Jeff,
I have reently aquired a Gold 2001 JCE10W model 3 litre 5 auto rwd and am Wellington way on the Kapiti Coast.
Have been following the forum for a while and found a lot of info on the Gita before purchase. Fortunately I have a web brower that will translate Japanese into a form of English that has enabled me to suss out the various models and specs.
I am very happy with the way the car performs so far.
