2003 Toyota Kluger CV review from Australia and New Zealand
"An excellent wagon-type vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only noticeable fault has been the extremely loud and physically uncomfortable noise level if either of the rear windows is wound down while the car is travelling at highway speed. A solution to this problem is not immediately clear.
The dealer-fitted towbar does not allow a mini-level ride system to be used, except if another hitch insert is purchased. This might be able to be rectified if the dealer is notified before purchasing.
General comments?
The car seems very well-built, and so far has been a pleasure to drive. The engine has been quiet and willing, and the gear changes have been very smooth.
There is a great amount of useable storage space, which is useful as it is to be used extensively as a tow vehicle.
