You have an option; if you want to upgrade the sound-system, a show-car type, or modify it to the rugged off-road look. If you are living in an urban-area and you are using it as a daily-driven vehicle, I recommend to choose the sound-setup— modifying its audio system and installing subwoofers —and show-car type setup.

One thing that is a must for all enthusiast whenever they are going to pimped their cars is to change its wheels, or "shoes" — urban word in the US. From a descent 17-19" rims used for off-road, or 20-22" blinged-rims as shown in hip-hop videos.

Toyota Innova: GT Express / UV express and Airport Taxi Service

While I'm stuck on a waiting shed somewhere in Manila last weekend, finally I saw it once again, I think the only GT Express or UV express 2010/2011 Toyota Innova that renders its service to commuters.

Many transport business operators, whether GT/UV Express or airport taxi are opting for Toyota Innova compared to its competitor like the Mitsubishi Adventure, Izuzu Crosswind, or Isuzu Highlander.

On the GT/UV Express case, it is mandatory to operators to retire their old vehicle——example would be the old toyota tamarraw fx——that is in service for more than five years and need to purchase a new vehicle in order to used their existing GT Express or UV Express Franchise mandated by LTFRB or Land Transportation Franchise Regulatory Board; benefits investing on a Toyota Innova as a GT Express/UV express is the new engine and D4D technology which aims to be fuel-efficient, which is good because less fuel more profit; they are using a 2KD-FTV engine, proves that they are using a new engine compared to its predecessor. Availability and affordablity of spare parts for Toyota Innova is another thing that is best with this vehicle in terms of after sales aspect.



On the airport taxi service, operators are also opting for Toyota Innova because of the price value and riding comfort of the vehicle, the suspension use on Toyota Innova——2010/2011 models or first generation and second generation toyota innova——is an independent, coil spring, double wishbone with stabilizer, 4 link, and coil springs; one of the biggest asset of Toyota Innova compared its competitor in terms——once again——of riding comfort.

Besides the airport taxi or gt/uv express, another emerging transport business which is feasible to Toyota Innova is car rental or cars for rent; providing a new vehicle to clients this will create an impression to the operators or service provider, modern features and design is the biggest asset.

So the next time that you will invest on vehicles for your start-up transport business or if you are already into this industry and planning for a multi-purpose vehicle or MPV, I recommend or try Toyota Innova——with an IMV standard. This can be also a reference in the future if you are waiting for the release of the 2012 Toyota Innova in the market.
