Fortuner 2.8 tebudiesel brows.gif
Not as bumpy as many people say. Its quite comfortable for me. Plus fortuner are using coil spring and not lift spring like the hilux at the rear. It is 4wd suv after all, if u expect it as comfort as camry then wrong. My hilux rogue if compare to pre-facelift, less bumpy but still bumpy than fortuner. After changed to softer absober then feel comfy for the rogue. Fortuner u no need to change anything, its comfortable.

If u want quieter engine get fortuner 2.7 petrol but quite high fuel consumption compare to 2.8 diesel.
CX8 also good choice btw.

2.8L Turbocharged Diesel is a nice choice, horse power is not important in big size fortuner, but the torque 500Nm is quite impressive, for the 2.7L petrol variant is a total junk fuel guzzler and underpowered. Same as Mazda, turbocharged diesel variant is good to go, NA should be 3.5L onward for this sub 2 ton vehicles for good acceleration, otherwise is a pump gas kit fuel guzller even worse than mostly any 3 tons lorry out there.

Always travel with 7 adults +1 baby seat

Just want to say , back row three adult (one 170, two close to 180) still ok from melaka to Penang

Not as bad as most people claim, bumpy don't think so.

If want less headache will get an fortuner, more versatile and rugged, after all it's an 'mpv' so don't expect can take corner and zig zag like your usual sedan /myvis on the road.
If u drive gently u can feel the beauty of this car.lol

Only downside is luggage space not really enough, cannot take in hard case , maybe install a roof rack for longer distnce travel

Even better than Myvi zig zag and corner much better, no problem doing corner over 140km/h, I often doing road trip on Kundasang road during hill climb from Tamparuli to Ranau, but must upgrade the suspension kit, change to better RIM's and Tires, additional stabilisers bars, this simply upgrades costs you another RM35K alone. The acceleration is 2x much better to any sedan comes with 2.0L NA engines, this 1GD-FTV is comes with 204 Hp & 500Nm torque, easily let Myvi eat dust anytime! that is stock engine config comes from factory, simply upgrade aftermarket chip like alpha tech, easily gain 300hp & 800Nm torque. Is another step of beast that need skills & experience to take control.
