Toyota Estima

[Hamburger]

best estima to date has to be the ACR30 model. Rock solid and no niggling problems.

 

Get the aeras version if able to find one as this model is phasing out in few years time.

and to add....

 

the space of the third row of the new previa/estima is no where that of ACR30, due to the elevated floor board. You feel like squatting rather than sitting comfortably.

Just wondering if Toyota does a recall for fix the problem, what will happen to PI cars?

[Kangadrool]

If you go to onemotoring website to take a look, most of the Toyota models are under recall for steering issues.

for the past 6 months:

 

1 26 Mar 2013 MAZDA MAZDA6 On certain Mazda6 vehicles, in the DC-DC converter, the condenser on the electronic substrate may have been cracked, and it may potentially short-circuit.

2 15 Mar 2013 HONDA Stepwagon(PI), Odyssey(PI), Elysion(PI) The internal component of the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) modulator control unit may be damaged and causes the VSA unexpectedly to activate.

3 26 Feb 2013 MITSUBISHI ROSA(BE63DGRM/JP05), ROSA(BE63DJRM/JP05) On light duty truck and light duty bus for the below affected vehicle models, fuel pipe may have wrinkle at the connector area, which was produced during pipe manufacturing process. At the same time, tightening torque for this connector area may be too low.

4 25 Feb 2013 MERCEDES BENZ SLK,C,GLK,E Coupe, E, CL and S-Class The flange of the fuel filter may become leaky due to a faulty setting during the supplier's production process.

5 14 Feb 2013 B.M.W. 1 Series (E81, E82, E87 and E88), 3 Series (E90, E91, E92 and E93), X1 (E84), Z4 (E89) The plug-in contact of the battery-positive cable on the front power distributor (fitted behind the glove compartment) may be damaged by vehicle vibrations and therefore cause corrosion through rubbing in conjunction with a high current load. Damage to the plug-in contact may impair the power supply to the vehicle.

6 04 Feb 2013 KAWASAKI EJ800A A BEARING IN THE FUEL PUMP MAY WEAR AND CAUSE AN ABNORMAL NOISE BECAUSE OF INSUFFICIENT DURABILITY.

9 05 Dec 2012 PORSCHE 911 GT3 (997) Current market observation shows that the race track usage profile of many vehicles in the 911 model line now comes close to that of pure GT3 racing vehicles (e.g. GT3 Cup). The component stresses associated with race track use and competitive driving are much higher than for a sporty driving style on public roads.

10 15 Nov 2012 TOYOTA ALLEX (Parallel Imported), ALPHARD HYBRID (Parallel Imported), WILL VS (Parallel Imported), WISH (Parallel Importer), ISIS (Parallel Importer), COROLLA (Parallel Imported), PRIUS (Parallel Imported), RUNX (Parallel Importer) 1. The steering shaft system of the subject vehicles consists of a steering intermediate shaft assembly, steering sliding yoke sub assembly, and steering intermediate extension shaft assembly. Due to insufficient hardness of the extension shaft for the vehicle with electric power steering system, the splines which connect the extension shaft to the steering gear box may deform if the steering wheel is frequently and forcefully turned to the full-lock position while driving at a slow speed. 2. In the hybrid system of the subject vehicles, there is an electrically driven water pump assembly which circulates coolant through the hybrid components, including the inverter assembly, to provide cooling. There is a possibility that the coil wire of the electric motor installed in the water pump may have been scratched during the coiling manufacturing process at the supplier. *(Not all vehicles are affected by the above-mentioned recall items. For more information, please check with your vehicle dealer or importer)

May I know what is the most popular or sort after head unit for estima?

[Roadie]

I drove a rented Estima (2209 model) to Penang. 1600KM in 3 days with 7 adults.

Handled quite well. Good torque and engine never complained on NS highway at 150K/H with full load.

 

Quite spacious for the passengers but the handling is not so nice. Not really a driver's car but good for passengers.
