Karena sudah cocok pakai Toyota Kijang Kapsul dengan ketangguhannya mengarungi jalan kota, tahun 2004 saat Kijang Innova launching pertama kali di Bandung, saya langsung beli 1 unit. Sampai sekarang unit yang sama masih dipakai dan tidak rewel dalam perawatan. Saya sudah tidak sabar untuk upgrade ke Innova yang baru. Toyota INNOVA siiiip… deh
