The Verdict Like the girl next door, the Toyota Revo is certainly not for extroverts. However, if a lifelong commitment is in question, then there’s no denying that with its handsome details, great interior flexibility and the longest warranty, the Revo certainly makes an excellent choice. Careful, I can hear the wedding bells ringing already. Toyota Revo GLX 2.4 Diesel Like choosing how you’d want your coffee in Starbucks, picking the right Toyota Revo takes some serious thought. With a vast line-up of 12 different variants, what could be the best choice for a value-oriented everyday commuter that’s as painless to own as it is to drive? A good starting point would be the 727,000-peso 2.4-liter Diesel GLX. Though not as sporty and luxurious as the SR inside and out, the GLX is still some distance away from the mega-taxi crowd. Under the hood is a frugal 2.4-liter diesel with 86-horsepower. Though the power isn’t that much, the pulling strength is better than the smaller displacement SR thanks to the engine’s nature as well as the 5-speed manual. The GLX manages to nip around town with considerable ease, albeit in a noisy fashion. Like with most diesels, expect lower fuel bills and fewer trips to the pump. In terms of exterior looks, the GLX doesn’t have the same visual flair as the higher variants. However, front fog lamps and the license plate garnish still come as standard. Inside, it’s the same story, as it doesn’t have the bells-and-whistles of the SR. Nevertheless, it still contains the essentials such as high-quality fabric seats, an in-dash CD player, the revolutionary flexible seating system and even standard keyless entry with immobilizer. So, if you’re after a secondary workhorse of a car, which can handle the kids during the school run as well as sacks of rice for your side-line business, look no further than the Toyota Revo 2.4 GLX. |
