I've driven the 3.0-liter version of the Toyota Reiz, and it felt really powerful. That was a few years ago when a friend bought a used older model Reiz with a V6 engine. The moment you stepped on the gas, you could feel that strong push from the acceleration, and overtaking on the highway was effortless. As for the interior, the seats were comfortable, and the sound insulation was pretty good, making long drives less tiring. The downside, though, was the high fuel consumption—averaging around 12 liters per 100 km in the city, which meant higher fuel costs. There are still quite a few of these cars in the used market now, and they're quite affordable with great modification potential, making them popular among car enthusiasts. If you're after driving pleasure, this kind of large-displacement rear-wheel-drive car is definitely worth a test drive. It might not be as economical or practical as smaller-displacement cars for daily use, but the thrill of occasional high-speed driving is unforgettable. Maintenance isn't too troublesome—just regular oil changes and check-ups. Overall, the 3.0-liter version is one of the iconic representatives of the Reiz.

I've worked on many Toyota Reiz models during repairs, including the 3.0L V6 version. That engine delivers smooth power output and has relatively low failure rates, as long as regular maintenance is performed and the spark plugs and fuel injectors remain trouble-free. Using full synthetic oil for routine maintenance can extend its lifespan, though fuel consumption is indeed high—around 12L per 100km in city driving, costing more than the 2.5L version. Customers often complain about fuel expenses, but the larger displacement provides quicker acceleration and responsive performance. When buying used, it's advisable to check the engine's condition for excessive carbon buildup affecting performance. The 3.0L version offers more sporty handling with stable rear-wheel-drive cornering. Compared to the 2.5L, the power boost is noticeable while weight increase is minimal. With proper maintenance, it outlasts ordinary engines, though older units require attention to sensor aging. Overall, it works well as a daily commuter or for short trips, while also delivering excitement for occasional spirited driving.

I really miss the era of the Toyota Reiz 3.0. The power was simply classic, with an amazing V6 engine sound. The acceleration and strong push-back feeling while driving were incredible, especially when speeding on the highway—it was exhilarating. This car was very popular in the tuning community, with great potential. Upgrading the ECU or adding a turbo could easily boost horsepower. Although the fuel consumption was on the higher side, the cost-performance ratio was outstanding. It might be a bit fuel-intensive for city use, but its rear-wheel-drive design made it stable on curves, perfect for sporty young drivers. Now, finding an older model in the used car market is a great opportunity, as maintenance costs are low. Driving it to car meetups always turns heads. The excitement after every high-speed run is still vividly memorable. It’s definitely worth experiencing the charm of a big-displacement engine at least once.
