Owners do you have any problems with this car? Planning to buy but 2 airbags make me reconsider

CAR IS FOR DRIVE NOT HIT

better consider active safety than passive safety

A clear no. Read more and you'll find out that it is NOT a true hybrid.

True. But What about some numbty ramp you? I rather have a curtain airbag to land on rather than me head VS the window or the pillar.

At the moment thats not a lot of choice with that price range. The next level with 6 airbags is the Vellfire Hybrid. Very unfortunate you in Malaysia.

Heard from my friend, if u have more family member this car clearly not for you. have terrible pick up ferrying people, especially going uphill.

Not to forget with KL that is famous for flash flood.
If your 'Hybrid' system is damaged due to flood.
It is not covered by warranty.

My relative his Prius Hybrid cost 60k to fix and he regretted for getting a quotation from Toyota.
Now he have to pay for installment for a car that can't move.

He said he should had just set the car on fire at least he can get back his money.

if somebody ramp you sideways till airbags deployed, Its maybe a real strong msg that probably its time.......

Just kd

If ferrying 7 peoples, please tell your friend to turn the ECO mode off, this is really a no brainer to use ECo mode with 7 adults on board and going up hill. So far my colleague Serena Hybrid is very satisfy and the FC is pretty awesome, fully city drive can get around 11km/l while his previous Camry 2.0 only managed to get around 7km/l!

THIS IS WHAT I AM THINKING! But I'm not into Hybrid or Toyota actually. Maybe I can give a shot for Toyota

Gonna ferry 2 adults (including me) and 1 infant. And soon ferry 3 adults(including me) and 1 infant

Since you mention vellfire but not into toyota,what about the luxury Nissan Elgrand?
Or maybe a cheaper alternative hyundai starex royale

Elgrand is too expensive. Grand Starex only 2 airbags

Just get estima lo. Anyway,i think vellfire/starex is too big for 3 adults and 1 infant. unLess u are to going have a football team of kids.

Mazda Biante... but I think it only have 2 airbags as well

I think Estima is also too big. I need a Alza or Exora sized car with more than 2 airbags under 200k

2 airbags is a no

Buy car to drive not to hit is very stupid. That way no need insurance too, right? A safe car is a health/life insurance that works before you are injured/dead.

4 people only need MPV? Anyway, Peugeot 5008 (based on old Citroen C4 Picasso) and the all new Citroen C4 Grand Picasso. Thr C4 will be more comfortable (ride), more modern, a bit safer, better looking and very fuel saving (diesel), but also more expensive. If you don't mind getting an excuse for going to massage all the time then the VW Touran can be considered too, though it should offer less space.

For more space there is the Ford S-Max and the VW Sharan.

Honda Odyssey or Toyota Wish.

Current wish got more airbags i think

The newest Toyota Wish comes fully fitted with ten SRS airbags: dual front, front side, front, middle and rear curtain shield airbags.

How bout Exora Prime? Heard too much bad commments about Vw.

Wish got 8 airbags. But how about Honda Stream RSZ?

If you want more airbags and a new car with warranty and stuff, the choices I've listed are what you'll probably have to pick from. The Exora Prime has 2.

Personally I'd get the C4 Grand Picasso. The Sharan is overkill for you, I'd say that's between Estima and Alphard. You don't need that much.

Nice, torquey diesel engine with a regular 6 speed torque converter, so unlike VW and Ford no need to worry about DSG.

If you can wait I'd wait a bit to see if Citroen is going to CKD it, which should mean it gets EEV status and thus lower taxes, thus a lower price tag (currently at 190k).




There's a reason why this car is more or less _the_ family MPV in Europe.
