   * The powerful 1.8 litre isuzu engine is more responsive.
   The radial tires are standard in many variants to get better action and performance
   * 2000 diesel is ok better select the TURBO version
   * 1500 is under powered try to avoid as much as possible
   :One strong reason to love is its Rear seat comfortable and its leg room.

   the interior is not as markable when compared to the morden era
   The design is still lags a lot

   ***now the amby too having sunroof,p.steering,p.windows,a/c
