Large family car

This was my 4th car and my first diesel. We are about 6 people traveling together and I have been postponing my decision to buy an Innova for want of an SUV. I will have to wait until my next change if at all Toyota introduces  the Fortuner.

I got my Innova, the VX 7 seater a couple of weeks back and the vehicle is already done about 1K kms, due for the first service. I never felt I missed the petrol engine, except when starting, idling and the little vibrations that come in through the gear shift at times. Of course the nimbleness of the Swift was not there, but you can't complain.

I like the linear manner in which the power is delivered and as the speed build up the engine is smooth which is backed by an excellent chassis. While on the move you harly realize the size of the car and she drives as well as a car and you forget that she is a minivan.

Toyota has done well to add a little more fun & creature comfort features, like the steering mount controls, multi info display, parking sensor.

There were a few minor niggles from the car - a little squealing noise from front suspension and issue with the temparature control buttons, which needs attention in the first service.

Overall an excellent car, and my family is happy traveling in the same.
