[Shern25]

Anyone has any latest news on when BM will bring in the new corolla to our shore?

[Enzomatrix]

feb? not sure changing ride ar? lol

[Booboon]

how does it look like?

[Tanjkp]

It is the China version Corola.

[Tyer]

I do recall it coming out around Feb. Maybe BM will give some discounts to clear the Tom Yam stock during CNY.

now having 2 children and another one coming out soon and just got a maid. now drving a vios. really need to get bigger car. considering wish or other mpv but i still prefer sedan and mpv is simply giving an option of 2 more seats or cargo but cannot have both. so does not makes sense to get mpv cos i need the boot space for baby tramp and other stuffs and to always need to fold down the back seats. the 2008 corolla will be 60mm wider than current altis and 10mm wider than the new civic. so getting the 2008 corolla will be a big upgrade from my vios in terms of size.

 

I think malaysia and thai released already. just curious of how the price will be like as compared to civic. i believe the ride comfort is one notch up higher than the new civic based on the review on the 2008 corolla and my ride experience in my friend's civic.

seems like you really need space.

 

an option is to go to the next category, the mit grandis at 80k plus or more seems to be well priced or you can get a used one at around 60k.

 

or if really on a budget the suzuki apv, fiat panorama or hyundai trajet.

 

6 people in a sedan car on a constant basis is no joke. - your fc most probably will be screwed by the weight and the revving of the engine anyway.

 

imho no point upgrading if it still does not serve your needs.

[Picanto]

correct. i doubt the new corollo will be much bigger than his current VIOS. better get a MPV or something bigger. if not, there will be regrets.

[Vicz]

Ayo, whats the point of changing ur ride back to sedan again if u want more space? does than mere increase really do a diff to u? i think u will regret after that man....

Get an MPV would be practical for ur case lah bro. Ya, Mit Grandis is reasonable. if not, Mazda 5 would be good too. My BIL has the same situation like u, now he realised that he made a wrong choice getting a sedan.

[Picanto]

must know that MPV petrol bill will be much higher than a sedan. if really going for a MPV, must make sure reallly can afford.

[Fabulous]

1 Grandis and Odessy not very fuel effecient leh..

2 Fuel price no sign of going down...

 

1 + 2 =

[Mzrmazda3]

I think a MPV would suit your needs instead of a sedan

 

6 persons squeezing inside a sedan is especially if you got kids

[Jl1500k]

upgrade to MPV is a better choice. Later need to ferry your parent how??

Go for Wish or Stream if got tight budget

why not honda EDIX that is a six seaters MPV. This MPV has enough passenger seat/room as well as boot space for your pram.

Why do you prefer sedan? Is it becos it has boot?

If you like sedan becos of its low CG and handling...i suggest u take stream,best of both world ....last row can fold single seat for pram and barang barang + ur maid

[Vicz]

Well, there must always be priority. there's no perfect things in life, its either this or that. Do u think Wish or stream really that that that fuel efficient when filled with people? besides the weight and the engine capacity bla bla bla, FC is really a thing of how u drive and where u travel.

I mean its a matter of need and ur requirement thats all....u want A, u get what A gives, u want B, u will of cos only get whatever B gives lor, its just whether it fulfill ur need.

[Auron]

no need to consider wish or stream. if all seats are up, your baby pram cannot go in. then u will be back to 5 seaters sedan.

get the EDIX if u can afford it. 6 seaters just nice. too bad i can't afford the edix, else would have gotten it.

Must see whether he's driving the new vios or prev gen vios.

If it's prev gen vios, any sedan/MPV will be an upgrade in space.

If it's new vios, probably only slightly smaller than corolla.
