Ground Engineer Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) I was thinking of buying a Fortuner but am put off by the fact that it has a solid rear axle (same as a pickup). Saw a Toyota Innova last week on second road and was very impressed with the space and the 7 seats. All the benifits of the Fortuner but with independant suspension all round, a lighter car and the smaller 2.5 litre D4D diesel engine and 2 wheel drive. Also a bit cheaper than the Fortuner. Does any one have any experience with these cars. Good or bad. Cheers, Rob. Edited July 2, 2008 by Ground Engineer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uros Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Innova gets my vote for the ugliest car around. Also I would not call it a SUV, where the S stands for "Sport". For a Mommie Wagon a better choice would be the Wish. Unless you really want the diesel. I think the sales figures for the two cars reflect this.

initiala4 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I got one as a company car. Its ok, not too bad and the car holds well in terms of reliability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plus Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Innova is based on the same, pickup platform as Fortuner, it's not a "proper" SUV by any means. They used to offer them with 2l petrol engine, is it still an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its competitor Isuzu Mu-7 does however, which might in part explain the difference in market share... I am extremely happy with my Fortuner, about 23,000 kms on the clock and no problems, just a comfortable and roomy car. / Priceless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
