Hi all,

I would like to buy a mpv car...seems there is so many type in the market i dont know which one to choose.
My budget is below RM100k if possible,low maintenance,low fuel,good interior and quality,sporty, powerful and got value.And the most important can fit adults and childrens coz i travel a long way back to my hometown.but if used everyday,a normal car is enough as i only have 2 children.

Please help!!!i would like to hear from those who drove this type of car.

PROTON EXORA - i dont have confident for it coz i have used 2 proton car before.Price RM6XXXX.

PERODUA ALZA - i like it but the space behind quite small and is only 1.5cc with VVTI.i dont think can support all the way back to my hometown.Price RM69XXX.

CHERY EASTER 2.0L - This is ok also,but consider it is made of china then less of confident.The interior not so nice and quality.Engine also ok 2.0L powerful and can carry the whole car.Cheap roadtax for big mpv...cheap price too onli RM79XXX.

MITSUBISHI GRANDIS - This really a good car,imported from Japan,nice interior and high quality and standard.Powerful with 2.4cc,the largest cc mpv.Everything is the best except for the price RM 162XXX.

TOYOTA WISH - I really like wish but now ppl selling car year made 2003,2005,2006,2007,2008.Is there any problem for this car.In year 2010 they selling 2005 2nd hand car or recond.When 2015,they will sell 2010 end hand car and recond too.Is already 5 years car...izzit worth the price RM105XXX(2005).I know this car jimat fuel,low maintenance,sporty and powerful too,but buying a 5 years car izzit ok?

TOYOTA AVANZA - this model also same like alza,but i prefer alza more as i like 'kereta rendah'.

HONDA FREED - This sure nice,automatic door,good interior,nice style but the most i dont like is only 6-seaters,middle empty.Price RM112XXX.

HONDA STREAM & HONDA ODDESSEY - my dream car,but really cant afford it.dont know why ppl cant but it...

nissan grand livina

Naza rondo. spec quite ok considering the price. Grand livina too..but highest spec is 1.8. rondo is 2.0.

see da poking budget. or u hav eye problem

@TS
toyota innova

how about INNOVA ?
but maybe the price a bit high side?
those imported car sure ok, its from japan n hv low mileage like 30-40k km only... the most hot selling is estima ler, dunno why, that vellfire n alphard r out of ur budget of course..
wish also nt bad, but at rear seat cant feel the aircon at all ler (i seat the last row last time), but it has good pick-up, i drive wish which it like a car, feel light to speeding...
EXORA dunno la bro, they said good, but dunno la...

Toyota ESTIMA GCR 50/55 2.4

my dad using innova for about 5 years till now

no major break down and can stuff abt 8~9 king size ppl

but INNOVA use van type chasis, that's why its higher compare WISH n ESTIMA...
estima even tho has 2.4cc engine, its FC it ok.. my uncle said rm80 from shah alam to terengganu (kuala terengganu) around 500km+.. but the downside its insurance sure high ler..

toyota isis


if i'm not mistaken, there are people clearing off stocks for around rm110k for brand new

nissan serena bro
been driving my dad's for 4 years and its still good
the 2006 highway star model that is
maintenance also very cheap
minyak like other mpv also and speed at 140ps its really really good
can fit 7-8 people
flip the back seat can also masuk computer table
hahahaha

Nissan Grand Livina, reliable, good quality, safety features are quite good, can sit 7 people, price fits your budget, etc

Lol

I would recommend Toyota Innova RM90k ~ 100k
depends on which spec u r taking

8 adults sitting inside no problem ( even the last row gt air cond vent also)

u dont want to consider nissan grand livina 1.8L? decent price and power

Try Toyota Caldina GT4. Even though its all reconditioned unit from Japan, you still can pick the ones that appeal the best to you. Its 2000cc 3S-GTE turbocharged engine is one of the best toyota engines. Very very powerful 4wd. More than 200bhp. Price around RM100k~120k.

Note: Caldina's body is very low. Stable on highway !

Get Honda Freed, eventhough only 1.5L but quite powerful compared to others. I think even more powerful than 1.6 CPS engine? Do consider Grand Livina. But 1.5L i-Vtec even almost better than the Grand Livina's 1.6.

See the specs, but you have to really go showroom to test it out to know. It is not all about power, consider other things.

for me i will choose honda stream rs but the price.....u know la...

See how you decide la, for Honda Stream, maybe you can buy 2 Exora and fetch more ppl. haha...

Added on May 3, 2010, 7:42 pmYeah, the Innova too. Sit on it before, super SPACIOUS, like a big aeroplane on the road. 2.0 too, the price also not bad. Add some bodykit, change rims and its good to go.

hey ts, u missed out Nissan Grand Livina and toyota rush.

grand livina is a not bad car and could fit nicely also the price is at about your budget.

toyota rush (7 seater) the highest spec cost u 95k but with its 1.5L, u might feel bit underpower, but yes, no problem traveling at 130+- (average) on highway with full load. tried that. but the last row there might have problem to fit adult on a LONG journey, but your kids definitely no problem. behind also got air-cond vent. not bad overall the car. also look like 4WD.

get a recond acu30

Suggesting Starex royale, though some might not agree.

bro, u know how to differentiate between station wagon and mpv? try stuffing 7 ppl in caldina

nissan grand livina or toyota innova suit ur budget....

i will recommend Toyota Wish cause as i know toyota engine is very low maintainese..
i not sure on wish..but i comfirm my vios.
Engine really tahan and rev until 6k also no problem..xD

I would suggest Chery Easter or Toyota Wish, for the elegant look and the powerful engine.

all the car in my house; proton, toyota, honda, perodua, nissan rev up to 7k and engine hardly give problem.. ur point is?

+1
u shud add innokom and atos all can rev up to 7k

Ya estima 2.4 the fc quite ok. drive estime 2.4 once in Swak..but the a bit sluggish la..heavy car.

Added on May 4, 2010, 8:20 amyeap..technically speaking, rush can be considered as mpv too since no 4wd system and taken straight from avanza. but the interior quality a bit bland..even nautica is better since nautica is cbu unit(but dont buy nautica..hehehe).

depends on the engine which is in the wish ....

Thanks for all the reply..i got consider Toyota innova but my husband dont like high car.Livina is in my list too, but i heard some ppl say that is underpower and not so sporty.

fyi,i travel from KUANTAN to PENANG each year.the journey takes about 10 hours if fast.Can u imagine how it feels if stuck in a sardine tin car with 4-5 adults and 2 kids?Thats y i need a good spec with a/cond at behind and enough space for the luagage too.

Thanks for all the details....how about chery easter 2.0L.

Can i know where to ask Honda ISIS?

i will not get honda freed as it is truly ugly.

If you want to save money and you want the space then exora is the one for you.

If you have the money and want some luxury then go for stream/caldina. Maintenance also expensive for these cars.

If you want the space and luxury go for Alphard or Starex.

I will not recommend cherry over exora as the space and power not that significant and problem you wil face is more or less the same.

I also will not recommend Avanza as it is yesterday item.

I just giving suggestion ma ... TS got say must fit 7-people mie caldina is 5 seater i know

Exora. But if not mistaken Exora turbo will come out at the end of this year/early next year.

Hi there,mind tell me where to look for it...i really like it...

Just wondering. where did u guys get that low maintenance/cheap spare part for honda/toyota. just my exp... the old city (2 past generation) vs old iswara...both year 90+ car. bumper price. city = 1k+ but iswara 100+ only. and that just the bumper price. not even include paint job.
i wonder bout wish/stream spare parts...

You kena cekik darah izit ?

below 100K? if u want big mpv under 100K, go for estima yr 2000-2002. but mostly under 100k r those 3000cc which means higher roadtax i think. or toyota ipsum 2.4 yr 06 sells below 90K. IPSUM

or other continental MPV such as peugoet 807, citroen c8 or fiat ulysse yr 04-06. can also look out for honda stream 2.0

or... naza ria if u can stand da FC n dated look

brand new under 100k wont give u a large mpv. among all, i think GL 1.8 is quite good n worth buying. need more headroom, exora.

how i wish that's the case. well, happy car shopping. dun believe 100% all these hearsay. test it urself. and go ask the spare-part shop urself.
believe me or not...older car spare-part way2 much expensize than the newer one. chop-shop gonna close door in 2 years time (2012 right?). and they'll capitalize kaw2 before they RIP

as per ur requirement...i'd go for exora...innova...livina. Woman/girl shouldnt buy 2nd hand car. just picture urself by the roadside wif family @ alone due to breakdown. just follow the car manual, u should be ok.

why need mpv if dont wan 7 seater rofl

Anyone can help me find TOYOTA ISIS??????????

I know is imported and not much ppl driving it too....i found its sped nice and good engine...

PLEASE HELP ME IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE TO GET IT FROM!!!!!

i found dy is at kajang.They selling Toyota isis and wish and edix too...but car manufacturer is 2005 brand new but the price RM123900.00 for 2.0cc.Engine all same with wish,D4 VVTi engine but brand new wish got 4 disc brake meanwhile isis got 2 disc brake only...
