I don't have one but been researching into one for next year, it uses the 2ZZ engine 1800cc that develops 180bhp with either a 6 speed close ratio manual gearbox or 174 bhp with 4 speed auto. The engine is designed by toyota and yamaha. Some weeks ago, I managed to test an toyota altezza beams, whaaa! I think the Runx is nice compared to Toyota IST V V Ti though IST has a better interior and designed for economy. IST uses the 1NZE engine so 1500cc = 105bhp.
Anyone with a RunX Aero with 2 ZZ engine, share some thots.... :-)
Incidentally, I have the Fielder Z (ZZE123G) which shares the same engine (2ZZ-GE) with the RunX Aero. I have in my possession the 6 speed manual and the auto/tiptronic one. One of them needs to go to a willing buyer:-)
I love the power I get from the car, much more the control I get with the 6 speed manual but tell you what? I hate the interior!! Having tested a friend's NZE, I love the comfort you get inside the NZE. ZZE is more like a sports car. I hate the shiftmatic system (the buttons on the steering) because it forces you to hold the steering with hands if you changed to "manual" mode.
