Which mid size MPV?

[Jerrygsr]

As my family is getting bigger, I need a mid size MPV for weekends. My family size now consist my wife, 2 kids, my helper and occasionally with my mum.

 

I'm considering the Honda Stream or the Mazda 5.

 

I like Honda Stream is because its a Honda and it is has the RSZ version

 

I like the Mazda 5 because of its a more practical car and its sliding door.

 

So which will u choose? 

 

And any drivers own these cars can share their views? Fuel consumption, Drive, maintainence?

Those 2 cars you mentioned, are already discontinued for sale in Singapore. Therefore, I presume you are seeking a resale car. If you can share your budget, then perhaps we can provide better advice.

I feel the Mazda 5 will be more spacious but will consume more in fuel. 

Instead of the Honda Stream (which is a really old model), I will consider the more recently discontinued Toyota Wish. They are almost similar in specs and size. It is also more economical to run, compared to the Mazda 5.

Toyota estima is your best bet.

I guess you are working within a specific budget, otherwise a new full size MPV like Odyssey would be a good consideration. Alternatively, a used Estima or used Odyssey may be second to good. But road tax and fuel consumption would be slightly higher than the two other models you mentioned. I drove 15 years of full size MPV when my children were younger and I had a 15 good years of usage.

 

If I have to limit to only the two models mentioned, Mazda 5 would be more practical in getting in and out of the car because of the sliding door. Fuel consumption of Mazda 5 is incremental, wont be very much higher than honda stream.
