    Hi All,

    A quick introduction.

    A complicated situation but I used to own a 2004 T-Spirit in the UK. We moved to Malaysia in 2008 and I originally planned to ship my car over. However due to the tax system that was in place at the time I would have had to pay 100% import duty so we didn't!

    However I am shortly to take ownership of a 2007 T-Spirit imported from the UK by the current owners who are retired and living here in Malaysia (COOLTEK). They are replacing the Prius with a Lexus CT200h.

    Anyway a soon to be happy ending. The current owner is averaging 60 mpg (UK) in the tropical climate. I'm not sure I will be able to keep up the figures as I suspect that I drive a little faster :), however the traffic jams here in KL should be easier to handle with the 'new' car.

    Regards,

    Phil
