This channel is a holy grail of car information for petrolheads ! But enthusiasts know there was a channel called *talking cars* and they are waiting for legends to reunite … and they are still waiting…

ഇപ്പോൾ മലയാള സിനിമയിലെ താരം ഇവനാണ്.. ⚡

Still going strong after almost 25 years and 3 lakh+ kms First owner. Bought for around 4 lakhs.

Shocking delightful surprise എന്ന് തന്നെ പറയണം. സ്വന്തം കുഞ്ഞുങ്ങളെ നോക്കുന്ന പ്രാധാന്യത്തോടെ വാഹനം സൂക്ഷിച്ചിരുന്ന ഒരു വ്യക്തിയാണ് ഇതിൻ്റെ ആദ്യത്തെ ഉടമ. കുറഞ്ഞത് ഒന്നൊന്നര വർഷം മുമ്പ് വരെയും അദ്ദേഹത്തിൻ്റെ കയ്യിൽ തന്നെയായിരുന്നു ഇത്. Self driven, properly maintained as per schedule, absolutely no rough use. And if I'm not mistaken he is still a Toyota owner. So satisfying to note that this gem has found the perfect garage. Congrats and wish you a very satisfying experience with the car. Very happy for the car as well as for you ❤

Toyota is not just a brand, it's an emotion❤️

10 seater qualis ൽ ശബരിമലക്ക് പോയത് ഓർക്കുന്നു.. പിറകിലെ 4 പേർക്ക് ഇരിക്കാവുന്ന സ്ഥലത്ത് യാത്ര ചെയ്തിട്ടും നല്ല യാത്രാ സുഖം ആയിരുന്നു. ഡ്രൈവറിൻ്റെ ഒപ്പം 2 പേര്, മിഡിൽ ബെഞ്ച് സീറ്റിൽ 4 പേരും😂.. അന്നു പൈസ ലാഭിക്കാൻ ചെയ്തതാണ്... അതുവരെ സുമോ യില് ആയിരുന്നു ശബരിമല യാത്ര. പക്ഷേ 10 പേര് ഇരുന്നിട്ട് പോലും qualis nte comfort വേറെ ലെവൽ ആയിരുന്നു.. it deserves a proper tribute and JD is the most suitable person to offer the tribute... ❤❤

I still remember once my uncle who used own a qualis pre face-lift back in 2003 overtaking us and switching the rear wiper on to say "bye bye".. Good old days

ഓർമ വെച്ച കാലം മുതലേ വീട്ടിൽ ക്വാളിസ് ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു athinu ശേഷം ഇന്നോവ ഇപ്പോൾ ഹൈക്രോസ്സ്.. പക്ഷെ ക്വാളിസ് എപ്പോഴും മനസ്സിൽ ഒരു നൊസ്റ്റാൾജിയ ആണ്.. Fs ഉം Rs ഒറിജിനൽ പച്ച ക്വാളിസും അത് ഒരു വികാരം തന്നെയാണ് ❤️

I'm in love with your videos as a non Malayali. God bless all in Kerala who respect their older cars.

@25:18.... "diddly squat farm" 😃, glad to see you are honoring a legend 🤣

Thank you for the video. I owned a 2000 Qualis FS, a 2003 Qualis FS facelift, a 2006 Innova G, a 2009 Innova GX, and a 2012 Innova VX before we moved to the United States. I've always looked up to the facelifted Qualis RS, Limited Edition Anniversary, and Myst versions. When I recently visited Kerala, I brought back my Centy Toys Qualis diecast model, which I am now restoring to an RS model.

Very rare to find a well maintained stock condition Qualis like this. Big salute to JD for maintaining this as stock.

Tata Sumo was the car that started the MUV revolution..Qualis upped the game with comfort,quality and reliability..Both are legends ..

Seperate fan base for that പച്ച Qualis 💚

ശബരിമല യാത്രയെ പറ്റി താങ്കൾ പറഞ്ഞത് വളരെ കറക്റ്റ് ആണ്. ആ റൂട്ടിൽ ആണ് എന്റെ വീട്. വ്യത്യസ്തനാം ഒരു വണ്ടി എല്ലാവരുടെയും ശ്രദ്ധ ആകർഷിച്ചിരുന്നു. ശെരിക്കും ക്വാളിസ് അടക്കി വാണിരുന്നു ആ യാത്രകൾ. ട്രിബ്യൂട്ട് വീഡിയോ നന്നായിട്ടുണ്ട്. ഈ വണ്ടി ഇത്രയും കാലം ഈ കണ്ടീഷനിൽ സൂക്ഷിച്ച ഉടമയ്ക്ക് ഇരിക്കട്ടെ ഒരു സല്യൂട്ട്

രണ്ടു സിനിമയിൽ അഭിനയിച്ചു തിളങ്ങി നിൽക്കുന്ന സമയത്ത് തെന്നെ വീഡിയോ ചെയ്തത് വളരെ നന്നായി 👍🏻

My family have a 2004 Qualis G4 8 seater. Just renewed rc and fitness. Single owned driven mostly by me and my dad 20 yrs passed fitness till 2029. My entire family grew up in this coveted just 243000 km. Still starts and runs beautiful. And in perfect gun condition.There is nothing like it. Our other cars were used and sold. But Qualis it runs like a family member.

ഈ കാർ ഇങ്ങനെ സൂക്ഷിച്ചു കൊണ്ടുനടക്കുന്നതിന് സല്യൂട്ട്

Absolutely loved this tribute video of the Toyota Qualis! JD's presentation was spot on - his knowledge and passion for the car are truly impressive. It's clear he appreciates the timeless functionality and charm of older cars, and his enthusiasm made this video a joy to watch. Despite being discontinued in 2005, Qualis remains beloved for its durability. Kudos to JD for such an engaging and informative tribute! Keep going! ❤

Owned Myst Black....I still miss her. Soft Steering, clutch and brakes....super spacious....

Skip ചെയ്യാതെ 43.58minutes കണ്ടു. നല്ല അവതരണം. എനിക്ക് Qualis ഉണ്ട്. KLOI U7417...❤

Thanks for recommending the qualis to me when I was out hunting for an SUV. Picked it up in 2017, I was the third owner. Nothing comes close in utility, to this car. Fun to drive too

Even when qualis was stopped and replaced with innova , the model was so popular that lead to the birth of Sonalika Rhino😀😀

It’s an amazing car. I learned to drive in this car, and it was also my first car. It was a Qualis GS 8-Seater in Beige. As you mentioned in the video, the engine note is amazing, and the way it drives is equally impressive. The steering feels feather-light since it's hydraulic. We owned this car from 03-09 and drove almost 2L kms. I’d like to highlight the Toyota service center experience. It was truly exceptional, unlike any other dealership. They thoroughly inspect the car and provide detailed information about both minor and major repairs to be done. Importantly, they only commenced work after obtaining our approval. A big shout-out to JD for consistently delivering well-detailed presentations. Keep up the fantastic work! 🚗👍

We used to go to school in a Qualis, private school trip vehicle. The owner upgraded to Qualis from an Ambassador. It was during my KG and Std 1 days and my other friends who would come to school in Trekker and Tata Sumo used to be jealous of us. It was definitely a flex during my childhood. So many memories recollected while I'm watching this today after 20+ years, thank you JayD for coming up with this! ❤

My Dream daily car

This is why I love toyota ❤

ചെറുപ്പത്തിൽ mamente കല്യാണത്തിന് kayariyatha പണ്ട് തൊട്ടേ qualis ഇഷ്ടമാണ് 5 വയസ്സ് കാണും എനിക്ക് അന്ന് ചെറുപ്പം മുതൽ എനിക്ക് കാർ കളോടെ bayagara ഇഷ്ടമാണ്❤

One among the most waited content from this channel...and expecting many more contents from vehicles from 80es and 90es..

നല്ല അവതരണം. എല്ലാ പോയിന്റ്സും നല്ല വ്യക്തമായി പറഞ്ഞിട്ടുണ്ട്. വണ്ടി ഒരു രക്ഷേം ഇല്ല. അടിപൊളി. 🥰🥰

Hey everybody welcome to JD’s Garrage.. Qualis 🔥

I have a friend who had a Honda city 1.5 Type 2 and a Qualis. After a while they sold the Honda city and retained the Qualis for the longest time I know. This is 20 years back. And I was a hardcore Honda city fan.

Qualis was the choice vehicle of joint families during that time. Oru kalyanathinoo allengil oru family tripinnu ellarum together poyirunna vehicle. Oru 10 perkku sukhamayyi travel cheyyan pattum. Lots of memories travelling in Qualis taxis. Kudos JD to the way this is being maintained, mint condition. Great job.

4Runner owner❤driving comfort

This was a treat to watch and listen! Thank you JD for bringing in this unique style of presentation. The beautiful backdrop just make it a cherry on the cake 😍

Hi Jayd, I saw this beauty in pristine condition at the second hand showroom just one day before you took delivery. I was so keen to know more about it after hearing the engine note, and like you mentioned in the video, even I didn't know this one had a petrol engine. The salesman told me it was already sold. I was wondering who this tasteful gentleman was. The next day seeing his WhatsApp status I was so happy to see who took it, showed it to my brother also. A few weeks later we ended up getting the Altis GL (FL), and I can relate to a lot of things you said. I've always felt like it's the poor man's Crown 😂 (just my humble opinion). And the taillights have pink tinted reverse lights. My dad used to say Qualis had the best driving dynamics of all, no other car would match with it. I've never experienced the car, but my brother and I had two toys Qualis 😂 I had the pre-FL and my brother had the FL in red and champagne. I used to wonder why he got the better looking Qualis, but now I'm realising I had the GS T, like any other kid I've also tried to peel the graphics off.

This car is aged like fine wine, Kudos to you for superbly maintaining it ❤

2 qualis enikk സ്വന്തമായി ഉണ്ട് (Gabriel & Michael) കട്ട Qualis Fan❤❤

ഞാന്‍ ആദ്യമായി skip ചെയ്യാതെ മുഴുവനായും കണ്ട വീഡിയോ ഇതാണ്. 😅

Qualis was the first car I've ever seated And we still have it OG പച്ച ക്വാളിസ് never die

Superbb video...❤

This is what makes your posts unique JD. You have a unique skill of bringing gold nuggets out from the clutter and give the shine and value that it deserves. Absolutely stunning, fitting a legendary vehicle once common on Indian roads, purely for its service life and trust it rightfully earned.

It was a wonderful episode. Qualis is my childhood favorite vehicle, especially RS Variant. 😇

Great explanation on the history of Toyota, keep it up!

Loved your Qualis...❤

In 2004 I think, There was a limited edition called 'MYST ' which was available only in black colour (I believe) with golden color side graphics. 🔥 Anyday, Qualis is an emotion ❤ Thankyou JayD annaa for this informative content 🙏🏻👍🏻

Well done JD ! A fitting tribute to a true legend. You should start a Legend series.

My love with the qualis started from my 8th standard,The first driven MUV in my life,My entire thoughts about a MUV was literally changed when drove a Qualis

My first drive suv. ❤

This Qualis video reminded me of the Qualis which my Father has bought back in 2002/2003. We had a Bronze Qualis GS C2. I am actually searching for that vehicle, just to see the condition of the vehicle. You gave me the memories, Mr JD..❤❤

Thanks JD, the much awaited release!!

Quality video JD ❤❤

Absolutely loved it ❤️

Absolutely loving the content! Your driving commentary reminds me so much of the original Top Gear cast. The way you maintain eye contact with the camera while driving, especially with such ease, is something I always enjoy.

Nice video ❤

Learned driving on a pre face lift Qualis... Golden memories ❤️

Great Video...

“Its my pride and joy, my Qualis petrol Rs” what an intro 👌 Eagerly waiting for your Kingsway here. Kudos Jayd 🔥

I'm so glad you film these in such high quality with so much detail. people definitely will use your videos when evaluating cars they want to purchase. I wonder how much films and TV shows alter the desirability of these vehicles.

❤ Absolutely loved this episode ❤ Thank you

Jd is a gem in terms of car enthusiastic world

Wow, the video flew by! Didn't even realize it was 44 minutes long. Nice shirt too and the vandi is in immaculate condition.

Much loved❤

“Very nice video, JD. I was waiting for this video. In my childhood, I used to see a variant of the Qualis named Myst in my locality.”

dear jd been following your channel since day one, needless to say this is one of the best videos from your side. The passion for maintaining such cars comes out in your speech and presentation , Godspeed. If possible please bring back the talking cars channel .

Always waiting for JD’s Garage walk around video!!

Avesham😍 Manjummal boys😍😍

Very well said 👍 The one of the most loved vechicle 💞

Yet another stress buster episode for a enthusiast

Watching your video with complete detailing about the car and its history is always a joy and simply connecting to us 😍 Your presentation ❤❤

I have never come across such a great narration of the complete history of Qualis! Congratulations JD. Being a Qualis owner and enthusiast I have no problem vouching that I have never come across such a great Qualis master like you! I need to watch this episode several times to grasp all of it. The RS model you have is indeed a great car that it is kept almost in showroom condition after some twenty years! I have a similar experience like you that I found a well maintained diesel RS in 2015. I made it better in Autostarke and proudly own it till date. Again Congratulations to you on this fantastic episode!! Love your channel..❤️ PS: You missed one point, the RS Diesel had an optional factory fitted Bullbar option. My RS has it..

41:16 who else remember the same 'versa' story discussed in Talking cars😃 When JD tried to put some sand bags to adjust the horrible suspension of it😂 good old times...really need talking cars to make a come back❣

Classy as always

Nice video ❤ . I'm a fan of the pre facelift version. Those racing inspired decals were unique. Yellow foglamps were also seen in santro those days.

A great review to the great legend. The turning radius of qualis is good.

Manh what an immaculate condition car!! Kudos!!!❤my uncle had a prefacelift 10 seater qualis prolly that car was my stepping stone to love for toyota suvs❤ very comfy and reliable car.. this is the muv that most of the indians emotionally connected with.. still remembers jd maman's versa story on talking cars😂😂😂

Hi JD, You walked through the Awesome history of qualis. When i was younger i also liked this vehicle too much, now also interest on this vehicle remains the same. The best part is i went to the Toyota manufacturing unit in Bidadi for an interview, but my bad luck i was not selected.

Waiting for the next

Loved it❤️❤️

Very detailed and in-depth video of petrol qualis rs which is very rare as u mentioned. It was also a dream vehicle when I was a child. I still remember the tv ad which I liked the most, a green qualis rs. Bythe way ,this was a fantastic episode, Great presentation and video quality. My special hugs and thanks to JD for preserving this legend in immaculate condition.♥️♥️♥️♥️.

44 minutes of quality content❤

My fav youtube channel. Keep up the work bro♥️

I still remember getting into a Qualis for the first time. Got in, looked through the windshield and wowza! The sheer visibility had me going woah! Having driven only modern cars up untill that point, it actually took me a while to get used to the proximity of the front glass, the sheer visibility (തിരുവനന്തപുരം അജന്തയിലെ 70mm സ്ക്രീൻ പോലുണ്ട് എന്നാണ് പറഞ്ഞത്) and the overall command over the road! While the driving dynamics doesn't really align with my preferences, nothing beats a cruise in a Qualis with the windows rolled down on a chilly evening!

Most awaited episode and hats off to you to maintain this legend as such a brand new one ❤ happy motoring….@JD

I had the same exact fantasies about Qualis during my childhood…I used to drool when I see a Qualis on the road especially the black one…I did got a chance to travel in it but never driven one…someday I will get a chance…

Great video ❤

Truly enjoyed the video JayD..your expertise in this field is unmatched..the way you present, everything is a treat to watch..Qualis known for quality and service..nice to know that..what a gem of a vehicle it is.. Btw…JayD..your thoughts on getting a used Fiat Grande Punto 1.3MJD right now?? Always wanted a Fiat product in my garage..
