Looking for a good value compact MPV, with lower cost of ownership.
anything extra is a bonus.
so far i know

both are
CBU : high quality assured
turbo-boost: pickup and fuel economy doesn't differ much

Exterior:
Don't really care but Pug looks more elegant

Interior:
Pug has leather seats but VW seems more comfortable
Equipment list Pug is more but seems more prone to faults?


any further helpful comments?
about reliability of brand?
after sales service?

i think in terms of car performance, s-max is definitely tops. however, i do not like its 'bubble' like shape.
the price is also quite high.
furthermore, SDAC is quite notorious for their bad service.

despite being a better car, peugeot 5008 is handicapped by NASIM.
so most probably similan will choose the Cross Touran.

Can live without the bluetooth headrest, leather seats, etc but cannot live with the car sitting in the workshop while NASIM technicians take their own sweet time.

was seriously considering estima, but paying 170k ++ for a 2006 (5 year car) w/out warranty is insane!
