High-brow stuff with a V12, factory air suspension, and quality unlike any other.
And this one used to belong to Matt Brand from CarSauce.
If you’ve been around the block and owned a few decent cars – you’ll appreciate what a Century has to offer.
On top of layers-upon-layers of factory paintwork, there’s a fine-grade Japanese wool interior, four heated, electric, and massaging seats, and even a rear VHS player & screen for your guests to watch Home Alone.
Don’t forget to draw the curtains. Aside from all that razzamatazz about build quality and amenity, the Toyota Century is still a modern marvel. It’s powered by Toyota’s only V12 engine; and as you’d expect, it’s smooth and bullet-proof.
It also rides on primo air suspension wafts and conjures a sense of occasion each time you drive. It genuinely rides like a cloud and irons the road flat.
It’s fun, different, and you’ll undoubtedly make a splash wherever you go in it. This one used to belong to our friend Matt Brand @ CarSauce, watch his full review on this car below.
