Akula Turbocharged August 30, 2010 Share August 30, 2010 (edited) Err, got consider Mazda 5...... For me an impt criteria for MPV is the sliding doors. Mz5 should be around the same price +/- of Stream/Wish...... But if you need to carry all the barang barang, e.g strollers etc, then these compact MPVs might not have enough boot space.

Ben5266 Supercharged August 30, 2010 Share August 30, 2010 I think all compact MPVs with 3 rows of seats share the same trait... Either you have a 3rd row or boot space... Hi I am driving Stream. Why I drive Stream? OK, it is for the family. Do you intend to have all your children sit on their car seat? Recommendation is YES. Stream, when sit 7 adults, there is no cargo space. But, if there are children on board, then there is space. For me, both kids sit on their booster and child seat in the middle row. The feet area is quite wide and deep for shopping bags. For your case, my suggestion will be, the eldest child will sit on the 3rd row with booster seat. Middle row, left and right side for baby seat and booster seat. The maid or your wife will sit in the middle to look after the two small one. Front passenger seat will be for your wife or maid. You still have some space for pram at the back with 7th seat down. If your child needs supervise, then your wife could sit on the 3rd row and use the front passenger seat as cargo space. Perhaps, need to compromise the pram a bit with a smaller size one. Your maid, get a smaller build one. Because, if she is sitting in the middle of middle row, a 1.6m frame will block your rear view. Also, it is quite narrow for the bump. This is one bad thing about stream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoonz 4th Gear August 30, 2010 Author Share August 30, 2010 the joy of having kid (not just the process of making ) cannot be measure by money. anyway, if i can afford my dream car i will be able to afford a lots of kids.

Akula Turbocharged August 30, 2010 Share August 30, 2010 Think the later gen Mz5 have 5 spd autos, FC might not be comparable to Wish/Stream, but dun think it will be Too Big a diff. good luck on your hunting...... Or perhaps more "leng men" models like toyota NOAH/VOXY/ISIS etc..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike1234 1st Gear August 30, 2010 Share August 30, 2010 Well, come to think of it... There's also Toyota Passo Sette ( aka Perodua Alza rebadge in Malaysia fitted wif older engine) 5 seater + 2 small seats In other words, its a small MPV.... 1.5l engine But its through PI (JDM) thus $$$$ [laugh] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
