2005 Toyota Innova E review from Philippines
"Reliable and fuel efficient car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery warning sign went on whenever I heard a tiny squeaking sound from the engine. It must be coming from the bearing of the alternator. When that sound is gone then the battery is charging again. I experienced this just a few weeks ago when my kilometer reading was at 63,000 km.
The supposed turbo charged engine cannot be felt when you hit the 100 kph speed.
General comments?
The car is a good and excellent family car. Spacious. Trouble free for the past four years of use. The suspension is still excellent.
The interior and dashboard are comparable to a car. It has a chassis and is therefore very rigid and stable.
I have not replaced my battery, and it's four years now and still good. This is the first time that my car battery lasted for four years.
Diesel consumption is fairly economical, despite its 2.5 common rail diesel engine.
