-Bought a Starex in 2010. at that time no option either this brand new Starex or 2nd hand japanese mpv.

-Until now still running good

-Current mileage 260,xxx km

-No major part change, still using the same engine, injectors, radiators and transmission, etc

-Eventhough its big, it has one of the smallest turning radius, easier to maneuver definitely tighter than my E66 and XC90

-This mpv slightly hard setting (shocks) so if you driving less than 4 people, can feels slight bumpy, but put 4 or more people with luggage really makes the mpv stable

-Has no problem using new Euro 5 diesel (infact less vibration and felt torqier)

-Just dont use petronas diesel, most probably endup with clogged diesel filter (me kena twice) or worst case clogged injector

-If possible get newer than 2011, because this earlier model, SDAC were testing water, the spec slightly basic compared to newer model

what are the changes between pre-2011 and post-2011 versions apart from the grill on the 2014 versions ? also how reliable is the power doors for those premium or deluxe versions? also looking to get a used starex or a new stavic, though i prefer the earlier due to the 2.5l turbo diesel engine
