Go For it!

I dont think there is any other car quite like the Fortuner!

I had only bought bcoz my wife thoughts our kids would love to use the extra space. And was she prophetic about this?! Even my kids' friends love it as there is enough space and they dont feel chained to one place -- esp over long distances.

Most other aspects of the car are well written about and mostly true - imposing looks, great road presence (esp around those pesky autos and the unruly sedan drivers!), great resale value, very low maintenance, decent mileage 10.7 kmpl.

The Cons are also well known - interiors is a straight lift from innova and more utilitarian than luxurious, road bumps can be felt unlike high end sedans, and acceleration is not exhilirating (my other car is a Chevy Cruze, which is like a slingshot between signals)

In summary - even if you are not a big off-roader, go for it if you have kids under 15. They will enjoy it the most

Kids love to play in the last row of seats, long distance travel is fun, built like a tank,looksinteriors like innova, can feel road bumps
