My sister owns the Getz and my Mom owns the Myvi.

Imho, get the Myvi. a better, more powerful, more quiet, more comfortable car and overall a better driving experience compared to the Getz.

can anyone give some opinions/thoughts/comments on a 2000-2002 Hyundai Trajet?

did a search on this thread and no results...

pls quote me when replying so i can get notified. thanks

thanks for the recommendations so far...

looking to buy a cheap MPV with a max of 2.0. inline 4 engine and automatic transmission to replace my wife's kenari as her daily driver as well as family trips (short n long distance). budget unsure yet as my money is tied up to furnishing the new house so the balance (of maybe 20-30k, hopefully) will be going into buying the MPV for cash... dun wan loan coz cant afford monthly installments for the next 35 years which is when i finish paying off my house hahahhaha

have a few considerations but all koreans. didnt know much about the trajet and couldnt find much info online...thats why i asked....but i did find some good and bad reviews.. so its a 50/50 thing...dad used to own one though... but have to wait til he gets back from overseas for his feedback n discuss with him (coz he said he might help topup, still depends)...one plus point (to me) about the trajet is that its a hyundai and i know a guy who used to do alot of hyundais until he joint-ventured with my friend and started doing alot more hondas... so i can send both my cars (which coincidentally will be a H and a H) to the same guy... the joint venture is jebon71 on mudah.my

the renault and fiat is, to me, even scarier than korean cars.... really no confidence in french cars at all. hahahahha....so totally not acceptable

kinda need something cheap to buy, run (fc etc) and maintain with good parts availability...better if have aftermarket/fake accesories oso. and must be comfortable... aircond must be really good.. roomy and good luggage space coz of baby stuff including stroller etc.

thinking of VERY long term use.

my other considerations:

- chevrolet nabira 1.8 (30-35k) / 2004-2006
* supposed to be good based on what ive read online, but ive also read online of people having issues with the coil plugs and computer box. computer box replacement alone is about rm5k (about the price of a haltech). might be isolated cases only though. still worries me.
* also smaller compared to other MPVs
* not sure about airconditioning.

- naza citra 2.0 (25-30k) / 2005-2006
* alot of it on the road so parts should be easy to get
* not sure about air conditioning
* dad also used to own this... told me its a good car but not to get it due to the very high fuel consumption.. and this is coming from a guy who owns n daily drives an e-class mercedes..

-kia carens 1.8 (20-25k) / 2002-2005
* exactly the same as the citra but its a 1.8 version. everything else is exactly the same (or looks like it)
* cant find much info about this car as its not that common on malaysian roads...i myself have only seen a few.
* not sure about air conditioning

Also found a 2001 Opel Zafira for RM19k. its the same exact car as the nabira just different badging (this car is being sold under many different brands)

theres also the 1999-2000 Nissan Serena... but this one is more like a van than an MPV with the spare tire being in the front engine compartment... so reject heh heh heh


i would personally prefer a 1.8 as i find its the best all rounder in terms of power, road tax, fc, etc etc. but hard to find except for the nabira/carens.

not really looking at the serena at all... hahahahha...but yeah... would be a good alternative if it comes down to it. being an SR20 is definitely a HUGE plus point.

nabira... mind telling the specialist workshop? and also wat was the issue with the car?

i do like the citra... i really feel its bang for buck...

anyway... gotta wait til daddy gets back from overseas to discuss more about this....if hes kind enough may be able to get a used exora...

anyone knows wats the FC difference between the CPS exora and the Exora turbo? a lil worried that the 1.6 CPS may be a lil underpowered to carry the heavy body and full load of passengers and luggage... especially up to genting... kinda need a car that can go EVERYWHERE

if only i saw ur post earlier... i wouldnt have bothered to send my wife's 2001 kenari to get the aircond repaired yesterday since ur planning on converting (a/c will be from the halfcut) and made a 10k offer to u...

but... i dont think ill be selling anytime soon.. maybe in 2-3 months time only....if u still havent found any in 2-3 months and still want one... drop me a PM..

or if i decide to sell earlier than expected... ill PM u

75k max....u can get a brand new exora bold. better buy than the alza due to the aircond vents on every row, much bigger boot space n bigger last row leg room

also the 1.6 turbo means u should be able to take the car with full load everywhere...even genting with minimal struggle..n long journeys would be fine as well.

alza only has aircond vents in front n smaller leg room n bootspace...
