Fortuner

Breadcrumbs

Last of the old-school SUVs, big on everything with a lot of show. A proper boy's toy.

Comfort

Comfortable, high seats, rides well over broken roads. Not very stable at high speeds.
Performance

Massive amounts of torque from the 3-litre diesel will catapult you past most others. Well matched five-speed manual gearbox too.
Cool

Tall, wide and hefty with a lot of chrome always goes down well. Dress it up with bigger alloys and it gets cooler.
Quality

Cabin and build quality are pretty good although styling is a bit old school.
Handling

Ladder frame chassis, tall stature don't do good to the handling. Pretty good off-road.
Practicality

Great car to have if the weekend bug tickles you often to head to places less travelled.
Running costs

Diesel engine is decently efficient but bangs will be expensive to fix.
