Owner tests build quality of Toyota Fortuner by hammering it and ... (Cartoq)

The method he used to test the build quality of the Fortuner is not something which we will recommend.

People are nowadays concerned about the safety and build quality levels of a car before purchasing it, which has only become more prominent after various other locally-manufactured cars have started scoring five-star ratings in the Global NCAP crash tests. As a result, the door panel of the Fortuner gets a huge dent due to the impact of the kick. It is nothing but a foolish, self-harming move, which only added to the overall unnecessary repairing expense of the SUV. The man starts beating the hammer on various points of the door panel, due to which it gets deep scratches all over it. However, the method he used to test the build quality of the Fortuner is not something which we will recommend. As soon as the man comes closer to the Fortuner, he kicks the rear right door of the SUV, just to ‘test’ the build quality of the door panel.
