Ask Smithy Xtra overdrive button
Answered by Graham Smith · 10 May 2011

Get it up to speed to get into top gear, and then operate the button. You should see or hear the revs rise, or fall when the button is pressed again and the overdrive gear re-engaged.

People mover options
Answered by Graham Smith · 22 May 2003

Both are decent people movers. The Toyota Tarago was one of the first purpose-designed people movers, rather than a converted van, and as a result it had refined road manners more like a regular passenger car than a commercial vehicle. The Tarago's 2.4-litre, fuel-injected four-cylinder motor is adequate, but running it on LPG would take the edge off its performance. The Mitsubishi Starwagon also had decent road manners, but was based on a van. Its base engine was a 2.0-litre four and I would avoid that one. The optional 2.4-litre fuel-injected four is a better choice. My choice would be the Tarago, and you should be able to find a 1990-1994 model for $15,000.
