the faint hearted! I'm making the most of being on 'holiday', there are more cars to look at this week. Cheers Zig

[@txsviking]

I agree, I don't want one either :-)

[@Badgertronix]

It's probably the best Corolla you can get.... but it's still a Corolla 😂

[@paulmayou370]

whats this you now have a camera man lol

[@Badgertronix]

I'm in the big league now 😂😂😂

[@paulmayou370]

Badgertronix I suppose your gonna hire Steven Spielberg to do your directing too lol 😂😂

[@Badgertronix]

@@paulmayou370 as long as he comes with Scarlett Johansson as the female star I'm in!

Badgertronix well if that happens I’ll come over and be a stunt double 😂😂😂

[@gilliangore4694]

What sort of review Was That? He said nothing and knew nothing about the vehicle. Very very vague

[@Badgertronix]

That sums up the Blade perfectly. Very vague. What more do you want?
