My dad owned Biante since February, 2 days before CNY.

His only complaint is that the seat configuration is not good, (he previously own an innova). He said that innova is a bit wider than Biante, but i feel Biante is wider. And he is damn happy with the FC as compare to innova, can achieved about 12-14km/l highway and 9km/l in city drive, do mind that he is a heavy foot driver.

I drove his Biante once from Segamat to Kajang, much nicer to drive compare to innova. Comfort is there, handling is there, NVH is good, not really powerful but good enough to overtake car in kampung road.

Regarding the seat configuration, is there really no way to put the seats folded down (back rest folded down) ?

Also, from what i see, no cruise control is offered right? About the HU does it has USB input?

No both middle and last row cannot fold flat, if you need big space at the back, u need to push the middle and last row to the front most, creating empty space at the back...

No cruise control in Biante, only volume control at the steering wheel. Yes the HU comes with USB input which located in the glove box, it a PIONEER HU!

I suggest u test drive serena hybrid. It is a good car. Cruise control and automatic sliding doors.

Biante also got automatic sliding doors ma..

When cruise control is not for speeding, its for avoiding speeding tickets lol  tongue.gif
Oh....so we have to wait for M5 and Biante to be CBU first then only we can receive EEV benefits? How much reduction in price does EEV status gives u?

Just saw Nissan Serena seat configuration...wow...it flips sideways!

Another Q...does the HU comes with built in gps?
*
CBU, Biante is CBU, do you mean CKD?

Yea HU comes with Papago gps

If both rows can fold down until that extent...im happy enough....

the motorized sliding door can be activated by both drivers and passengers from inside/outside the car?
*
Yes, both row can fold until like that...
There is a button to open and close the sliding door at the driver side, can open and close the door from the remote key as well...

Biante last row also can push till the end to attach at the back door to create a very huge leg room for last row passenger, Mazda has an unknown reason limit the last row to sit attach at the back door by not allow the seat to be "click fix" on that position. But you can set it manually by using the clamp that was supply from them to fix it.

So the clamp is use to fix the last row seat to the end? The salesgirl din't explain to my dad! We keep wondering what that clamp for
