Toyota Innova 2012 2.5 GX 8 STR BS-III

The whole front was damaged along with the left fender and door. The total expense in the car was close to 2L and i had to pay around 70k from my pocket. After the repair the car it is running normally as earlier which prooves the service ability of Toyota. It is the most comfortable in its segment. The third row can accomodate an adult comfortably unlike scorpio. A very comfortable for 8 adults so an ideal car for a big family. The ride and handling gives you a very safe feeling. This car has a gr8 punch to overtake at even above 120 km speeds. Fuel economy would be my concern though understandable so being a big and heavy car. Iam getting the milaege of around 10 in city and 13 on highways. The service cost is fine (not too high on wallet)  as per Toyota standards. The tyres would need to be replaced by around 45k kms. Now a facelifted innova is expected in December which has more features. While driving in city, you don’t require to apply the 1st gear, in 2nd gear you can mange to move the  car without any jerks. On highway it can manage  with 4th and 5th gear. Frequent change of gears in not required. You can comfortably cruise 120 to 130 km on highway without any risk. Observed that once the speed is beyond  115 to 120  km. the engine sound will be more any how you can’t expect the speed like sedan models.  While overtaking the other vehicle, you should be little careful on the accelerations if the speed cuts in the middle, again you can’t gain the instant speed immediately.
