Toyota mark x and Toyota crown most popular brand in Jamaica
🇯🇲🫶
What about Lexus ?
@@user-pb8ty3un9cunderated
@@user-pb8ty3un9cnot as popular surprisingly. More BMW & porche & Mercedes’ on the roads than Lexus
Mark X is also very very popular in Pakistan
As a jamaican, I approve of this message
appreciate you man
Facts bro
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?
Watching from jamaica 🇯🇲 one of our favorite mark x it on the crown
💯 thanks for watching
As a youth Inna Jamaica having one of these cars yuh get nuff pumpum 😂
Jook the pumpum with the cobra
Yeah yeah dat a true nuff pumpum😂😂😂
Yea the Jamaican girls can't resist the Mark X and Crowns 😂
U right u get nuff wast gal
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
which is right!
fast?? loll
@@mostwanted6379, quick?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jamaicas national car rn 😂😂
U really a dis probox.....nuh dweet
@@ramonkelly6264probox don't even come close to these
@@ramonkelly6264uh mhad? Probox nuh come close to x ah crown bro
@@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
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.
First thing im jamaican and im glad to finally see videos like this ‼️ big up 🇯🇲
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.
We do love the mark x in Jamaica, CZcams recommended it because it knows I love mark x content
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 .
They make supercharged versions of the mark x from factory but really hard to source though
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.
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
It is always interesting to learn about a car that I've never heard of.
They are a cool car
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🤢
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
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
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
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.
big up mi g love from JA a fiwi car dat fi true dung a jamaica.
🇯🇲🤝
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
Respect from Jamaica 🇯🇲. Subscribed
👏 mad respect
Jamaica #1 Car 🇯🇲
Crown and Mark x are the most popular cars in suriname 🇸🇷❤
Fr bro 🇸🇷
Stop ley
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
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!
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.
Looks amazing! That 3.5 litre V6 is one mean mother!
Not much happens under 4k.
It sure is!
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!
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...
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.
We love them in Antigua too 🇦🇬
But Jamaican is definitely leading the live train
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
Jamaican friends recommend me watching this video, truly amazing 🔥 love from jamaica
Ever been to Jamaica ? these are some of the most sought after vehicles because of the engine size and comfort available
These are quite popular in Jamaica and the Caribbean. I remember i rode in one before migrating and it was awesome
The previous model mark x offer a 3gr-fse supercharged option with 235kw in 3ltr form very rare vehicle in aus though
Cool
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🥰
Here in Jamaica I have the black in this specific mark x with sun roof and it’s pretty fast
Very nice brother
I’m a Jamaican bro thanks for reviewing our signature car bro🤙🏻🔥🙏
My pleasure brother
They are really popular in jamaica and other Caribbean countries
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
Mark x is popular where I'm from. Pretty cool cars. Old school mark 2's too with 2jz
These are very popular in the Caribbean and certain parts of Africa
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.
Also very populair in Suriname 🇸🇷 🫶🏾 also the crown
Mark X+Roland = BEAST!!!!
One of the hottest car in Jamaica RN...
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
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😂😂
Bro in Jamaica we even have the (+M) modalesta version 355hp that’s like the m5 competition if the mark x 🔥
We obsessed with it aswell in East Africa..10 years down the road most specifically the 2.5 version
2:04 I’m in NY. I was just bout to say, homie on the wrong side of the road. 🤣🤣🤣
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
Been intrested in one of these for quite a while to replace my '10 BMW 335i M sport. Quick, reliable and practicle, something I cant say for the Bimmer.
These are very reliable and still a bit of fun
I am glad you did this.
Oh yes, they are very popular in Jamaica
🇯🇲🫡
Great review🔥🇯🇲👊🏽
Thanks 💯
The Mark X 350s are very popular in Jamaica
Am from Jamaica and Jamaican soldiers drive then alot because you need to understand MARK X cars are everywhere/common in my country and I going to buy this one.
Bad man ting lololol.jaustrailian ting bredda.bless up
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
Just a heads up, your call to subscribe at 7:51 made me think the video was over.
Really 😅
As a Jamaican, I approve this video naa mean 😎.
Hear this, there is the: TOYOTA MARK X GRMN very rare and it's a manual straight from factory. Review that if you can, big up yuhself. We a skate pon ee toll down yah inna mark x! 😎🔥
Glad you approves bro
They're worshipped in Jamaica 🇯🇲... Especially by the young popular and out going youths!
😂
Mad respect to Jamaica 🇯🇲 👏
Come to Jamaica bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’ve been to Kingston once before.. awesome place
These cars are also popular in Suriname, a small country in the Caribbean part of South America. The mark x is are also known in Suriname als the Electricity pole slayer😎😎
Install some aftermarket coil overs to get rid of the body roll and some good quality tires (Pilot Sport 4S) and it would improve pretty much all it's dynamic flaws by the sound of things.
def would help
Weh the Jamaican?🇯🇲
Let’s go 🫶
Yea national car🇯🇲😂😂
The car finally getting the recognition it deserves
Machine
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
I'm impressed man not bad at all & I like the looks,nice one buddy & congrats on 70k subs Johnny let's gooo 👍
Thanks 👍 always a legend Pete
The mark x is one of the most common cars here in Zambia 🇿🇲🔥
Awesome cars
lol Jamaica national car I tell you.
🇯🇲👍
Finally a car review Jamaicans can relate to😅
Yeh man!
These are good, I prefer to shift with the lever rather than the paddles, you don't notice the latency as much, I prefer the is350 or gs350 but they're all good dailies, and pretty quick around town.
They are cool daily’s for sure
Toyota is the national car of Jamaica. Lol we love a beast that can skate pon toll
They rock 🫡👑
There is a supercharged version the Mark X 3.5 L 2gr~ FE ..Quite common here in Uganda
Nah fi ask if CZcams recommended this to you🇯🇲
Mark X, Crown and BMW the trending cars right now
All Jamaicans gather here (all viewers)🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
As an american ive never seen these, but the body style is very simiar to the 7th gen camry and I always thought those looked very sporty for a camry shilloute wise
I own this particular car now from next ride
no way thats great
Yeah im from Jamaica and yes it very popular here..
As a Jamaican just subscribe
Appreciate you bro! We got some more mad Toyotas coming up
It's also popular in Suriname🇸🇷
Priced similar to a BF F6. They are some floating around $25 - $30K. I'll pick the F6 any day.
I would to 👀
Why? Mark X is better built, more economical, as fast and undoubtedly more reliable. Paid 18k in perfect condition
@@christophedecavalla2941 Sorry. It just looks boring. Like an Uber car with wheels and a kit. Another Aurion. When something goes wrong then the expenses exceed the Falcon overall.
@@vincekara9446 unlike the falcon taxi look? Mechanicals are identical to Lexus GS and IS. Any part price difference with Ford are cancelled by price difference of the car and reliability. I've owned both so I know what Im talking about. Falcons are good and was happy with mine but looks are subjective and they're not even in the same league when it comes to built quality and efficiency.
@@christophedecavalla2941 Actually the BF F6 is climbing in value and I can say that it exceeds the price difference to yours and will continue to do so. In relation to build quality, I completely agree with you; that the Toyota is way superior and more efficient. However the reliablity of the Barra, mated with the German ZF6 speed will give your car a good run for its money. If you iron out is inherit issues, such the transmission bypass cooler, external Turbo oil line feed and an aftermarket, reinforced ignition fix, they will last for a long time. They love constant maintenance and not neglect, like many racers do. Run them to the ground and complain when they get a hefty repair bill. In fact my brother's ~ 2013 Aurion 6 cylinder neeeded a water pump replacement less than 100 Kms. I guess it depends on the way its been treated. Like you said it's subjective.
Looks soooo nice. Would be interested importing one myself and putting a cheeky supercharger on it 😂
That would be cool!
Tom's supercharger was a factory option, 360hp/500Nm. There are a few imported here
The 2.5 version usually gets tuned to around 500HP.. The 3.5 version can easily hit 1000!!!.. ps there is also a supercharged version of this car (the 350s m+ supercharged)
The fastest one is actually the 350s +plus M with the super charger from factory 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
They are very popular in Jamaica...believe me
I believe 🤣
There is actually a supercharger version but It's a rear version
Not only mark x but us Jamaicans are now up for GLE Benz and the BMW they are so common out here like taxi but mark x definitely.
Nice
Was also thinking of getting a Crown but went for the Mark X as it is 200kg less than the Crown and a 100kg less than Lexus IS. I get 13km/l on the open road. Mine is the Premium, which are better equiped, are less likely to have been abused and go for a lot less. If you’re not into the “look at me” thing, they’re a better buy. Doesn’t get a second glance as it looks like grandpa’s Camry but has a better power to weight ratio than a 6 litre V8 commodore. They’re actually 234Kw with 380Nm of torque and weigh only 1550kg. Have embarrassed a few people at traffic lights. Quicker than a TRD Aurion, much better fit and finish and a fraction of the price.
Nice man, I have an IS350 F Sport and it's about 14 L/100. I didn't realise that these were lighter than my Lexus 😯
