if its for the first.. i guess.. no harm done... second... i think ur current one would serve u better.. unless u have to have room for 7 folks.. family car then.. let them drive too?
no doubt this is a regular toyota with a vvti engine.. but reviews have reported that the FC is quite horrible... becoz its too damn huge/heavy.. i might be wrong but i think it has full time 4wd too.. not too sure..
personally not a big fan of SUVs so.. this is more or less.. uninteresting to me.. but if it serves ur needs.. go ahead gua.. but i think there r other better cars out there that maybe be a better buy.. to me anyway.. -
yeah i jus noe dat this big baby drinks like hell

VVTI yes but then its 2.7L engine is less powerful than my current 2.5LOriginally posted by nOrmalbOi:test drive for fun? or this gonna replace ur ride? or ur family car?

and its 500 Kilos heavier.....(around there) and the thign that turns me off y is it at 98k with COE cos it has DRUM BRAKES....For such a big and luxurious and heavy car to have drum brakes is a good recipie for disaster but bo pian....my ride might be going into the scrapyard so my family currently considering this....but will still let u all know abt the test drive -
might be going scrap yard? u long lamppost like someone here... but was going much faster?Originally posted by AE86tofu:VVTI yes but then its 2.7L engine is less powerful than my current 2.5L and its 500 Kilos heavier.....(around there) and the thign that turns me off y is it at 98k with COE cos it has DRUM BRAKES....For such a big and luxurious and heavy car to have drum brakes is a good recipie for disaster but bo pian....my ride might be going into the scrapyard so my family currently considering this....but will still let u all know abt the test drive

Crude at US$67 per barrel, chassis of the Hilux truck, 4WD drivetrain(SG all good roads)...
forget it.. get something more practical and less thirsty! -
i heard the fortuner's engine was based on a toyota car or van?
It should be a petrol version of LiteAce? -
The body chasis platform is based on the Hilux Truck . the engine is used in Prado. Just look at the wide huge wheels ...that alone can kill you. Just imagine the power needed to overcome the inertia.
-
the tyres won't be cheap, you can't change rims readily, as for the brakes, i read from reviews they're mushy.
SUV in SG really useless.. they are wasteful, gas guzzler, dangerous... but if you got money to burn, why not?
-
well the Hilux is the Invincible....so i can say its pretty sturdy....it can even withstand a 20 storey fall!!! yup...tried and tested on top gear...but then I like 4WD....only prob is the engine which is weak....crap its weaker than a 2.5L engine...brakes....Drum???!!! not somewhere where i want to save $$ on....Originally posted by RSKeisuke:Crude at US$67 per barrel, chassis of the Hilux truck, 4WD drivetrain(SG all good roads)...

not true wad....my current SUV does 9KM/L with 4WD on and with a 2.5L engine...so its not too shabby and its not dangerous....despite having survived such a bad crash my rides chassis suffered negligible damage...just a nick here and there...nothing a norm mechanic cannot fix....only prob is the drivetrain....which costs a BOMB 2 replace...Originally posted by RSKeisuke:the tyres won't be cheap, you can't change rims readily, as for the brakes, i read from reviews they're mushy.

being dangerous can be a two way thing.. SUVs are dangerous to other road users. SUV has a higher roll-over tendency. 4WD is not bullet-proof. Law of physics is.Originally posted by AE86tofu:not true wad....my current SUV does 9KM/L with 4WD on and with a 2.5L engine...so its not too shabby and its not dangerous....despite having survived such a bad crash my rides chassis suffered negligible damage...just a nick here and there...nothing a norm mechanic cannot fix....only prob is the drivetrain....which costs a BOMB 2 replace... -
If its for the SUV feel and image, I would go for the harrier. The saving in petrol will offset the initial price difference. No third row on harrier, but the fortuner 3rd row sucks .

well...Impressions is that...its a Bus to drive....2ndly..brakes...Not confident at all....worse than my X-trails...even if my X-trails brakes are spongy at least it bites well....this one dosen't....engine responds well to accelerator unlike my X-trail which is poor cos of the E-throttle....but its weak....car feels kinda sluggish thats all i can say but then the suspension is good...
