Toyota Harrier 2000 Black

Review of the car owner Toyota Harrier 2000 Good day! I have long wanted to write a review about my Kharka, but I put everything on the back burner. And here is my review. So. After the sale of my last car (Mazda Familia, 2000), the search for a family car began, as they were waiting for replenishment in our family. My wife and I had strict requirements (like everyone else) for a new car. I have: reliable, tall, comfortable with a roomy trunk. His wife: handsome. After a detailed look at what was offered on the market, the choice fell on TOYOTA HARRIER. And in March 2012. the search for the "Bird of Prey" began. Every day I stormed the sites in search of a suitable option (unfortunately there are not many of them sold) and the search dragged on. Immediately run in front and say that I became the owner of my car only in June 2012. During these three months Ferrets were examined in the Kemerovo, Novosibirsk regions and even the Altai Territory. But there was still no suitable option, then the condition was killed or the wrong characteristics (since  Toyota Harrier 2000 Black the volume of 3.0 liters and front-wheel drive was not of interest). And then the day has come! I came to look at the next ad, and in the city of Novokuznetsk, and immediately realized that it was he! They drove to the service station, where everything was confirmed that there was nothing to complain about. After a short registration of the contract and subsequent registration with the traffic police, I realized that the choice was correct. I liked the car more and more. Until today, I have not revealed a single defect, everything is fine in the car. The appearance matches the content. 2.2V engine and 140 hp. easily handles intense city and highway driving. Let them say that this volume is not enough for him and he does not pull, but I have the following arguments on this score. Firstly, there is enough power for imposing driving around the city, especially the speed limit of 60 km / h (in Novokuznetsk you cannot accelerate much). Secondly, on the highway to a cruising speed of 120 km / h it accelerates very quickly for an all-wheel drive crossover. Buy this car with 3.0l engine and 224hp. at my discretion is very stupid! The fuel consumption is almost one to one, only the transport tax is more than 30,000 rubles. And in the city, as I said, you don't drive too much. I can say the following - on ferrets the most painful place is the automatic transmission, and with a large volume (3.0 liters) and front-wheel drive, there is a great risk of "tearing" the box (on Lexus RX300 it is generally a consumable). Therefore, after the purchase, I changed the oil and the filter in the box (7000 rubles). Also transferred my ferret to MOTULE engine oil, before that the old owner poured ESSO. If you are told that the ferret needs to eat oil, due to the peculiarity of the engine, do not believe it! It's just a tired engine, my level from replacement to replacement is the same. His engine is “million”, reliable and chain. You just have to keep an eye on him. Now a little about the comfort of the ferret, which I talked about earlier. The interior is made of high quality "soft" plastic, which is no longer found on more recent cars. It does not squeak or strum when driving. Everything looks very dignified, captivated by design. Also, very good noise isolation, extraneous sounds are practically inaudible. In general, the quality of the materials of the interior trim is at a height. (A friend of the Camry 2008, a European, so it seems to me that there is worse with this). Velor like new! The seats have lateral support and the back does not get tired during long trips. The salon is very spacious. Rear passengers sit comfortably, if necessary, the rear seat can be folded out and the luggage compartment will double. But even without this, the trunk is quite roomy, a baby stroller is easily included. For me it is now very important))) By the way, when a child goes with me, he always falls asleep, for which many thanks to the Kharkiv suspension. The ferret's suspension is one of the best in the TOYOTA range, swallows most bumps and hardly rolls when cornering. You get great pleasure from the ride, only slightly wiggles. For the winter I put the Korean Velcro, abandoned the traditional spikes. enough for 4WD. In principle, front-wheel drive is generally not suitable for such a car. I have already tried to ride in deep snow, rowing with a bang, does not even slip. I want to add one minus, otherwise the https://jiji.ug/kampala/cars/toyota-harrier-2000-black-cj9ROWw7ENXHLG9KlnilPq2b.html
