Import watchouts
- Check for rust on the rear subframe and exhaust heat shields, as these areas are prone to corrosion in coastal or high-humidity regions of Japan.
- Inspect the CVT fluid for dark discoloration or burnt smell, as neglected fluid changes can lead to premature belt wear and transmission failure.
- Verify the condition of the rear leaf springs and bushings, which are susceptible to fatigue and cracking due to the vehicle's rear-wheel-drive load distribution.
