What a Lemon, two in a row. I finally got to know a salesman and he said he would never own one. The advertising costs is just ridiculous in the prado new today 63k drive away, come on Toyota there a 40k car not many improvements viciously in 20 years. 2.5 tonne towing, Rv owners beware not only fined by the rms towing 2.6 tonne. They are not designed for towing family rvs.

This is a great car to drive and use for just about anything, except the BEEPS. Open the door it beeps, step out with the key in your pocket it screams. There are other beeps too many to mention and you can not turn them off. Oh and the maps in the navigation system are rubbish.

I just want to say it is good for big family
It is hard to say which one is good or bad because different people have different expectations
When I choose the car I just ask myself what do you want
The big car, I concerned the parking space sometimes

My wife and I both love our Prado. It's a really smooth ride both in suburbia and off road. The turning circle and handling are both amazing and I feel safer driving it off road than I have in almost all other cars I've driven. We have the MY14 model with the touch screen dash and it connects easily with our phones via bluetooth, and allows seamless streaming of music. As with most Toyota's, the car is very reliable and economical (costs us less than our previous little 4WD). If your after a good 4WD with some bells and whistles, I highly recommmend the Prado.

I bought a second hand silver toyota prado on Feb.this year and my family all love it.It easy to drive even for me, a woman.I don't this the nose is too loud, on opposite, I think the noise is very cool.About the interior is leather and large enough. It is V6 so it's very reliable and I always believe I can drive to anywhere.I don't care running costs because it is V6..

Having always had Lexus cars we needed to a larger car with offroad reliability. Moving to a Prado has impressed me with how safe it feels, how luxurious it is and has all the features for true 4-wheel driving. Country driving is effortless and the kids have plenty of space now. Highly recommend!

Good on fuel. Comfortable to drive but second row middle seat hard. Cant fault anything else other than we really wanted pearl white but had to buy vx model as that colour not available in glx. Altitude wasn't available but is now. Wish we had of known that. All good

Have only had the car for just on 2 weeks. The car is everything I have expected it to be and more. Very comfortable to drive and quite good on fuel for it's size. Only downside is the towing capacity but I knew that before I purchased it. very comfortable to drive and quiet inside considering it is a diesel.

What a fantastic family vehicle.
Tows our camper trailer with ease, plenty of leg room for all the kids, economical and reliable.
A Recent trip from Sydney to Adelaide was a pleasure, easily the best car we have owned (and we have had a few).
Servicing customer service can be hit and miss, however get it serviced by a good local mechanic and they seem unbreakable.

Hardly driven! Kids to school and Brake Disks gone lumpy. Toyota Service guy says yes it is a bit of a problem but not under Warranty! Bought a Toyota to avoid these problems.
How do you argue with a big company; they don't care if they have a problem. They need to be held accountable for problems.

performance is terrific and very quite on road handles like a dream.plenty of leg room dash is easy to look at may be lights on gear console would help a lot. reliability is great and with long range fuel tank we fill up once a month normally unless you are touring

This is a great vehicle that cannot legally tow a good sized caravan.
The engine and drive train are capable.
The vehicle tare is adaquate but a smaller Isuzu MUX can out specisify this Prado's towing capacity.
Market strategist are apparent.
Owned two new but no more, much too silly for me..

We are very happy with our choice, very expensive, but worth it. Just fit another battery so it helps when the electricity is used. I used to carry small gas bottle in the car when we go camping, but not anymore when you have plug in switch build in. So we carry an electric frypan, and a kettle for a hot cuppa, and our rice cooker,,, Very good and smooth driving, lots of space for tall people like me, I'm 186cm tall. Very reliable, GPS, Phone satellite, I would recommend this to anyone if they ask me.

There are no surprises. The handling and mechanicals are good; maintenance bills are reasonable. Better off road than some other family 4WD.
All vehicles in its class are roomy and comfortable and give the driver a good view of the road.
Maybe the airconditioning could be more powerful for an Australian summer.

I've had nothing but trouble with this vehicle, steering/cabin vibration at above 90km from new, Toyota has tried to fix it for the past months, balancing the tyres, rotating each wheel, supposedly reversing the driveshaft, done due to a technical bulletin issued by Toyota in March 2016 for the new 2.8L. A steering damper was fitted as a last resort as these hide many sins. Still not fixed and seems I'm not alone. Now I am getting dash and engine bay rattles, most likely due to the constant vibration.
Not something you want to go though with a new car.
This is my first and last Prado.
