Crosswind XS,XL or XT

[jzimmer]

Thanks everyone! I'm now thinking of getting the XS and planning to have a security system/central locking installed as the vehicle will be left unattended overnight for those trips. Will the casa security system suffice? Or is a third party system better? If so any suggestions? Will installing a third party system void the electrical warranty? Thanks in advance everyone!

The manual system is enough already, though if you love to have the benefit of just having to press a button instead of using the keys in unlocking the car, then go and buy a central locking system. A third party system is cheaper as compared to the one being offered in the casa and it wouldn't do any damage to the electrical system (the electrical system of the crosswind is way too simple for it to go haywire with a simple installation of central locking system just make sure that the one you are buying will also be installed by the seller).

P.S.: All cars have issues with salty environments (also ask the dealer if they have already rustproofed the under chassis) , I suggest that after the trip, you thoroughly wash it.

Thank you very much!

The Innova J is looking attractive, especially with the discounts flying around at the world of Toyota expo :-). Any thoughts on Innova J vs the XL which is roughly at the same price after discounts. Thanks in advance!

Well the Innova J is world's apart. It is better than the Crosswind at any given circumstances, speed, safety, comfort.... Etc.

And it's probably safer to take around the city as ASBUs might not even bother flagging you down.

IMO since you considered the Innova J, don't even bother looking anywhere else. It's a great car which will serve you for a very long period of time.

if you plan to buy a car then sell it after 3-5 years, innova.

if you plan to buy then use it for 10 or more years or for keeps, buy crosswind.

yep....spot on....
my crosswind has logged in 250,000 kms already.....and the only thing replaced in its engine is its water pump.....
With the crosswind you don't have to worry much about maintenance....no worries about timing belts, ECU's, sensors..
Just blank the EGR + 2T on diesel....and bye bye usok...

The Innova will also last 10 years with proper maintenance.
