Ok this may sound stupid, how do you open the rear doors, is it like the RX8? Open the front door and open from the inside?

I think there is a hidden handle on the frame of the door where its black in colour......very much like the rear doors on the alfa 156.....

Yes.. the door handle is on the door pillar hidden in black...

 

It looks and sounds like a silly idea at first... but after using it.. we find that the position is quite egonomic.... and natural since the door is heavy.. opening it in this way somehow makes it easier and lesser stress on the handle..

 

The door always puzzle the first timer...

Forget about the 3rd party filters, I say. You keep your throttle-body cleaner that way & also less chances of fouling up your MAF sensor ...

Wish I had more photos... but yesterday I went to Wihardja.. and got myself stacks of wood flooring, 2 set of stools and a big indoor rubber plant with big round vase that weighs like 30KG... plus one KDK standing fan.. all in with 5 passenger.. :)

 

Practical car to say the least... I'd say this is a kind of utility car that is part of your daily acitivities...

 

Agreed, it's more relax driving this car than my daily Opel Astra... but your Suby could be more powerful than this guy...

sad to say ... my scuby is TS impreza 1.6 version ....... 95hp and 143nm and weights 30kg heavy than roomy .... slow pick up but stable on highway due to its weight .....

 

some cars that i sat in ..for example .. toyota axio 1.5 ... when it reach 130km/hr ... the steering whell start to vibrate .. does it happen to roomy ??

I beg to differ... until you see itside by side.. it's different..

 

Diablo is bigger and more squarish... this is smaller in size and more rounded edge...

 

I think Roomy likes more "car" while the doblo more "van"...

I'm very happy with my Roomster.

 

Getting more and more smooth as it runs in.

 

Great on the expressways. Strange thing is once above triple digits speeds, can feel the car squat and become stable.

 

Like the faster u go, the more stable.

 

$$ well spend

 

For the same price, I think no Jap / Korean car comes close.
