customer feedback

I have dealt with J-Spec Imports three times in the past and based on the quality of service and of the cars imported I would be confident in dealing with Ben and the rest of the team again should I decide to import another car.

Personally, I couldn't pay them a greater compliment than my returning business.

The J-Spec Mileage Promise

Speedo tampering is rife in the Australian market to the point where more imports than not sold by Australian dealers have had their mileage wound back. See how importing yourself easily avoids this pitfall.

Toyota Prius (NHW10)

A car that perhaps history will remember as being one of the most influential of all time, in 1997 the first generation Prius was released bringing the Hybrid concept to the masses. By utilizing a combination of conventional petrol engine with an electric motor the Prius gets vastly improved fuel economy by relying on the electric battery under light load conditions, and the petrol engine only kicking in when more power is needed. The battery is then charged by unused power from the petrol engine or via regenerative braking, and efficiency was improved further with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

The magic figure for the Prius is of course fuel economy; Toyota quotes it at 28km/l (or 3.5l / 100km). Power from the petrol engine is 43kW (58hp) with the electric engine bringing a further 30kW (40hp) to the package. In cabin the power distribution between the two engines and battery can be seen on a monitor which also allows for mode selection such as if regenerative braking is to be used. Dual airbags, ABS brakes, climate control and full electrics are all standard.
