Update: Got Delivery of my Toyota Innova V - 8 Seater

sam003 · 12th February 2009, 20:17

Hi All, Finally got delivery of my Innova today. Its a long day for me, got call at 12 to come at 2 pm and take delivery after PDI. Everything was fine but during inspection we found some paint was removed from side rubber. As expected answer was its minor. I told them, you have 10% payment on me, its minor, you forget that I will forget this. No results and finally GM sales come and he ordered for new vehicle from stockyard. So I have to wait another 2 hrs for that. Finally around 5:45 pm got the keys. Here are some initial pics for you guys rest will post tomorrow.

congratulations, nice color - Im veering around to the view that the fully-loaded Innova should be my next car for my growing family. A five-seater sedan just won't cut it.

I like the way the face-lifted version looks - much better than the one it replaces.
Is the third-last picture a scratch?

m sure a better pictorial review is on its way..
drive safe

congrats on ur buy sam. cool pictures. The color is good. they have stopped black and introduced this color. The front grill is giving it a more luxurious look. the earlier one had a little bit more rugged look though.

What really matters is the comfort and space it offers and innova offers that a lot.

Congrats on the buy!

Wow! Second posting on a new Innova purchase.

Great buy and what a wonderful color!

And, that was one cheeky way to solve the "minor" issue! Way to go!

Yup looks like a 5 series. It's not a scratch, it's the reflection of the chrome window beading of the bmw 5 series on the Innova. lol.

deepgautam_qa · 13th February 2009, 10:08

Badhai ho Sam! Facelifted Innova looks much better than the outgoing one....have they discontinued black color?

Cheers!!!

abhinav.gupta88 · 13th February 2009, 10:24

Congrats on the Innova. A very good choice of car as well as colour. Looks pretty good.
The car sure is better than the old innova. Do run her in properly. Cheers!

The innova manual does not specify any run in. When i checked this with the dealer he also told that no run in is needed. Me the surprised. Sam any inputs to this.
Anyway I did not take mine above 2k rpm in the initial 1000, slowly raised it to 2.5k by 2000 km mark.
