I have been dealing with TT&TL (south and north) for the last three years with the maintenance of two Hiluxes (both now doing around 45,000km). I never had any complaints really from the drivers with respect to the quality of the service from TT&TL. Their service prices are no different to those from Massy Motors, Lifestyle Motors or SS&SL who I also deal with concerning other vehicles.

I've heard horror stories. I know personally of one instance where technicians were joyriding and crashed (write off) a car which was in for service. TTTL then gave the individual months of runaround before the problem was resolved. However that was a few years ago, so i understand if u say u have only good reviews and i guess all service companies would have their share of horror stories. but just knowing of that event I think after that i lost any trust or faith in that company.

GM weren’t kidding when they mentioned that they cut weight a lot so the car feels like a Corolla or Elantra. The top trim LTZ model is a joke compared to the premier model sold in the US. The rear bulb taillights is also a failure and the lack of rear AC vents again is disappointing. I truly expected more with the massive hype built up for that car honestly but I suppose GM did well to offer anything in Trinidad since this little twin island nation is a drop in the bucket for them. Test drive it and form your own opinion. For $210k it was a steal of a deal but I understand it’s now $235k? Someone please confirm. At that price they can keep it.

I have one of he new Cruze, it's a nice car, concerning the weight, to me it still has a nice euro feel while being lighter, less weight = better acceleration, better braking and better fuel economy, from a quarter tank it takes 110 with super to fill the tank, from what I know it's the only turbo model in that price range that can use super, as foe the rear ac vents, tbh I don't see the need for them as the ac system in the car on high is like a hurricane, I usually have it on the first setting which is enough for most situations, none of my backseat passengers ever complained or had to say ' turn up d ac ' I drive a lot and so gar he car is exceeding my expectations, I have the ltz model.

So far the 190hp turbo engine is pulling ok, the CVT is very silent and smooth, the AC is working fine and blows very cold air even in the hot mid-day sun. The suspension is not RAV4 soft but more on the firm and sporty side (like Mazda). Handling is very reassuring and confident for a SUV thanks in part to those very grippy Toyo 235 series tyres wrapped on 18” octopus styled rims. The fit and finish is amazing for this class and the features are awesome in particular the Honda Lane Watch, Driver Attention Monitor and Honda Agility Assist. The 8 speaker stereo is surprisingly good with nice tonal range and the leather feels premium. It has smart phone integration and a massive instrument cluster screen in full digital which can be customized. Finally those front LEDs are very bright, the distance the light itself travels and the wide range it captures - no unlit back road at night would be intimidating again. The remote start comes in handy to warm up the vehicle before driving off on a morning and you are able to close the windows and panoramic sunroof (a CRV first) with the remote as well. What we don’t like is that it doesn’t come with a sub or amp, door scuff/sill plates, rear cargo cover, paddle shifters, wireless cell phone charging, knee airbag, front camera, puddle lights, ventilated seats, lit vanity mirrors, Auto dimming rear view mirror and a roof rack. Given the price and overall features etc, It was worth it. For the accessories we did not get with the vehicle, luckily since the CRV is a global crossover and offered almost as the same spec as the NA version, a trip to Amazon took care of many items as opposed to ordering directly through Classic Motors which may prove to be a more expensive route. We shall update more as miles are racked up on it. So far so good in terms of the sale and customer service as well. We would be filling with premium despite the sales person mentioning that super is fine. The model we got is the 5-seater RVSi 2WD. The AWD model will arrive after Christmas and I am not sure if that version will have the extra seats to make it a 7-seater (similar to the Xtrail).

Sweeks, there is only one model right now which is the fully loaded 2wd 5 seater. Soon there would be an entry 2wd 5 seater fabric and a fully loaded awd. I’m not sure if the awd version is going to be 5 or 7 seater. Despite the short lived introductory price, all shipments are sold out and those that did not arrive yet sold out too.

I was beginning to think its a feature you can switch one side off given the frequency I am seeing those vehicles like that!!
