Friend looking for Toyota Sienta

[Civic6656]

Hi, a friend is looking for a brand new Toyota Sienta. I'm helping him find out the reliability of this car. Anywhere to get reviews about this car? Is there a Sienta club here in SG?

Any reliable PI to recommend are welcomed.

 

Thanks!

He used to drive a Sienta.

 

There is a thread on onemotoring.com.sg here on the Sienta:

Reliablility, mine 2 years old, zero problem. It's a Toyota JDM model built by japanese for the japanese consumer, so how bad can it be?

 

PI, lots, try Yuniku, Sunauto, etc.

its a bit of a risk to buy from PIs.

b4 your friend buy frm yuniku, better go register in sienta forum, look for the complaints made by member 'Yahoowish'.

 

after reading, then u consider want to buy frm them

But what about buying Toyota from more reputable PIs ... Richardo and this HK based dealer Richburg? Paying slightly more for a peace in mind.

Would like to seek advise, is this good buy? If like to drive for another 6 years, and any parts availability in local market?

Nope, don't buy this one. More worth to buy either the G model or the XLimited model, which comes with auto door and other features. The one in your link is the most basic X model which has nothing.

 

It's a PI car, so parts will need to indent from Toyota stockists.

No good. This model has no power door. Somemore that hu is a jdm hu, cannot recieve local channel. And the rims..... Need it say more.

[Eric211]

thanks for the advise, but the price range will be arround there...and limited from used car market

Let me explain how to see the specs of the toyota sienta when viewing:

 

If it doesn't come with passenger side power sliding door, don't buy!

 

If it come with passenger side power sliding door, look at the interior colour

 

If it is mostly Beech/some Grey colour, then it is the higest spec 'G' model. Another way to tell is the driver door handle have a small black rubber square button for the keyless lock/unlock.

 

If it is Black/Grey colour, then it is 'XLimited' model

hi sorry but why if dont have power sliding door dont buy??

It is a very personal choice thing. I am driving a X model which does not come with the power door but at least all Sienta sliding door do have the auto suction to lock the door for you.

 

The reason why I took the x Model because of Yellow colour, Xlimited only has 4 colour while G mocel is with all the high end spec which I do not need.

 

Given a choice I would have wish they have a Xlimited that is in Yellow but I am still happy with my ride.

 

Fantastic FC for a MPV even bit my my friend FREED FC on the same trip to Malaysia.

er my bro just got a white 2004 sienta, it has no auto sliding door but i don't think it has a auto suction to lock the door... its totally like van need to manually slide it. anyways to confirm if all sienta is suppose to have the auto suction thingy?

 

another thing is how to adjust the mirror?? find no button at the driver seat to adjust... is it manually push the mirror???
