2000 Toyota Hiace TD 4WD review from Poland
"The best small business and holiday partner!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It's a new car, so nothing had happened yet.
I use Mobil 1 oil and the engine works like a Swiss watch. It's made originally by Nippon, not by any of these obscure European factories so I think it is really the most reliable car of all.
At 120 000 km I replaced the brake shoes, but I assume it's been my fault as I prefer "sharp motoring".
General comments?
Marvelous handling.
Comfortable multi positions for the driver. Watch out! Cozy like a dream bed :) - don't fall asleep.
A few additions like a rev-counter, a folding handle for two "any-size" bottles or cups, sliding doors on both sides, 4 x 4 drive make this car outstanding and comfortable.
