[Sabian]

Still no PI selling the Serena or the Landy?

Nissan and Suzuki not a volume seller for PI thus I don't think it will be available as mass market model. Maybe can get PI to indent if you are really keen.

 

TC did mention some months ago that they are considering to bring in the new Serena, but no sound no shadow there after. I think they are now working on bringing in the e-Note instead as there are better potential to be a volume seller if they can get good CEVS rebate.

Wah... very nice car... 

 

 

Come across this Odyssey review while searching for facelift info. Err picture speaks a thousand words right?  

 

The height of this MPV is relatively low, no problem for our MSCP

 

So easy to enter the cabin with wide opening and low floor

 

Absolutely easy access to any part of the car via the aisle

 

Spacious and comfortable driver seat

 

Equally spacious front passenger seat which can be lay flat

 

Versatile 2nd row seat arrange to suit all your needs

 

Full size and raised bench seat in the 3rd row to accommodate whichever way you want to sit

 

Decent boot space even when the 3rd row is up

 

More space than you will need when the 3rd row are folded

Hahaha, I started this in 10 Nov 2015. My family was looking to replace 2 cars with COE expiring this year. A 7 seater MPV and a normal 5 seater car.

 

After going around, we ended with Mazada 5 for the MPV. Waiting for COE, should be soon I hope. Those who have made their selection good luck.

 

Now is the search for the other car. I still have a little time, 6 months to be exact. Keeping my finger cross and hope COE come tumbling down soon. Huat ah

wow...the odyssey looks comfy n really spacious wor....even wif a babe to show the space room.

 

Mz5 can compare? heard not as zippy n powerful when needed..

[Victor68]

Bro, odyssey is $140+ and M5 $110.of course if you go up the ladder to $180, more to choose.

 

M5 with 2.0 litre engine against other 1.5 should be better. my existing stream at 1,8 is also lacking in power but ok lah.

My situation is the same as you, but timing is different - probably worse off than you.

 

We were hoping to find a decent-priced MPV that suits our needs by end 15, but couldn't find any that really ticked all our boxes. In the end, just decided to make do with our Wish and renewed the COE last Jan when it was due. Got some major things to replace/fix, but it should still be significantly cheaper than getting a new ride, and we'll live with it as it's not going to be v often that we will need all three rows of seats, so squeeze a bit when we do...

 

Now also waiting for a Tucson to replace another car.

 

Had hoped for COE to tumble, but it was not to be. Looking at it, there might not be one coming any time soon. In any case, we couldn't wait anymore so bo-bian. Hope you will have better luck with the additional 6 mth.

Bro, Stream got VTEC!

 

I will renew. Very likely.

Sounds like it is time for those with 2 cars to renew

And most still needs 2 cars.

Good luck to us.

Renew also must see timing... I suay, had to pay 58k for renewal... 

 

at least i hope i've settled it for the next 9 yr...

same same here. Now is 

 

1. renew one, buy new one(most likely)

2. buy 2 new(more likely. compromise on budget and make/model)

3. buy used, buy new(not likely)

4. buy used, buy used(least likely)

5. Just buy 1 new(likely)

Hi All,

 

Need some help here to narrow down options for a 7 seater MPV/SUV. My dad is looking for a 7 seater car and he ask me go internet to search so have been doing that and seems like there are now many 7 setaers nowadays. Need help to narrow down to save time to travel down the showrooms and check out the cars. He has a list of requirements as per below.

 

1. Price to be below 120k(can stretch to 130k if it meets his requirements)

2. Prefer less than 2l car

3. Have boot space to fit 2 big luggage with all seats up(i doubt there is any but do let me know if there is)

4. seat configuration can seat 4 adults and 3 kids comfortably

 

Alternatively, i have heard of goods van being converted to passenger car such as the merc Vito and Citan van. Are there any other cheaper options and how different is the converted price compared to the original price?

With such criteria, i think your (father's) best bet would be the boxy MPVs, which are:

1. Mazda Biante
2. Toyota Triplets (Voxy, Noah, Esquire)
3. Honda Stepwagon
4. Nissan Serena

But only Biante is AD. The rest all PIs.

But all are 2.0L too, so not sure if still can accept.

But whether can fit 2 large luggages and still seat 4 adults + 3 kids comfortably, is very questionable. Even Ody, Sharan, Estima, Alphard, Vellfire, Elgrand, Grand Voyager, Viano, etc. also dunno can or not, and they are all bigger and more expensive.

I know Hyundai Starex can, but it is ridiculously expensive for a Hyundai.

3 and 4 can but 1 and 2 cannot

 

1 and 2 can but 3 and 4 cannot

Actually 2 big luggage is how big? 2 of my largest luggage can fit in the wish boot with all seats up but the third row must sit very straight up. Very uncomfortable for third row passengers. But my big luggage bags is not as big as other people's.

 

4 adults include driver?

At < 120k, Toyota wish and Mazda 5 would be safe choices as both from PI. Only negative is very dated design.

 

Kia Carens also fit the bill, just a little bit smaller.

 

If PI can be accepted, Honda Freed would be my number 1 choice. Last row has proper sitting position with legs bent at 90 degrees, not squatting.

how often do u need space for the 2 big luggage and 7 pax at the same time? if not often, suggest to get a Mazda 5 or Toyota Wish n fix a Thule roof box. The box is detachable n u can keep at home when not in use. Edited July 11, 2017 by Kzone
