Hello again Jig, Apologies, our car is actually the 2009, 2.4Z. Senior moment I'm afraid!!! Jim

Hello Jig, I have a 2009 Vellfire 2.5 and find it fine. The chain driven 2.5 engine has enough pull for me and gets around smoothly without any problems. Obviously does not pull as quickly as the 3.5 would and will probably be a bit slower up hill, loaded up with the camping gear. Consumption is decent getting about 9.8km/l average on mostly shorter runs. I hope this helps. Jim

Hello Phil, Looks a lovely car indeed! Best of luck with your trips on the continent. I'm actually still out working on a ship just now, but I'll be home on Tuesday and thats me hopefully finished. Time to hang up the old sea boots. We just camp in the UK. Booked up down in Cornwall for the 3rd June, but will be heading down to the Lake Distract and other UK Campsites a good few times before then. We still enjoy the tent and have just got a new one for this year. Big old thing, but has to take us, the dog and three grandkids comfortably. Can't wait till the season starts again. Jim

Many thanks Rojie. I hope it goes as good as it looks. Jim

Hello Phil, Many thanks, Not being converted, we're pushing on a bit now, but we still use the tent. Just upgraded to a bigger one now that takes the grandkids and dog easily. Cant wait for the season to start. Jim

Hi all, We have just bought a Vellfire, 2009, 2.4Z. Hoping to get her in a couple of weeks. Really looking forward to it. We have had quite a few JDM cars over the years. Our previous car was an Elgrand 3.5, 4wd. We are retired now though and wanted to get a newer machine a bit more friendlier on the pocket, but still big enough for the camping trips with the grandkids and the dog. Vellfire ticked all the boxes and has the benefit of being beautiful looking also. Can't wait to pick her up. Jim
