Kung baha lang ang problema, get a secondhand Adventure or Crosswind. Either of which has less stuff that can be damaged in a flood. Replacement ECUs for flooded Fortuners are expensive.
Of course, a Fortuner IS a better anti-flood vehicle than a Vios, but discretion is the better part of valor. I learned my lesson the hard way a looooooong time ago (way back in 2001), and despite our house going four feet underwater three times in the past few years, I have not lost another car to a flood. (Except the pick-up, but I let that get flooded because it was carbureted and had no interior, anyway... just hosed it out and no problem...)

kaedadan lang yan ng sasakyan ko at wala pa naman problem yung akin, maintained naman kasi. Powertorq motorworks at Congressional is a trusted shop when it comes to car maintenance services.
