I got this car/mpv in 2006 and it has clocked 90k kms. I thought of doing this little justice to the great contribution from toyota. Till today, after 8 years, the car is in the same condition as the day I took it from the showroom. The car is performing at the same level even till today. Pickup, gearbox, clutch, mileage, you name anything, they are all giving topnotch performance.
It is fun to drive this in city or highways. The gear change is minimal. I have driven max 650 kms in one shot but there was 0 body strain for me and my family members. That is the level of ride quality in this car. We can drive on and on for 1000s of kms continuously, if time permits, without any strain. It has given the mileage of 16 kms on highway when driven between 80 to 100 speed. I get around 11.5 in city with full ac on.
The pickup is stunning, drive at ease in any gear, overtaking or uphill drive, everything is very easy and fun in this car. On the maintenance side, I have replaced tyres at 70k kms, battery aft 5 years and other regular change of oil etc. Otherwise I dont see any big investment on this car. Toyota service, Nandi in bangalore is excellent. They are very cordial, highly professional, workshop is maintained very well like a factory. You get a family environment when you visit the sales or service center.
Overall it is a very nice car, never planning to replace it. Thanks to the contribution of this from toyota.
