I had my 05 Innova G D4D from 2005-2009 with 89tkms before selling it. Gave me no problems using it as a daily vehicle. It is bigger than the crosswind, more comfortable and overall more pleasant interior and ride. Very fuel efficient and easy to drive. Carried a lot of weight as I used it to haul merchandise as well. The only reason I sold it is because I usually sell before the vehicle reaches 90tkms. I've read a lot of D4D problems but I don't think it's a deterrent, it's now 2011 and I'm sure you won't get a unit with engine problems. The most expensive thing I had to replace with the Innova is the battery, even that lasted for almost 4 years. Other than that, normal maintenance with perfect record Good resale value as well. In 2005 the Innova G is 935k, I was able to sell it in 2009 for 600k. In comparison, my in laws bought a crosswind in 2006 and sold it the same year.
