I was planning to buy this mighty suv from last year but once i came to know in autoexpo 2012 that they are gonna launch new version i have waited till they launched new avtaar of 4x2 automatic.
I had search reviews on mouthshut as well on team bhp and all most all shows on tv like overdrive, car and bike show and more. And finally, i bought this machine.
Mr. Dhawan on overdrive was insisting to have a test drive of automatic variant and have opted it thanks to him, it is really easy in traffic.
Now about the giant, after waiting of 3 months i have got delivery on 15th june thanks to infinium toyota ahmedabad initially waiting period was 4-6 months.
This machine is awesome, spacious and powerful.
Yes the feel of 4x4 is missing but most of the time i drive on roads less off roads.
I drove upto to 750 kms till date fuel average is less here i would like to mention that this machine is not for people who asks "kitna deti hai ?" they should go for innova or other vehicle if they are looking for fuel efficiency as i have bought this car to go out with family and have fun.
Road presence and ground clearance is amazing, you feel like a king of the road while driving. Engine is powerful although automatic transmission you will feel little slow.
In terms of safety and comfort, it is much ahead of its competitor like ford and chevrolet. Interiors specially dashboard and music system looks dull if you compare it with land rover, audi q7 and Mercedes.
Will update on after sales and service part once will complete 5000 kms and have 1-2 services.
I am a pride owner of maruti esteem vxi from last six years the comfort i feel in toyota is really different.
