I have a 2007 Prado VX. Just love the car but have to be honest...the service sucks. There is not point in waiting for the 2009 model...its the same except for the sticker at the sides. My suggestion...go for it. Plan your service appointments accordingly depending on the usuage of miles on road. The car is great and extremely popular in Doha. I even bought new accessories like, roof rails, back sensors and a LCD screen on the dash that includes DVD / MP3 / MP4 / Bluetooth / Aux in / USB / Navigation / etc...
