Toyota Estima Hybrid Review. Our Weird imported JDM Minivan 

This is one of the best, most natural reviews ive seen. Doug De Muro could learn from you.

I moved from the US to New Zealand and bought a freshly imported 2010 with 46,000km for $21k NZD / $13k USD / $17k CAD. It's the 8 seater model since my wife likes to sit between the kids in their car seats. It was the closest thing we could find to our Sienna when we moved and were quite happy with it.

I bought a 2008 Estima Hybrid (I’m in the UK) because of your cool video showing all the features. I love the thing! 😎

B mode is for downhill only - it is for engine braking. Using it will significantly increase fuel usage as the engine uses compression to brake in stead of the actual brakes.

The facelift variant looks IMHO a bit more odd.

Great review. I'm thinking about to buy one 2007 4wd hybrid for 10k NZD 110k km. Was curious about real consumption so thanks for mentioning. I'm only afraid about hybrid battery. Nearly 20 years old could not last much longer and I don't like to deal with replacement which will add extra on cost which I can't afford. Currently driving Honda Elysion but we'll need some 4wd vehicle to get us to skifields safely.

Kind of interesting the electric motors are so weak in this model, the Gen.1 Prius for example has a 44hp electric motor, and the Gen.2 Prius switched to a 50kW motor (67hp) from MG2 and 30kw MG1 that starts the engine and charges the battery, etc

My jokes do usually have a little flair :)

Bad sound quality specially with the bad background music ffs

How do you find it with Km per hour as apposed to mph

I really like your channel congratulations! please keep making estima videos.

Thanks for the video! Been going back and forth on 2006 estima vs JDM Honda Odyssey for my next import.

Awesome video, 😀

It’s not a CVT trans . It’s a “ power split “ transmission . No hydralics No valves No belts !

Hi I am thinking of purchasing one of these is there a way of changing the language on the dash screen??

Does yours do the automatic steering when reverse parking? Its a little button near the mirror controls.

Hi Buddy, would you mind to share the exporter which you were dealing with importing your jdms?

I saw your import video, I'm already in contact with Brian, thank you. Would there be any negative points in your estima today?

Now, let's see what breaks so we can make content :)
