REVEIW:

General impressions:

This car doesn’t even compare to an old Toyota Master Surf minivan. It moves perfectly on highway (I pushed it up to 160 kmph and felt it could do even more) – feels like going on a small passenger car, rather than on a minivan. There’s hardly any vibration, probably because the wheel is not directly under you, but more in the front, and so is the engine. Inside, it feels almost like in an airplane, observing everything from above. But at the same time it’s as comfortable as a souped-up passenger car: here are the armrests and here is the sunroof. The dashboard is shaped more like a control panel of an airplane. The body shape is very original, which makes it truly beautiful and at the same time respectable. Maneuverability goes without saying, even in winter when our roads are covered with thick snowdrifts. Apart from the 4WD mode there is also a 2WD mode, which has come to aid many times when it seemed the car got dead-stuck. Furthermore, the ABS system works to prevent skidding, so you feel all confident even on icy ground in winter. Still it takes some time to get used to the car – it’s quite big and the braking distance is long.
The mileage was 120,000 km when I bought the car. During the first year I only carried a preventive inspection of the chassis and changed all filters and oil, now I’m going to change the back stabilizer bars and the steering wheel spokes. The engine runs like clock-work, the oil lasts long. The only thing is that there is a black exhaust coming out at quick start, but they say it’s easily removable.
