AutoExec Summary

Despite its reputation, the 2023 Toyota HiLux SR5 falls short as a city car. While it excels in off-road and worksite environments, its size and lack of urban-friendly features make it cumbersome for inner-city life. Installing child seats, storing items in the rain, and maneuvering in tight spaces were challenging. On the plus side, it has reliable traction and some modern conveniences like Apple CarPlay. However, frequent servicing and high costs diminish its appeal. Ultimately, it’s better suited for rural or long-distance driving rather than urban commuting.

Brands mentioned: Toyota, Isuzu, Mitsubishi, Ford
