Finally! Been waiting for a decent review of the Majesta, well played...
Glad you enjoyed the review mate!
Bought one of these in March last year. Probably the best car I'm ever going to own, it's such a pleasant car to drive, and it'll upset some SS Commodore drivers too haha.
Also, it's about as long as a Hiace or Commy wagon. There's legroom FOR DAYS in the back seat, even with the fronts all the way back!
Brutal fuel economy though 😁
@@alexwangechi7175 got it down to less than 9L/100km on the way from Sydney to Brisi :)
It's honestly not too bad!
good purchase for sure! no brainer
How many kms when you got it and now?
@@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi had about 132k on it originally, now it's up to about 147k.
Mostly motorway travel into the city or interstate highway miles.
Man thanks for the classic and simplicity review on this beast which is the CROWN. Really really love it and looking forward to own one because of you.😍😍😍😍
so glad you enjoyed the review :) they are well worth getting hope you find one!
Awzome vid Ross your vids are getting more and more detailed. Cool to know the backround history too 🤙
Glad you like them! trying to get back to a more detailed informed review :)
Greetings from Perth, WA. Majesta Crown owner here. Great review mate.
thanks mate! glad you enjoyed it
Insane power and performance! Revs all the way to 6.5k! Another example of how good JDM cars are!
They are brilliant
My dream Car. Here in Germany the Crown would cost around 12 - 16k
One Day im gonna get one
you will get it mate! the JDM crown cruising with all the german big boys would be so great! the crown can hold its own
Do more JDM reviews! Love em 😎🤙
i love JDM also.. got a few more in the editing process :)
Wow , what a gem. Always loved the Crown. Nice work bro.
Thank you! Cheers! yeh dont see ones like this all that often
Get one. I've got a Jzs171 Athlete VX. It is awesome 👍
Hello from Vancouver BC, just imported an S184 and it is sick. Got looking at the new gen stuff and never ceases to amaze me with their features. Thanks for the doing this review!
Hey welcome my Canadian brother! i was born in sechelt lol.. glad you enjoyed the review.. really great cars.. im planning to review a 180 series Crown next
@@RossReviewsau I thought you were American Rosscoe are you here in Australia to stay now?Closest I have been to Canada was Detroit in 2015
Great Video. I love it. I am from Suriname (in South America). 80% of the cars here are used cars from Japan. The toyota crown is a very great car. The prices are very cheap here when u compare it with other countries. example a used 2007 athlete 3.5L goes for about 3K to 5K USD depending on the conditions. With some minor mods you can reallly bump up HP.
Thanks again for an interesting ride, I'd have one of these in a flash if they were around. One criticism is the sound was very low today so I couldn't hear the engine sound. Keep up the good work ...
Thanks for the feed back I will try n sort out my audio 😰 always my weak point getting the levels right
You can’t hear the engine because it’s so quiet. It’s insanely quiet. I’ve just cut the second cats off and put Varexes on and it’s pretty loud out the back, but still pretty damn quiet inside. Zero drone. Sound deadening is on point.
Sweet looking car Jono, good review mate
Glad you enjoyed it they are pretty cool
Great review. V8 Toyota. Should be more here.
glad you enjoyed it :) def need more over here
The majestas are such exquisite cars! The s180 generation is my favourite shape haha
Couldn't agree more! i just reviewed a S180 generation majesta! coming soon to the channel :)
I just Owen one this car for my self ave been waiting so long it's my baby 💞💞💞
Great car
Hey bro its all so popular in my country Jamaica 🇯🇲 too 😁 man those guys luv them a true Japanese machine no doubt..I reside in the US now & I see they bringing the new model here but I don’t know man those previous models that we have is bad ass 😂
We do one more luxury functions for these beautiful crowns. CrownFocus carplay integration kits it is the best kits worldwide range for sure.
Great review
thanks mate
Great review bro..
Thanks mate 🙏
Someone's driving sensible! Great review and interesting car 👍🏻
Thank you! 👍 really enjoyed this one for something different
I would LOVE one of these. Beautiful car.
Good cars 🤌
The Royal Crown, Athlete and Majesta are very popular in Jamaica as well. So it's not just Australia. I am pretty sure some African countries import them also. These are luxury personified beasts.
Jamaica! yeh bro good stuff they got good taste
We also import them here in Kenya,we have so many of them.They are an E-class mercedes on a low budget with every luxury.The crown athlete with the 2GR-fse is my dream one to date
Love to see a review on the V8 Toyota Soarer or possibly even the six-cylinder version 1JZ
im keen to do a soarer been trying for a while to find a clean one
Yer that 1uzfe ;)
Awesome car sold mine recently
Nice to see one of these reviewed. I drive a S180 Crown Majesta personally. Love it. You can get these URS206 majesta's with a 4 seat package. Very very nice cars to be in but I can't stand the rear end of em haha
love the S180s! very cool style.. yes the 4 seat option would be very cool to check out one day.. that would be a very rare car over here in australia lol if there even is one
What’s the reliability like on the S180’s? Also am considering one myself..
about a third of the price of an LS460 with the JDM factor (Cant beat it!) awesome reviews mate!
its a very good buy
that 0 to 100 is faster then most of the 0-100s youve done. vip goodness :-)
its quick! gotta love these eh
Where I’m from we absolutely love the Mark X the crown as well but it’s a lot less common as it’s more prestigious
A Tom's supercharged one of these came up for sale near me recently, very cool
thats the coolest one
Nice car Johnny & Toyota cars are known to be very reliable too,the luxury in them & the size of the car probably could be compared to our Ford Fairlane LTD's & Holden Caprices if they were still being built,great vid mate until the next one take care.
Absolutely thanks again pete for watching and giving your feedback :) next Video you will like a lot im sure
Waiting for my 2016 Majesta, it's v6 hybrid which is killa.. my 2012 hybrid slays V8's.. I'm hooked on Crowns
What do you get litres per 100km?
The oh shit bars on the back is a good enough reason to get this
Awesome Review, now, let’s find me one of them 👍🙂
You should! great cars.. glad you enjoyed the review
Awesome video. Would love to see a toyota century v12 another step up from the majesta
You and me both! lets hope one day i find one!
There’s one for sale in Perth, WA.
JDM cars that have terrestrial TV is an interesting one. It's a bit of a grey area. New car dealers, by law, have to block the TV feed through the infotainment while the car is in gear. Only allowing audio. But when the car is in park it is unblocked. I used to work at a Jeep dealer in Japan and the workshop would add that to cars as part of the PDI. But, it is not illegal to buy and install a bypass that allows you to watch while you drive. (often found at auto parts stores) You wont get pulled over for having the TV on while driving. (I should know, my own car has this feature and my kids watch cartoons as I drive...Also almost everybody does it) It's a strange law that isnt really enforced.
Imported one of these along with 2x GRS204 !! Cannot wait..currently driving Majesta UZS186.
TIP - use CPL Filter if you shoot videos during day
thanks for the tip have been looking to ad a polarizer to my ND filter.. bet your excited for the cars! :)
@@RossReviewsau Yeah, CPL will definitely do the trick :) . Yeah cannot wait, landing on 1st of May 2021.
I own one from the early 80's, which is fun to drive. It will be even better when I get the 1uz into it.
oh hell yes mate.. wicked..
Crowns are beautiful! The closest thing we have here from Toyota would probably be the Aurion, Almost the same engine in the V6 models (2GRFE In the Aurion ).
The top end Aurions have a lot of similar features, there pretty fast and a good sleeper.
I’m desperate to review a top level aurion.. actually so hard to find now
@@RossReviewsau I have one! The very last facelifted Presara, yes they are getting quite rare now.
@@mrxss1 i think the best Aurion ever produced were the TRD versions that had superchargers.
Camry is Aurion for the Australian market.
For the algorithm 😜 bro you the man
😁 haha cheers brother.. will have to do a collab when i get some cars to review in kal :P
@@RossReviewsau bro im gonna be in perth a week and half from now. Gonna leave wife and kids in kalgoorlie. Goingto perth for another skript for meds. But gonna hang around for a few days to try and get some video. If your doing some video would love to Tee up with ya
@@ElijahTichborne hit me up on instagram mate! i'm usually always filming something on the weekends :) be keen to catch up
Just purchased one of these after working my ass off offshore and I just can't fucking wait to go and pick it up
Good buy!
That's a Jamaican car Jamaican love it 😀 we love toyota crown 👑 and markX 🇯🇲
YA MAN! gotta love the crowns ;)
Great review! But, if you have not done it, try to review the Toyota Mark X 350 Sport of the same year of this Majesta; you and your viewers will be amazed.
glad you enjoyed the review.. have always wanted to try a mark x hopefully i get the chance one day
Im in perth too, just got the crown on my radar atm!
they are fantastic
Goodluck with that bro, cars been featured on MCM. Watch the prices go up
Especially the antiques from Japan!
very cool eh
I'm from Jamaica here in the Caribbean people love Toyota crown not just Japan
My daily driver 2014 V6 Aurion has a similar resemblance of the inside of that Crown. Not bad, an 8 speed in 2011!! They definitely kept that spec in Japan, and sent the 6 spd abroad! lol
yes can def see the resemblance in the shape to the aurion.. yeh the 8 speed is a huge improvement over the 6.. so many secrets still over there in Japan lol
This car is basically the mk3 Lexus GS460, very low volume car (i have one 2008) but that 8 speed is the same on from the ISF so been around since 2008
Just purchased the exact same car in dark blue,probably the best car I’ve ever bought absolutely love it
Also great review 👍
Good choice! you really could not go wrong with getting one of these... fantastic vehicles
Good day to you ,i've been looking for that exact model cant seem to get the name with so much same looking crowns ,am not sure if this one in the vid has aftermarket parts on or so ,can you help and send me thee exact model package pls ,been looking for 3 weeks ,tks
The mechanical specifications and interior design are reminiscent of the Lexus LS in the US. 4.6 V8 with roughly 340hp, this is what a LS 460 has between the production years 2007 and 2017. The infotainment system, door panels and centre console are almost identical to the LS of the era too. Unfortunately, the first Crown model, here introduced just this year, doesn't inherit the ambiance of a Crown at all.
Nice review. Currently looking at importing a Toyota crown Grs204 athlete into the U.K. not a V8 but a 3.5 V6.
Very nice! love the looks of the Athlete be interested to see the speed differences :)
@@RossReviewsau I was sent this by someone on a U.K. owners group, seems rapid enough for what it it.
czcams.com/video/N128gGJsb1Q/video.html
But now Iv watched your review a couple of times, may have to look at the price of the s200 Majesta.🤔
Do u have a ta moko tattoo? Haha. I'm from NZ that's sick. Nice review to.
Yes I have lol my family is originally from NZ i lived there before moving to Aus
We had them until the 80's build quality excellent , the classic over engineered toyotas . God I hate the term over engineered.
Supurb build quality , instead.
Early ones that found trouble in the states with not being able to maintain a 100mph cruise speed were still well built. Pre 55 mph.
Back in the 80's ,90's 302 windsors where a popular conversion with the 60's 70's model indicator over quad head lights.
Love your work mate keep it up 👍
thanks mate :) appreciate the info and feedback
Lexus GS460 runs a similar drivetrain which i own :D
Both are pretty rare over here.
yeh heavily based off the GS platform.. very rare havent seen another S200 in Perth yet
Different platform but same engine and tranny, i wish they bring it to the US
Hey thanks for the review. How does the ride quality compare to more available cars - Camry, falcon and even a Lexus LS 430/460
the ride was very very good and also little road noise.. would be comparable to a lexus..
Acceleration is awesome.. I am planning to buy Crown like this.. 😁
Great 👍
6:26 😂 ok, that clears things up a little! I got stuck playing the intro a couple of times over because I wanted to check if i imagined the hints of Australian i heard!
20クラウンマジェスタカッコイイですよね
200 CROWN MAJESTA is so cool!!
very cool car! hoping to review a S180 next :)
my i love Crowns you should try hosting a giveaway on one
Nice ride. Looks like a luxury Camry, the Camry that they should've sold here for the petrol heads!
I agree! def has that fancy camry vibe haha
i agree too
Or luxury Aurion
Its far closer to a Lexus GS than a camry
80K for a luxury Camry anyone???
Hey Ross, just came across this review and i thoroughly enjoyed it
Now that you tested the S180 majesta and this S200.
Which one do you prefer and which is more comfortable?
definitely the S200 is the better one if you can afford it.. but the S180 is really good and very cheap
We have a lot of crowns here in Jamaica🔥
Such a cool ride eh
You should up your eq for your videos, you are to quiet and the ads come in blowing up my speakers. Great video btw.
Sorry about that man! I’ve been trying to fix that.. bloody adds always too loud
@@RossReviewsau just some positive feedback G, I had my volume 80% to hear ya(wouldn't say I'm deaf either😀). Great content again. Very informative.
These are very popular in Jamaica, all models from 2012 up (by import only) (but we import a lot of them)
Yes Jamaica does love em eh! I’ve been before once 🙏 beautiful place
Great review. Should try and track down a Nissan Fuga 450gt for a review. got a nice v8 in that.
That would be cool! i love the FUGA! remember seeing them in japan n instantly liked them
@@RossReviewsau Yeah i really want one as a daily and they aren't expensive either.
@@scottjohnson7373 yeh surprisingly reasonable considering what you get
That car looks like a beast of a Toyota crown
very nice one
The Crown is very popular in other Asian countries too.
Believe me these cars are way better thn its german rivals, people in Pakistan are literally crazy about these cars, there are two cars from same era "Mark X" and "Crown"and there value increases with time in Pakistan......
The toyota crown and the toyota mark x they are Jamaicans 🇯🇲 favorite cars.
they are so good.. i just finished a review today with a toyota century factory V12
I’m looking at one of these atm. Can the user interface on the infotainment unit be set to English? They really should have sold these here!
Good review of the Crown, would love to see the review of the MacDaddy of all them all, V12 Toyota Century. I think prices range from $45,000-$60,000 at the moment.
Let’s hope one day I get the opportunity! Glad you enjoyed the review
lovely. can you review the 2009 crown?
Going to review one soon! Have one keen 👍
@@RossReviewsau looking forward to it!
Hey guys, I've saw somewhere, there was Honqi H7 sold in China, which was related to Majesta. Does it means, it is like Escalade, and Suburban, or they're are more differences?
This is very nice, also 4.3 awd vs 4.6 rwd?
I do like the squeal of rubber and every little bit of displacement is important so, if you ask ol me what I choose, expect 4.6 rwd
def go the RWD! only would opt for AWD if i lived in a snowy climate
If you want to review a turbo 1jz you should try to find a 1999-2003 Toyota crown athlete v, might be a few around WA
i will keep my eyes out for one! would love to get in a Athlete.. i was unaware they even had a 1JZ!
Some also come with a 18 and even 20 speaker fujitsu-ten sound system
nice cheers for sharing..
I didn’t find out about a Crown until a month or two ago 😭😭😭with the hybrids sold in America and I want one soooo bad. I went to get an oil change on my 2017 ford escape S.E. and the mechanic and I were just shooting the shii about cars and I mentioned the crown and says “why won’t you import the older ones from Japan?” I had no idea these gems have been in production for over 60 years 😭😅😅
Love these cars. Are these the same as an Ls430 but with a bigger engine? Do you know if its possible to programme the screen into English? Really tempted to buy one of these as a second car here in the UK 🙂
im not sure if its possible.. i know there are places that do very specific cars and years.. but no idea about this car :/ really great vehicles tho would still recommend even without changing to english
@@RossReviewsau was just thinking could you take out the infotainment system and replace it with an android system?
I prefer stock but if it was tastefully done would look OK?
Also would keep stock colour wheels on. Gorgeous car!
I love the 1995 crown
1J
The GS460 - URS190 has the exact same chassis, floor pan and all mechanicals are the same. I recently sold my GS460 . This car the URS206 is something of beautiy and they drive really nice. I've driven 1 , same colour that was imported about 3 years ago. since then, there's been a couple more imported and sold here in WA. i currently now just bought a Spruce mica GRS204 , which again shares the exact same chassis, floor pans, mechanicals as the Lexus variant *S190 series. My personal opinion is that the Crown is much better finished off and the leather is soo much better than the Lexus for some reason. It's softer and more comfortable. My Athlete is cloth as i was majorly put off by the leather in my previous Lexus.
crown is really the lexus of japan.. i've always thought that also that the crowns feel a bit nicer inside and out than lexus models..
@@RossReviewsau You do know Lexus is made in Japan at the Tahara plant. This car possibly has A22 at the plant code which is Motomachi , where the Crown, Mark X and Estima are built. Lexus after 2005 was sold new to the Japanese public as they built their own spefic models that weren't just rebadged Toyota models.
The hybrid V6 version you skimmed past of this is actually faster with 100kw electric + 200kw from the V6, they're pretty cool but unfortunately weren't specced with the nice Majesta bells and whistles...
interesting.. would love to see one would make a cool comparison
I love mine so much, but even though it's a Toyota, things do go wrong and repairs a re pricey. but what a car!
Awesome 👏
I have a S180 2005 Crown Majesta with the 4.3 3UZFE, there's quite a few Crowns, over here in NZ, prices range from 8k up to at least 30k from dealers. It's a bit hard to get parts though unfortunately. It's a beautiful car, very smooth to drive with plenty of power. The early 2000s model had quality control issues with the dash material, it does not like the heat and tended to crack and melt a bit like mine.
Surprised to hear about the parts issue, what have you had trouble getting?
I had to replace the ABS Pump, over $2000 from toyota, was trying to get used one. I eventually got one from a NZ wrecker, I was going to get one from Japan?
thanks for the info mate.. appreciate it :) love a S180
Totally didn't realize this video was from
Australia until around the 7+ minute. Australian content creators should start following and doing this, by providing contents that are more neutral in terms of the accent, for it might attract a wider audience. 🔥👍🏼👍🏼
As an Asian, I struggled to understand/appreciate the thicc accent by Australian content creators, Economics Explained (for example).
Thanks mate.. yes I have a benefit as I grew up in Canada so my accent is much easier to understand than most true blue aussies 🇦🇺🤣
It’s weird growing up speaking English, because we can understand people speaking English with most accents from around the world. I don’t have a hard time with other languages, I just can’t hear their different accents at all (say Sydney and Perth or Tokyo and Nagasaki).
Toyota Crowns are quite common here in Pakistan too
Toyota crowns are so underrated and so are mark x
I wish Toyota fans would appreciate them more like the Supra
They need to be appreciated more.. amazing value and amazing cars
The mark x 3.5 are beautiful the thing that turns me off them is cylinder 5 issues
Love these cars, relly want one, but I'm afraid of the maintenance lol
They are very reliable especially the V8s only issues is getting parts sometimes as need to be from Japan for some parts
I was looking to get one of these but chose a Nissan Fuga 450GT instead.
Was a close decision however.
id love to review a Fuga! very cool cars also
Bro I see them on the roads in Jamaica all the time shii you should see the voxys
Jamaica 🇯🇲 love em eh
@@RossReviewsau yes we do and when we modify them the sounds go ratatata
If the V8 is not enough for you, there's a much older model (GZG50) Toyota Century - ie the Prime Minister spec - with a 5.0L V12 knocking round Perth.
oh man how cool would that be.. weird and crazy cars like that are what i live for
A bigger, slower version of the Lexus isf and gsf but ultimately still just as reliable and comfortable.
and cheaper ;) but yes all of what you said was true haha.. ill take the ISF thanks :)
Would be awesome to see a jzs171 crown
hoping one day i get the chance mate!
Love it
very cool eh
Lexus GS and LS is the export version of Crown. Toyota themselves said neither is better than the other. Crown is for Japanese taste, and Lexus is for Western taste.
yeh i would agree.. just depends what you like.. i like the crown just for its Rareness in the west atleast lol maybe some japanese guys would like a GS as might be more rare in japan
It has always been my favourite family car. I wonder what is the latest model of this type? And is it available here in Australia. Thanks
you can import them here but not sold directly i believe
@@RossReviewsau you mean import them from Japan to here?
*DAMMIT....*
*Why can't they bring THIS BEAUTY to the United States...*
it such a shame you have that 25 year rule..
Hey can you do a 2015 crown majesta hybrid
Just bought a gws204 hybrid and waiting for the next boat. Probaly no one knows the s200 majesta comes with lane keeping assist and night vision as options (extremly rare, I only saw two comes with them in auction lists in a whole year).
Nice 👍 how cool would that be with the night vision haha.. not very practical but man thats cool.. i honestly wouldn't even know how to check as the infotainment was all Japanes
@@RossReviewsau I think Toyota was trying out new techs on Crowns. The night vision system comes with pedestrian recognition but only available above certain speed (15km/h I think). The lane keeping assist is pretty primitive and later replaced by lane trace assist. I might mess up with the hard disk nav system once I have my car. I know it is bloody difficult to do an English conversion but even if I can do a solid state drive swap I will be happy.
just bought a gws204. hybrid also! how was your ownership in the last 2 years?
@@caffeinefix2751 I like it. My 12v battery (2017) came really weak probably due to parking in a Japanese port lot for a long long time during peak covid. However the cheap battery charger I bought has a force charge function and it saved the battery. It will throw some error codes if the 12v is weak. And now it's perfectly fine besides wear and tear.
@@laureus31you haven’t needed to change the hybrid battery? I’m a little put off getting one because of that.
Japan chose to keep this for themselves but gave us the LS460, no complaints from me.
i still love these Crowns more why lol
The hightest trim is the G Type F Package tho! It's 2 times more luxurious than this one👀
These are very popular in jamaica
