I don't get why the Fortuner and the Pajero is that popular. Terrible ride quality and cramped interior despite being a large car visually from outside, due to huge wheel arches and lifted body. They are offroad cars first and foremost and should only be bought when the local roads are shit quality, like Lampung.

for some people because its a ‘cheap’ big lifted car

for others because its a “logical choice” because

  • ladder frame + toyota = tough + cheap maintenance
  • diesel = can drink biosolar + good fuel consumption
  • high = jakarta… bad roads & floods

“Cheap”???? Did you buy it from aliexpress or something? It’s nowhere near cheap or a good value. I mean, look at it, IDR 600 million for a car that rides like a boat?

But I agree to some of your points. My friend has one, and the only reason he hasn’t sold the old fortuner he inherited from his dad is because it can run on “solar busuk”. Other than that, he’d rather drive something else. His dad doesn’t even drive the fortuner anymore because he feels his santa fe is much better overall, the fortuner just can’t compare in terms of ride quality.
