Me too find this exora good. however why u all compare it to g-livina/avanza/alza? if only b'cos similar $ range then u r getting the wrong pic.
I drive avanza,my colleague innova. He so "jealous" my avanza 'cos his innova simply too big for daily use. his wife intimidate by the size until no confidence to drive out.he has to travel along to work, carrying 6 fullsize empty chairs daily from Kajang to kl, 'cos his wife insist to swap his ori myvi. Only during weekend then may be the innova is filled. wat's d point ??
Avanza is shorter than iswara.Very practical to use as daily car. Excellent to go market/school, & sit full 7 if for short distance though long dist is a big no-no.but ask urself, how often u travel long dist with full 7??
Same goes to Inpira/vios/city & saga/viva. Not everybody want the size + features+ big cc even though similar price. Different cars for diff need.

Never buy/never used/never own/never know.
My colleague,he tot innova more proper mpv than avanza, which is very true in paper.He has 3 children + a maid+stay nearby parents/auntie/uncle so very good chance to fully use the seats, but well, end up who is enjoying more daily?i not say extra space is bad,i also not say avanza better than alza/livina,but buy wat u need frequently,not occasionally until bcome white elephant.

Bck to exora. y d compression ratio so low 1?I tot soft turbo no matter how soft still turbo ma so should be higher, eg12~13:1?if current true then no high compress oso can gv tis good toq, would be good 4 d engine longevity d. knapa??

oic. having read a bit on wiki,turbo already compress air b4 enter cylinder,so CR similar to NA,but with air/fuel compressed,right?so if the turbo spoilt,the exora will behave like normal 1.6?
actually no interest on turbo b4,but once testdrove d exora,interest grow very smooth & nice power it has.

d small radiator inside left bumper 4 turbo or cvt?noticed it has 2 fans too which is rare.
With the turbo min has to use semi oil,no more mineral?
