Just watch this today at sunway giza.

Exterior is like what we expected.

Interior dun really look good. Dashboard look cheap... Tried the car seat, driver seat just ok ok.... 2nd row seats not comfortable.... especially 3rd row seat... i feel like thick sponge only. My legs cramped when sat at 3rd row seat as well!!! Quite disappointed.... I dun think ppl will enjoy riding this car.

I unchecked this from my list.

Anyway got a free toyota plastic bottle when u go and check it out. Cheers.

Just curious. What other cars in your list?

how big are u?
r u sure not comfortable? i did sat on all the seat.. even the 3rd row still i can seat comfortably.. i tried at Setia City Mall today.. all seat can recline except for 3rd row cant move forward n back..
the driver seat got arm rest, which is good n i thought it doesn't have at first.. eventho this sienta u see from outside seriously similar size with alza.. but inside seriously spacious..
2nd row only good for 2 adults n 1 kid (age 12 n below), as for 3rd row 2 adults (weight around 80-90 with 170m) can sit fairly comfortably (did try me n my wife)

at the roadshow, i can see a lot of people impress with 3rd row which adult can sit there.. its totally different level compare with alza, grand livina n wish (which i had tried n quite small.. good for kids only) the 2nd row below seat space make space for legroom for 3rd row..

Have tried Suzuki Ertiga, Honda Mobilio. I have not seen the actual Sianta but maybe it is designed to cater typical market with huge population in which people do not consider adequate space- just be able to be people carrier, that is it. By sacrificing the size, more economic but not ergonomic, I think.

I'm not very big just normal asian size man. Yes, not comfortable, just told what i felt.... you might feel different but that's alright, "different flower into different eyes" right? LOL....
I didn't purposely open up my legs at the 3rd row seat to make myself comfortable becoz i want to give myself a real feeling about this car, but i feel so cramped at 3rd row. I got my bro and his gf tried on 3rd row as well, all don't feel comfortable for 3rd row, maybe kids will be better on 3rd row. The problem is the seat itself is not comfort(quality issue), with the limited space i don't think my family or frens will enjoy riding on this car(especially on 3rd row), neither short distance or long.

I think the good for LYF is to share good and bad, so no offence, if you think this car is comfortable then go for it, i just tell what i feel and not trying to stop any. I still think this is good value for Toyota 7 seater with this price tag. Just i prefer my passenger having a comfortable and joy ride with me that's why this is unchecked from my list.

Cheers bro.

None in the list now, any recommendation? I really think Sienta is should be the right car to me earlier.

I'd filtered Local brand..... Honda and Recond cars....

I have also unchecked Grand Livina, Toyota Innova and now Sienta..... RM100k +- budget what's else car to consider?

Guess not much choice now now.. unless you want to wait and wait just like people are waiting to upgrade their iphone or note or whatever.. to me just one car which fit my needs now will do..

waiting for the new car to arrive.. and just considering this is any upgrade from my 10 years old Avanza.. well .. think much better as compare to 10 years old style versus the new one now..

Guess it depending on how you value this car.. to me, its comfort level is better than my current car.. well even the 3rd row which think better sitting posture as compare to Axia or Bezza for long distance traveling.. I did drove my family of 8 persons from KL to Penang, Cameron, Ipoh without any issue.. wife and kids were sitting at the 3rd row which not so comfortable in Avanza but compare to Sienta, well I feel much better..

If you want comfort, guess you need to pay for it.. very easy just walk to the next Vellfire.. thats what we call comfort but not afford loh..

Yeah, this is definitely a good buy. Just not meet my expectation.

Yeah ofcoz better than Avanza, my family is now driving 10 year old Avanza too so looking for a change that's why we targeted to Sienta earlier.

We're not in the rush to change car, so we keep waiting.... lol.

Totally agreed with you. Comfort need extra $$. Comfort but not affordable.... LOL

Cheers bro, nice ride.

haih really funny reading comments about 3rd row... its a below 100k car...if u want comfort go for Alpard la... haihsszzzz

Great! Got a bro with same situation as me.. my car will turn 10 years by this year end.. also not rushing to change but just feel car is for convenient and lately just change the alternator(think cause by little flood) with toyota and repaint the whole car few years back also.. initially not thinking of changing but few months back air cond not cold being fool by stupid toyota technician saying this and that spoiled but at the end just a little plastic cap which they didn't install it back since my Feb car service with them.. so this make me feel like changing the car but now the car still rock as usual.. so thinking whether or not to hold on to take the new car until end of this year as I had booked it since end last month.

Avanza is a really tough car. Mine is 11 years already and still going strong with minimal maintenance. I don't see any point to change at the moment, maybe when it reach 15 years.

owh.. no problem.. its just a matter of taste, sure everyone different..

maybe because its design for asia n also the rear wheel drive is better at hauling people. because its push not pull like front wheel drive..

Also simple design with not so much electronics. A real no nonsense work horse which just keeps going.

Haha,

True .. if you really see no point.. but technically rear wheel drive is not efficient - what with transmission loss n extra weight..
Ever wonder why Alza sold well..

Lol. So many Avanza owners looking to switch/upgrade cars. I'm also owner but my car less older.

For mpv, not many choices left from your elimination list. You could up your budget and get Nissan Serena.

Test drive the sienta first and see if it's still in your strike-out list. I believe seat cushion can be made better (say install leather seats). Space wise still cramp for 7 ppl. Five people is just nice.

If I want 7 adults into my mpv, I'd go for Serena and biante.

alza sold well? with rear aircon sure beat myvi record.. hehe
