I was overtaken this morning by a
Tarago type vehicle that had a chrome 4WD badge on the lower left rear & a name that looked like ESTINA on the right side.
Definately a Toyota badge in the middle. No obvious increase in ground clearance,
though this thing was so overloaded that the rear tyres were all but flat & the lpg
tank seemed inches from the ground. It was only doing around 140k as
well.
No doubt the learned souls on this
forum can elaborate ? ....oldbaz.

ESTIMA ... a second-hand import from Japan more than likely.

Its a Japanese
grey import- Different specs levels are Lumina and Emina's.
In Aus its a
Tarago.. in others its a Estima or Previa.
2.2L turbo diesel 4WD or 2L petrol- 2WD and 4WD options.

never understood the point of these estina vehicles.
I'm not a people mover fan, but those with more than 3 kids need something.
For my money , in the same market is the jap import ( again ) Mitsubishi Delicia.
At least it's got some pajero running gear on underneath ( and the 2.8td )
I've seen one of these with a small lift and decent tyres on it on a high country track and while i reckon it would be slightly scary with a bit of a sideways lean happening , the owner was having a great time and going
places i really didnt think it would go.
He was very happy with it.
Cheers,
Dale
