But i do agree the last row seat can pretty much be removed because the leg room is suspiciously small judging from the picture posted. Well i guess they're only suitable for small kids but they grow up so fast! Need to think ahead also
*
on the contrary, the last row seats adult well enough... provided the second row do not adjust their seat as far as possible to the back...

In terms of performance, is a 1.5 good enough for this kind of car? Any similar car but with better engine that can carry the weight?
*
1.5L 3 rows seats.....i can only think of Alza (RM55k - RM65k), Avanza (RM70k - RM80k) & Rush (<RM110k) atm

too bad Daihatsu malaysia can't sell private vehicle, else their Gran Max oso can be considered, although it's a van (driver seats on engine bay)

i second your opinion..

alza 3rd row seat has less comfortable thigh support..even though the 2nd row is adjusted max to the front and resulting bigger legroom..but still it is less comfy..

for sienta, during my brief test,it excels in both thigh support n legroom..
*
yup... this is due to the higher seating positions than alza... and the third row even more comfortable compared to Wish & Stream

The current sienta was launched in Japan in June Last year and was available after that in Singapore, around july 2015... the previous model was launched in Japan in 2003.

Sienta is CBU from Japan?

Sienta Singapore = cbu Japan, gear stick on dash
Sienta Malaysia = cbu Indonesia, gear stick in between driver n front passenger seats

Can't wait for a side by side photo comparison with Alza... just a sizing comparison.

Oh by the way I just knew that new Alza got in dash gear shifter n kick brake...

Since the Sienta launch i visisted quite a number of showrooms that i happened to pass through especially during the last Raya break. (although it did annoy my wife a little  mega_shok.gif )

Was fortunate enough at one of the showrooms the Sienta was parked up beside the Avanza. Took some photos for comparison.

In terms of 3rd row leg room size. My height is 172cm, weight around 60kg (if it matters.. tongue.gif)

Yeah, what i meant was the sienta is not a small mpv as claimed by alot of those who have seen the car. But cant blame them because although it is technically bigger than an avanza, it does send an illusion of being smaller. Im still trying to figure out why,  laugh.gif
*
I thought they r the same. To me difference in +-50mm is negligible... and with matching wheelbase, they are of the same platform. Furthermore the silhouette is strikingly similar...

But alas... my choice still go to sienta.. bila la Mau angkat ni....

The key issue with freed was

1) of course the price
2) a six seater diesnt appeal much to those looking for an mpv
3) the last row folds to the side similar to fortuner, unpractical and you lose plenty of space

But what i liked about it was of course the middle row is actually as comfortable as the front seats. Appealing to malaysian buyers is actually a hard formula

Ya loh.. we r not a mature market like Japanese / amareka.. there plenty of choices

I wouldn't mind the new freed if Honda Malaysia offer 6 airbags and their usual safety features.

But I prefer Toyota customer service when servicing my car. Much more professional and efficient. This is from personal experience for both brands.
*
best if Sienta hv options for King & Queen seats / in dash shifter & kick brake. but then again, realistically speaking, this would made it prohibitively unpopular, as it would only seat 6 ppl....

considering that the previous freed was priced at 99k and 113k with far less features, i doubt that UMW are able to stuff anything more inside the car.  sad.gif

Honestly the pricing came out as  a surprise for me considering their normal pricing for their models
*
In Japan the price is ard yen 2,145, 000.. so the rm99k for type V is just nice


QUOTE(ftan @ Sep 19 2016, 07:39 PM)
I have no preference on the second row seats. Maybe because I'll be driving the car most of the time. biggrin.gif

For sure I will consider this car as 5+2 rather than a full 7 seater car.

When are u planning to buy?
*
Earliest is end this year.

Yup I look at it as a 5 + 2 as well. Got a fullsized mpv d. This gonna replace my wife's ride.
