Budget & Compact MPV

[Slonez]

Opel SE offered me below $85K for Zafira...

 

Other than MTA gearbox ( which is no issue for me ), it's a great bargain for a truly German made MPV!!!

 

 

but too long driving Opel liao.. wanna try other brand ride... like the 308SW but way over budget and smaller in size..

 

just sharing this info in case TS wanna consider this ride..

 

I think Zafira made in tom yam.

if you are a person who likes driving, consider the 2010 Ford Focus C-Max 1.6Turbo 140bhp (or 185bhp)...or if you need a larger body, wait for 2010 Ford S-Max 1.6Turbo 185bhp...

 

there's something with Ford that gives the driver that fun in driving and passengers that comforting ride...they'll be able to feel the road and bumps but in a comforting way...not jarring like in the Japanese...

hi everybody

I think Zafira made in tom yam.

That was the later batch of the former model (earlier batch came from germany), with production ended in 2005.

Thanks everyone for contributing to this thread. It has given me alot of insights into selecting/considering which MPV.

hi,

 

I am actually planning for used >=2.0l camry/cefiro for a comfortable trip up north. but now i might have to consider a MPV due to its seat capacity.

 

In terms of long trip up north, which MPV (odyssey, picnic etc) is the most comfortable?

 

thanks

The new Wish seem not bad

I would go for the oddessy - unless you are able to get hold of a grand voyager (I assume you are talking about renting right?)

80+k still budget meh?

 

Never found the FREED to my liking. IMO looks like a seahorse to me.

no, not rent, I am considering a used MPV.

I find 307SW is more an estate than an MPV. Try C4 grand picasso. It should be good with the new 1.6 turbo engine.

 

The C4 Grand Picasso is good; it's panoramic windscreen is a winner; and its vast glass area will keep ur family happy

Guess it still depends on your budget. MPV can range from the Sienta (<70k) to Alphard (130k).

[Ferraricalifornia]

but large glass area in the Citroen allows heat to enter right??

 

it really depends on individual needs...some like 5+2...some like proper luxurious 7-seats...you choose with your budget lor...

AD one is $80+k, which is indeed overpriced.

 

PI is selling around 70+k. Pretty budget. :)

I vote for grand picasso too, really quite nice.
