Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear July 29, 2010 Author Share July 29, 2010 we've also considered the Carens Elite.... but there's not much boot space left with 3 rows of seat up, and 3rd row only for 2 pax.... Trajet still makes better sense for my family.... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyrofillica 1st Gear July 29, 2010 Share July 29, 2010 most sites list as 14.7secs. but nobody drives a full size mpv and worries about 0-100. i would worry more about fuel costs if your dad uses it for his daily commute to work (1 person to and fro) but then again, it will still be cheaper than owning seperate cars.

Tt_hh 2nd Gear July 29, 2010 Share July 29, 2010 was previously driving a Tuscani...very reliable and very cheap to maintain.... FC also not bad for a 2L car. Den family expand....almot got a Trajet V6 2.7.... very cheap.... but loan not approved ...instead loan was approved for the Carens.... which is younger and more expensive.... Trajet is still on my mind....haiz....super spacious and value for $$..... Carens is also worth considering.....you'll be surprised with the interior space....but still no fight for Trajet...

Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear July 29, 2010 Author Share July 29, 2010 no lah.... Carens unless have 'Elite' model on used car market, comes with electric driver seat, auto headlight and wipers, climatic air-con, etc.... the normal Carens not worth the buy, and i don't really like the looks.... the interior sure is spacious for 7pax, and power enough.... but boot space is almost non-existent with all 7seats up, as i said earlier.... Trajet about the same price too, and much larger, so ya.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verve 1st Gear July 29, 2010 Share July 29, 2010 how about a secondhand estima or if cheaper mitsubishi grandis instead, it makes more sense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear July 29, 2010 Author Share July 29, 2010 no lah, Grandis don't make the cut in interior space (most important at this point).... 3rd row only for 2 pax also.... the quality is CMI for me and my family.... and the 2.4L engine, drinks fuel too apparently.... Estima is like akin to buying van liao.... my family also considering getting a PA bus.... haha.... [laugh] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear July 29, 2010 Author Share July 29, 2010 the Grandis interior space like the current Wish leah (in my opinion and family accordance).... not good enough.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

5936 1st Gear July 29, 2010 Share July 29, 2010 Only this part of region called MPV, it is called mini-van in international market. So MPV = minivan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear July 29, 2010 Author Share July 29, 2010 some MPV like the Alphard and Estima are van lah.... no hiding away from that.... i think its either the Trajet or PA Bus for my family now.... haha.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear July 30, 2010 Author Share July 30, 2010 i managed to sit in a Used Trajet today.... the height of the seats are quite low leah, and 2nd row seats are quite lacking in legroom.... and entrance to 3rd row is quite poor....just a small gap to the 3rd row??? but overall, can squeeze 8 at a pinch, quality is outstanding (in the durable sense).... but if i get this car, most probably will remove 1 middle row seat to ease access to the 3rd row.... then liddat Trajet 7-seater, a bit pointless for me....

Just take note that PA minibus needs 2.0m height clearance for MSCP. So you must plan where you want to park before going for any outing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zafira18 1st Gear July 30, 2010 Share July 30, 2010 My trajet just cross 6 yrs old this month and mileage coming to 190k . This car never service from agent after 10k mark. Beside normal wear n tear, 3 times timming belt change, still a reliable workhorse. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
