I travel off-road frequently, so durability was a top priority for me — and honestly, the Land Cruiser has proven itself more than capable. It handles rough terrain effortlessly even in stock condition. Comfort is excellent — the seats are wide and plush, and the suspension is soft enough to keep things smooth even on unpaved roads. Resale value is impressive. I recently checked the market value of my model after a few years of use and was surprised to see how well it holds its price — it barely depreciated! Interior Design: Honestly, the interior doesn’t match the price tag. The design is a bit outdated and the materials used are average. I wish it looked more modern. Around the gear area, there isn’t much practical storage — there are a lot of buttons and little room to place items like my wallet or phone, so I usually just leave them on the passenger seat. Size & City Driving: The car is large, which makes driving in the city a bit challenging. Sometimes I find a parking spot but can’t even fit in it. Space: Extremely spacious — both in the cabin and the trunk. The second-row seats are very comfortable, even for tall passengers. You can stretch your legs easily. The trunk is also large, with good depth and width, though it sits a bit high off the ground, which makes loading luggage a bit difficult. Performance: Driving is smooth, thanks to the large naturally aspirated engine (no turbo). However, takeoff feels a bit sluggish — understandable given the car’s weight and lack of turbo. On the highway, the performance is great; it accelerates steadily even when loaded, without feeling underpowered. Handling & Braking: Handling through corners isn’t great — the car leans quite a bit due to its size and weight. The steering is heavy, especially when turning from a standstill. Braking also takes getting used to — it doesn’t feel strong in the final moments, so you need to start braking a bit early. Fuel Consumption: In the city, it averages around 16 L/100 km, which is expected for a vehicle of this size. It’s slightly better on highways. Exterior Design: The Land Cruiser has a bold, commanding presence. The design isn’t flashy, but its classic and solid look gives it timeless appeal. Interior & Features: The interior design is very simple but functional. The buttons are large and easy to operate without looking. The tactile feel is good, but overall, it lacks the premium feel you’d expect from a car in this price range. Conclusion: The Toyota Land Cruiser is a strong, comfortable, and highly dependable vehicle for long trips and off-road adventures. It has its downsides — like the dated interior and high fuel consumption — but it’s a vehicle you can rely on. Perfect for those who value durability and stability over tech and luxury.

Is the Trumpchi GA8 considered a mid-to-large-sized car? The Buick LaCrosse disagrees, as its length and wheelbase are longer than those of the GA8. So why is the LaCrosse classified as a mid-sized car while the GA8 is considered mid-to-large?

How's the power acceleration of the Land Cruiser LTD? It feels quite sluggish.

Hey guys, my Land Cruiser tends to pull the steering wheel when driving on bumpy roads, and it doesn't feel very stable. I've already done a wheel alignment, and the mechanic said there's nothing wrong. Is the steering wheel pulling a normal phenomenon?

I feel like the interior of this Grand Highlander is even more impressive and stylish than that of the Lexus TX!

When will the price of this car drop? I really love its exterior and interior design.

Dear fellow car owners, is it necessary to do full car sound insulation for the Vito if it's primarily used for family and for its large space, and only goes on the highway less than 5 times a year? Also, how can I modify the interior for better cost-effectiveness for family use?

The Jeep 2500 has been gone for many years. Can't they just transfer the interior from the 212? Even if there are no designers, they could at least copy it, right? [Facepalm] I've always liked this car, but every time I'm about to change cars, the interior makes me reconsider.

I would like to ask everyone, can the built-in dashcam on the Land Cruiser V6 record interior sound? If it can, how long can it save the recordings?

Can the 718 Boxster's screen be upgraded? I really like this car, but the interior does feel a bit outdated. There's even a CD player under the screen, which is kind of ridiculous. I'm thinking of upgrading to a better main screen a few months after buying it. Will this affect the insurance or future maintenance?

I had the chance to try out the new Toyota Corolla, the 1.2T Elite version. Honestly, there aren’t many changes in the design compared to the previous generation, but I thought I’d share my thoughts anyway. The engine performance isn’t particularly strong — 116 horsepower on a car this size is just acceptable. But when you push it and let the RPMs climb, it actually feels better than expected. It’s not slow, and it feels lighter than I thought it would. The CVT gearbox is smooth and decent overall, although at low speeds there are some light vibrations and a bit of drag when you lift off the throttle. When you demand sudden acceleration, it takes a little time to reach the higher revs, but it’s not annoying. The suspension handles big bumps well, but you can feel smaller imperfections in the road, especially at lower speeds. On curves and sharp turns, the car holds itself pretty well and stays composed — that was a nice surprise. The steering is great. It’s light at low speeds and firms up nicely as you go faster. The response is smooth and precise, and the brakes are easy to get used to and feel very natural — no issues there. Noise insulation is average. Wind noise is handled well, and the engine isn’t too loud, even at high RPMs — that’s actually better than the hybrid version. But road noise does come through at higher speeds, and ambient noise isolation is just okay. Inside, the design hasn’t changed much — it still feels quite basic. The materials aren’t great; most of the interior is hard plastic. The screen and instrument panel haven’t been upgraded like in the 1.5 or hybrid versions. The infotainment system is slow and outdated — not what you'd expect in a 2024 model. Front seating is fine — you can adjust the driver’s seat to a comfortable low position and the steering wheel aligns well with it. The back seats, however, aren’t great. The space is average, the seatback is a bit upright, and the cushion isn’t very long. The trunk, on the other hand, is decent and handles luggage well. In terms of safety features, you do get useful tools like radar and driving assist, but there’s no rear parking sensor — which is strange. Overall, the car isn’t lacking in features, but the priorities feel a bit off. In the end, this car doesn’t really surprise you — and that might actually be a good thing for people who prefer something reliable and familiar. It’s not futuristic, but if you’re after dependability and ease of use, it could still be a smart choice — especially with how crowded the market is becoming with hybrids and EVs. Ultimately, it depends on your needs and your budget at the time of buying.
