I am a Jamaican Button ---------->
I went with a Crown Hybrid (GWS204), and love it to bits, but if I was a younger man, I think the Mark X is really where it's at. That 0-100 was extremely impressive.
The crown is awesome too
@AvenirRacing dude how is the battery of your crown holding up? I'm keen on getting one but with the batteries being 12+ years old, wondering if they've lost too much capacity?
@@byrondeif they haven't already been replaced in Japan, they'll need it. You're looking at about $4k
@@byronde The individual cell is the same as the ones in Camry hybrids and Prius, the Crown has more cells and total votage is 288v.
@@byronde Honestly, I've already had the P0A7F code twice lmao. Clear it and keep going. I've budgeted for a replacement, and the car is still driving effortlessly, I've just been lazy. But if you buy one, get a new battery ordered asap. Mine is fine most of the time currently, but it does drain very, very quickly (in traffic, it'll drop from 80% to 10% within 400 meters.)
I'll be ordering from InfiniteEV - $4,220, shipped, supplied, fitted+labor, and old battery disposed of, including decent warranty. Not too bad.
In Jamaica my brother has a 2013 gs 250. Very nice car. Burns fuel way too high. What we do here is tune them for better fuel economy and higher power with better pedal and gear switch response time. I must say though, when you clean up one of these its a reallll beauty
Thanks for sharing brother

@@LexusIS300Hunderated

Mark X is also very very popular in Pakistan
As a jamaican, I approve of this message

@@TonioFr-ht5qiHe's talking about popularity. There are far more probox on the road than Mark x or Crown. Smh
@@sekou3758ye but that a because that is mostly a public transport vehicle
Come to Jamaica and do a vlog on them there’s a lot of fast once’s here NA , turbo , supercharged you name it it’s here
Would love that eh

Watching from jamaica 🇯🇲 one of our favorite mark x it on the crown
💯 thanks for watching
This thing is literally everywhere in Zambia, it's so popular there can't be an accident without it💀
Zambia ku chalo😂
Lol basically same in ja
It's this generations Toyota Altezza. Especially in Zambia
Muli bwangi
Last🤣
As a Jamaican I owned a mark x for 4 years and it was the best car I owned . Very reliable and comfortable not to mention when you put your foot to the gas pedal it does respond. Mine was a four wheel drive though and I didn’t regret it
You mean all wheel drive?
Do they still have the later ones in 4wd?
You need to review a crown athlete now. 🔥🔥🔥🇯🇲🇯🇲
I’ve don’t quite a few crowns 👑 check out my channel
The Mark X is popular in my country 🇿🇲, Mozambique, Pakistan, Jamaica and a few other countries. The supercharged 2gr and limited manual version are difficult to find.
They make supercharged versions of the mark x from factory but really hard to source though
Not to mention if you are trying to repair/restore these - you ain't going to get help nor support from Toyota/TOM'S/Ogura...
Everyone just wants to race in these, but nobody gives a shite about repairing/maintaining it.
We do love the mark x in Jamaica, UA-cam recommended it because it knows I love mark x content
U damn right…am living in America now..& I really don’t care too much for no damn electric vehicle anyway I luv my Toyota & Lexus products thats all I drive..& I luv their Hybrids too..but now am driving the last of their V6 models 22 Lexus RX350 really nice 😁am Jamaican too
no one wants EV🤢
First thing im jamaican and im glad to finally see videos like this ‼️ big up 🇯🇲
big up mi g love from JA a fiwi car dat fi true dung a jamaica.
🇯🇲🤝
Awesome review man i have a 2009 Toyota Mark X 350S and love it definitley quick and suprises the holden and ford owners the 2GRFSE is seriously impressive the thing i like the most is they have alot more room than the IS350 and also weigh only 1550KG compared to the 1620KG IS350 every bit helps aye haha
They are really cool no idea why I don’t see more on the road!
Do these come with a Lsd or are they a open diff?
@@lukemothug open diff unfortunatley
I was looking to get one of these but ultimately went with an IS F when one came up for a good price.
*also it's G's, not GS. Later replaced with GR Sport.
Although I love these cars, the ISF is probably the better choice mate lol
I would have an isf over this but it’s more money remember
One of the best reviews I've ever seen for a Toyota Mark X. I subscribed. Respect from Jamaica 🇯🇲 🔥🔥
lol as a bimmer driver I still respect the acknowledgment for the people on the island pushing the platform forward. 🇯🇲
once you go bimmer you just cant drive anything else. I've had an e34, e30, e31 and an e46. rolling the e46 now, but im getn old, tired of fixing my cars. plus japan makes it really difficult to have a old car. so im gonna get a honda. not happy .
Interesting review on the Mark X. I really like that it is rear wheel drive. They would be a much better handling car than the standard Camry. It’s a shame they didn’t release them here. It’s a good looking car. Far more interesting than the boring EVs and SUVs. How has our choice of car become so limited as time goes on?
Absolutely Peter the car industry is dying quickly 🥲
we need to boycott all ev’s
They drive similar to BMWs it's really a Japanese 3series great car.
@@rokusentertainment5787 more lik 5 series.. too big n boat like
for such a slouch box that's a great 0-100 time! didnt even know these were RWD. Now someone just needs to lend you an RV37 400R as I think these have been slept on too.
It goes alright eh! Pretty impressive car
Needs a ZF gear box
It is always interesting to learn about a car that I've never heard of.
They are a cool car
The Mark X is no secret...these beauties are popular all over Japan and in parts of the Carib. By far one of my favorite looking Toyotas since the X130 came out.
Crown and Mark x are the most popular cars in suriname 🇸🇷❤
Fr bro 🇸🇷
Stop ley
There is an higher trim version to this which would be the Mark-X GRMN, that one as better aero, brakes, suspension and is equipped with a six manual transmission.
Would love to see that rare model
Is it also supercharged from factory?
@@lukemothug No it's engine is naturally aspirated.
The is also the modelisa that is superchaged from factory
@motorsportmagazineja5853 nice to know!
Interesting and amazed to see all the cars we didn’t get here in the states. It’s one thing to not get them but it’s another to not even KNOW about them 😧
Their are a lot of hidden gems
Idiot mark x is a camry with a bigger engine
Damn I’m early, would you consider travelling?? I have a vf Peter brock edition (supercharged ls2 780rwhp) and a fg mk1 turbo 680hp
whats a peter brock edition VF? worked at holden and never heard of it. HDT blue meanie?
@@dw2176 pretty much a group a hdt but came with a Peter brock certification apparently 1 of 30
Shoot me a message on fb or Insta!
I didn't know VF used the LS2? Explain more
@@BrickLayingStudthe s1 vf came with the 6L
Top of the line is the Mark X GRMN. Those came with factory carbon top and 6MT with more aggresive tune and better suspensions.
They came out after this I believe
@@RossReviewsau yep, and I believed there is more than one that was imported.
Dont drive in water with the Mark X... Transmission cost a likkle change... The Injectors dem softer than egg shell. BUT the car nice fi drive .. Bad machine...
And the 500 grim..markx supercharge 360 hp six speed tops out at 260km..those hard to get now in any country,mostly in Asian market
Jamaicans and Pakistanis watching this 👁️👄👁️
🤣
Also very populair in Suriname 🇸🇷 🫶🏾 also the crown
A pure waste people live Ina jamaica mark x crap a car apure old car dem hype wid on the little banana Republic island😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😊😊
The previous model mark x offer a 3gr-fse supercharged option with 235kw in 3ltr form very rare vehicle in aus though
Cool
Dis car in ja, you can find every single where u go😂, but no one talking about the proboxes my god those are a whole 'nother story😂😂😂
Here in Jamaica I have the black in this specific mark x with sun roof and it’s pretty fast
Very nice brother
Also why the Probox not as popular check Jamaica n Brazil roads 😂😂
They do have a supercharged from factory mark x but shii is extremely rare I can’t even find a video of them only documentation 😅
And manual I believe also 👀 very rare
@@RossReviewsaucouple of them here in Jamaica one is currently for sale
When i find back the video i will send to you...i saw a black one with the supercharger🥰
We love them in Antigua too 🇦🇬
But Jamaican is definitely leading the live train
Bad man ting lololol.jaustrailian ting bredda.bless up
Toyota run Jamaica roads,check all car mart most %70 Toyota rest honda ect.resale world wide king Toyota,honda second..this has sporty suspension s, supercharge in this 3.5v6 360hp same in the crown,same engines..not close bro 500+ hp ,the drift is build like a supar drift,beast💪🇯🇲💯
Just a heads up, the 2015 Aurion models has a button to turn off traction control. I know you already reviewed a TRD & the older standard ATX 40 series model. But if you could, give the 50 series Aurion a try, especially the sportivo version. It's quicker, handles better, and it's faster than the older series.
True haven’t tested a new one yet thanks for the info
The Jamaican Lamborghini..
Every body loves these in Jamaica 🇯🇲
And everybody hates them too 😂
I HATE them, too common, this trend needs to die, we should be seeing dodge viper’s and 90’s sports cars on the road more often💀🇯🇲
@@cyberdannydmorgan5863 go buy some then.
If you've owned one hit my like button. I'll start it off. Owned 3 plus the 13th Gen Crown😂
Mad respect
@@RossReviewsau ya mom. Jamaica represent 😎
They are really popular in jamaica and other Caribbean countries
Bro in Jamaica we even have the (+M) modalesta version 355hp that’s like the m5 competition if the mark x 🔥
Respect from Jamaica 🇯🇲. Subscribed
👏 mad respect
Jamaica #1 Car 🇯🇲
These are very popular in the Caribbean and certain parts of Africa
Looks amazing! That 3.5 litre V6 is one mean mother!
Not much happens under 4k.
It sure is!
One of the hottest car in Jamaica RN...
It comes with a six speed manual. Jamaica real loves this car. It started with the Mark II. In Jamaica they can build this to 1000hp if you have the money.
Tuning capabilities are limited with the 2gr-fse,not to be confused with the 2gr-fe which is in the aurion here in Aus,..The supercharged trd aurion had to be detuned to 242kw because anything close to 300kw they were destroying bottom ends ...The motors are ridiculously expensive to build up to handle the power ...It's a massive reason I didn't buy one myself,because they visually are one of my fav jdm cars
I’ve seen it im Jamaica 🇯🇲 500hp you can look it up.. I’m sure they spent decent coin tho
@@RossReviewsau yea to build them also a country that probably has a massive aftermarket capability,cheaper parts
1fse is already at 770whp😂😂
Is Ah Big Scamma That Di Dawq Ave A Bimma In A Mind 😂🤣
Driven one of these before, exact same spec. Such a cool car, very stylish and quite quick. if the gearbox was a bit more responsive this would be a damn weapon. Always love the rants about the EVs tho cos i agree so much 😂
Appreciate it dean
Nah, Bro. This car is very popular in JA 🇯🇲. This runs the roads of 🇯🇲 and they are very easy to modify and tune here.
Great cars
They're worshipped in Jamaica 🇯🇲... Especially by the young popular and out going youths!
😂
Mad respect to Jamaica 🇯🇲 👏
Although mine is the 250G version.....I love it for the agility it presents on country roads in NZ. Would definitely snap up the 350S if one was available 🙏
Good choice!
All Jamaicans gather here (all viewers)🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Toyota got so much cool shit I heard about this car when it came out and I said to myself this is it. This is the best more recent modern four-door sedan you can get from JAPAN.
they really do have so many great sedans
Bomboclaat ting nice yffffff😍😍😍😍
Oh yes, they are very popular in Jamaica
🇯🇲🫡
Dude started off the video paying homage to Jamaica. Nuff said.
🫡
Come to Jamaica bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’ve been to Kingston once before.. awesome place
I have a Mark X 2008 and is really wonderful car... And also we have a lot of this version in Mozambique 🇲🇿.
That’s a nice ride was impressed that a car like that hits 100 kilometres an hour so fast for a Toyota
Agreed! Pretty impressive
The best I've seen is low 5s. Remember Ross said the transmission is slow, which is correct. So with a bit more teak, low 5s is possible...
“Not popular”… wait until this reaches Jamaica 😂😂
🤣
these things are everywhere in New Zealand, as common as a corolla
Really 👀
Yea, a lot of mid 2000s models around. Peeps have them sacked out with rims. Never understood the appeal but now I do. Great video
Will send ticket for your trip to Jamaica bredda....
Legend I gotta see that car scene 🇯🇲🫡
lol Jamaica national car I tell you.
🇯🇲👍
Jamaican friends recommend me watching this video, truly amazing 🔥 love from jamaica
was finna comment they are popular in the Caribbean but it seems the Jamaicans beat me to it😂❤
😂😂😂
2:04 I’m in NY. I was just bout to say, homie on the wrong side of the road. 🤣🤣🤣
Jamaican dream car fe kids like me
Great review🔥🇯🇲👊🏽
Thanks 💯
Bro the crown was the luxury car ,the first for Toyota from 1955 till now,mark2 markx same car just upgraded in design styling,was not build to compete crown in terms of luxury,the crown put nuff Benz and BMW Audi to shame in luxury
You should do a review of a Nissan fuga any of them
Most definitely, I've got one and love it :)
I’d like to they are cool also
Toyota is the national car of Jamaica. Lol we love a beast that can skate pon toll
They rock 🫡👑
Hey that’s a Jamaican car 😂🚗
The Crown Athlete also very awesome. Mark II, Mark X, Chaser, Brevis, Verossa, Blade very common in Suriname. Mark X especially used as getaway car by cr!m!nals....but now an ordinary Vitz (not GS or RS) has become more popular as getaway car.
So it’s a Lexus GS350 with a Toyota badge.
It’s 200kg lighter
@@christophedecavalla2941 that’s pretty cool. I have 13 GS350. I live in the States and never knew this car existed.
Skate we skate mark x Pon E toll....
Run it up 🇯🇲👏😈
Toyota mark x are also common here in zambia Southern Africa
Mostly driven by boy racers and playboys😂
Also from Japan some of them came with a supercharger these are known as M+modellista.
Otherwise good review.
I’ve heard that a couple times not interesting
Try review a Toyota crown next
It's another Jamaican loved car
I’ve don’t almost all of them 👀
The Mark X 350s are very popular in Jamaica
Mark x is popular where I'm from. Pretty cool cars. Old school mark 2's too with 2jz
I imported one of these from Japan last August and I've been really happy with the car. For a V6 the fact that it makes 240 kws is really impressive, but honestly the biggest surprise is how light this thing weights. It is the same lenght as a 2015 bmw 5 series and it weights 1460 kilograms 😂 which is pretty insane to me.
Here in NZ you never see a white person drive that car.
lol HAHA
It's also popular in Suriname🇸🇷
They are very popular in Jamaica...believe me
I believe 🤣
