if you really looking for cheapest and good (can't guarantee it is the best), then I suggest you get Toyota Sienta. I think it is really the cheapest compact MPV around. FC wise I think it is the best in this category.

 

Disclaimer: I am also driving a Sienta.

Is Sienta sliding auto like Freed? I am quite impress with Freed auto door though. Seem like Sienta is the choice to go. :)

Yes, Sienta have auto sliding door and suction door

 

But do take note, there are 4 models of Sientas

 

With Auto dooor -> XLimited and G

 

Without Auto door -> X and XS

 

So dont order the wrong model from your PI

 

And also, like Freed, Sienta auto door standard is only on the passenger side, but if you can wait, there are some PIs that can indent Sientas with both sides auto doors direct from Toyota because Toyota have this as a factory addon option but need to top up money. U just need to find the right PI that can indent this. Do not trust any PI that tell u u buy first and they can fix the auto door for you locally in Singapore.

Sienta from Japan?

 

I saw the spec for freed from indo. so not so interested liao.

Freed look stylish while sienta looks sort of like van . Kangoo

 

still end of the day should go for a sienta

[Ferraricalifornia]

sliding doors are really useful for our tight parking spaces....

 

if you want a dignified and graceful ingress and eggress,

 

sliding doors for your passengers is the way to go....

 

i'd recommend the Freed or 2nd hand Sienta 1.5G (the only model in the Sienta lineup to have twin electric power doors) though.....

Sliding doors also great for loading bulky items into the car. Bicycles and the occasional As-Is from Ikea!

[Ferraricalifornia]

sliding doors are a must for me next car....

 

the parking spaces are getting ridiculously smaller in MSCP especially....

 

the other day i saw some people repainting the lines in the carpark,

 

previously there was 10 lots in a row....

 

now they made it 11....

 

so you can imagine how narrow the carparks are now???

 

scary....

[El3mummy]

wow. 10 lots become 11 !!!!!

[Karu]

VW Touran will be even better... low cc... powerful!!!

PI's Freed will have slightly better FC compared to KM's Freed as JDM Freed is using CVT.

[BrandonChin]

[Ferraricalifornia]
