2008 Toyota Blade
Up for sale is my 2008 Toyota Blade, or as I like to call it, the sleepy hatch that looks polite but knows how to handle itself. Only 94,000km, heaps of life left, and packed with a few carefully chosen extras that make this one a cut above the usual.
** What You’re Getting **
>> Only 94,000km – barely run in for a Toyota
>> Lowered aftermarket suspension – tighter handling, better stance
>> 17” BGW Compton alloys – mean look without going over the top
>> Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 tyres – grippy performance tyres, only ~5,000km old
>> Grundig head unit – Bluetooth, upgraded audio, no aux-cord battles
>> Regularly serviced and well maintained – this car’s been looked after, not thrashed
** Why You’ll Love It **
This is a great all-rounder, plenty of power from the 2.4L engine, super smooth to drive, and you get Toyota reliability with just enough spice to keep things interesting. It’s fun, comfy, and doesn’t scream “look at me” (but definitely turns a few heads anyway).
** Who'll like it? ***
Would suit someone who wants something a bit different without going full boy-racer. Perfect daily, or a smart base if you want to take it further.
Open to reasonable offers, but please — no silly lowballs. If you're looking for a cheap runabout, this probably isn't your car. If you’re after a clean, sorted Blade with a bit of character, let’s talk.
Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

One size fits all rates cap model ‘unworkable’, says Waipā DC
Waipā District Council says the government’s “one size fits all” proposal to cap rate rises could disproportionately harm fast-growing councils such as Waipā.
On Wednesday, Strategic Planning and Policy committee members debated the council’s submission on the proposed rates cap model.
