Often forgotten
- Luggage: when all seats are filled, boot space shrinks. For long trips, go one size up.
- Climbs: to Berastagi and Lake Toba, a diesel like the Innova Reborn has more power with a full load.
- Transmission: almost all vehicles are automatic; the Hiace and Elf are manual with a driver.
