Once a cartoon about Funtik and mistressBelladonna spent several weeks in a row on Soviet television, and the image of a kind and obedient pig sucked into the brains of those who watched it. When the Japanese company Toyota launched an advertising company of the new model with the slogan "Fun - Car - Go", which can be translated as a "hilarious driving car" or "Fans - the car - drove!", It was also not without healthy humor, but clearly not intertwined with the image of a kind, hard-working pig. And in Russia it is intertwined. And the Japanese car Toyota Funcargo, which we have chosen summer residents, stalls and other business people, nicknamed Funtikom.
Toyota Funcargo is a compact almost minivan,created on the platform of the model Vitz (we are better known as the Toyota Yaris), was made for young people who love group tours or non-economic economic inclinations. Its profile with a slightly extended front end, a massive front bumper and a high minivan rear part easily stands out among cars in general and among "classmates" in particular. Moreover, the wheelbase of Toyota Funcargo is extended by 130 mm in length in comparison with the Vitz design. Memorable and characteristic for this machine is the dashboard unit, taken out to the middle of the torpedo. Such a design is close in spirit to Russian owners as if offering: follow the road, not speed - it will come out cheaper. In general, the cabin is comfortable, spacious, raised front seats and folding rear.
The main task of Funtik, after the ability to comfortablytransport passengers and household goods, is the ability to economically handle the purse of the owner, reducing his fuel costs. The leader in this task is the engine with the VVT-i system. The cubature of an engine of 1.3 liters, or 1.5 liters, determines the Toyota Funcargo's power characteristics of 87 or 110 horsepower, respectively, and therefore, the ability to overtake other "economic" machines, or not "compete with this," and quietly transport cargo and people. And, as the owners of Funtiki quite rightly note, the presence of an engine of less cubic capacity does not help to improve the economy of the car, since it makes it more often to use the gas pedal to perform the tasks identical with the "small-caliber colleague".
In terms of Toyota performanceFuncargo, reviews of owners from Russia and CIS countries, mainly, respect for this trouble-free "workaholic". The owners of the Funtics know that there is a repair of the suspension, but most of them know this by hearsay. And not everyone knows about the repair of engines and hearsay. True, some complain about the rigidity of the suspension of such a car, overcome only by a heavy load. Also lament that in all-wheel drive models, owners do not understand when and why both axles are connected.
In general, Toyota Funcargo is a car,which, if you have the inclinations of an economic and economical person, is able to complete your re-education in this direction. Moreover, depriving the owner of such a car of ordinary and almost daily car worries, such as: "something was pounding in the suspension" or "tomorrow frost - how to get a job?"
