I checked di, all the interest is same from the bank. he difference is the number of year you loan and the amount.
Eg: 60k 7yrs = 2.85%
60k 5yrs = 2.88%
60k 9 yrs = 2.83%

peet, my father 33 years old ford escort gt 1.3 twin choke webber carburator boot closed with nice thud than a vios or even camry. So, does it counts? :-). Even my fathers neighbour own 1963 merc has better thud sound when closing the boot than my father's ford, n even better than japs premium cars.
If u say germans marque, european counter parts, i have to say yes, but if with japs, aiyoo, it is the same. Even closing door sound the same. The thing that we closed, the sound not only depend on how much rubber or how much sound insulation u put inside it, it also depend on vacuum level of the car, the wind resistant n etc. Diff cars has diff design. Sometimes even some top marques has cheap scale sound when closing the door@boot, thats why they started to use auto hidrolick door or boot, just push the button,it closed on its own. Thats why freed swing door feel premium n never ever hears and old van closing sound due to that. But if u have to close it manually,it is the same maa...so, there is price to pay.
Something to ponder,If compare estima 20 years, why not compare it with avanza, innova n wish currently? They suppose done better coz estima already 20 years. Is it really hard for toyota to make it sound better @ no sound at all after 20 years? Hua...hua....

How do you expect a MPV boot to close? My Kangoo also bangs loud when you just let the thing drop, and IIRC a Touran isn't much different either. Just find the right technique to close the thing... for me it's lowering it until maybe 10 cm left, then pull up slightly, immediately letting go/pushing down a bit to close. Then the sound is ok, not too loud, and it's properly locked.

Unless they install a hydraulic system or electric motors to close the boot I doubt there is a lot they can do.

Hey, I have heard some people say 4AT is an advantage... proven tech, won't go wrong, easy to maintain. laugh.gif

Yup this is usually what i do when i closing boot. nod.gif

Just did the test drive this evening, as have been said by others, it really is amazinngg rclxms.gif Felt really good and much better than my brother's avanza, which is very light and too simple for the same price.

The guy suggest me to change the tyre to 17" for better even better handling and road grip. It will look physically better as well. Gonna trade in my savvy 06 for exora prime. biggrin.gif

Really? Cornering should be improved I thought, unless the rims are so big that the suspension can not keep up with uneven roads anymore. However FC, performance and comfort will suffer. I'd stay with stock... I mean it's not a sports car. biggrin.gif

it will ruin handling actually
u want better cornering...get sport spring/abs...harder is much better for cornering but comfort suffer
bigger rim also affect FC and comfort as well
they made it with a certain size of rim for a reason..so better dn't change it
bigger rim just looks cool only actually
plus...its a MPV...why u need to corner so hard..hahaha

My brother bought the avanza early this year around 75k, 1.5. Use drum brake at the back. And he always has problems to overtake, so when i ride with him we only go for middle or left lane blush.gif Right lane later kena highlight tongue.gif

The guy suggest me to change to 215/45/r17. He said that is just the right size.

Hmm, somehow when the guy explain about the whole tyre things, and how wide tyres have more grip and can brake better seems to make sense sweat.gif But now im not sure anymore. And kept pointing out also how most BMW and Merz have big and wide tyres for that reason.

Maybe the stock tyre is the best to go. Need to do more research

Wider tyre does improve grip and stability, at the expense of weight and fc. They are also friggin expensive.

yes...WIDER tyres(not bigger) does provide more grip..yes..like BMW...their tyres very wide
for the safe side...just go for the better tyres enough already
get something like continental CC5..or better

As long as the rims are bigger FC and performance will be worse as far as I know. That's what a friend reported... though he also changed to wider ones.
Wider tyres hurt grip when it is wet though, don't they? Also the performance will be reduced. You won't feel it so bad when you have a 300 hp BMW, but an Exora Bold isn't that overpowered. smile.gif

I'd stay with the stock size (or go for smaller ones) and change to better tyres instead.

The Kangoo also only has drum brakes at the back, but it still brakes ok. Performance... when kick down it's ok lah, unless you want to go over 110. It does go faster than 110, but it will take it's sweet time... laugh.gif

I think you can apply for loan without the stock, but to prepare the documents for the signing the stock must be ready (Need car specs and chassis number). Maybe that's why vinorgouki waited 2 weeks after loan approved also not yet sign, because the car has not arrive yet.
