Well.. a car with full of accessories and unused features to me is useless.. a car which give me a peace of mind without giving me problem or inconvenient is one that I want..

Car is to give me the convenient and safety for my family when traveling and other than this, just optional or secondary..

No offense.. just as long as a car suit your needs, you will happy to buy it..

If you are not interested on Sienta, not sure why you want to post any bad comment about this car here? Dont like it, just ignored it and walk away loh..

Thats NOT how forum works. DUH. Not sure why u join forum but expect +ve remarks on topics you favor.



btw,you are being defensive over "empty car" statements . Empty cars can mean LACKING SAFETY FEATURES .

good after sales and service?
spare parts availability
most workshop can repair toyota vehicle
durability of its parts

its not the most well equipped car, its not the best handling car, its not the cheapest car too.. but people far more concern about long term maintenance..
that 4 speed legendary gbx can last more then 20 years.. all u need to do just regularly change it oil..

Perhaps if you want to talk about other car than Sienta in this post, maybe you should just talk about it on other post..

Good to have the forumer to talk about the relevant topic in the right post ..

Just my two cents, no offence

Chill bros..

We are here to learn n share.. its not ours to judge..

yup, the advantages of forum is to gather info n knowledge from other people with different background level..
so with all that input, we can discuss it together.. toyota cant satisfy everyone, but certain group of people satisfied with it..

so chill, we discuss not to condemn.. we want to improve the thing we use everyday with what we have and as possible as we can..

this thing is hot in singapore. Looks like car made by bandai or BBurago

Yes,

It is.. I wonder why???
AFAIK Sgp want value for money [inclusive of status] - tats why the Mercedes sell very well there ..
How much does a Sienta cost 'down under' ?

Can give me example of "unused feature"?

Cruise Control, Paddle shift? I use them whenever I can

ABS+EBD+ESC - Use them daily as well

bro relax ... this is open forum, any comment is welcome, don't like it than ignore it lor

Yeah.... i think that's how forum work, we talk good and bad about this cars(in this thread).... But when i said this car 3rd rows is very small and not comfortable. Got ppl said want comfort then go to Toyota Alphard.... come on.... this is Sienta thread we talk about Sienta good and bad....why bring in Alphard? Why dun you bring in Ferrari and Lamborghini then?

My suggestion, if you just want good comment. Open a new thread call "Sienta Fans club". Then you should get all good comments and kick out those give bad comments.

Wow that escalated quickly...

Anyway, i believe different people/users will have different needs and tastes. For those looking for abundant space for seven, this is definitely not the car for you, nor are others that are within this price range.

The livina and avanza too does not provide much room, with the sienta being slightly longer and wider.
Other choices below 100k is the alza and exora with the latter definitely winning in terms of space and passenger comfort.

For those who love practicality, a little bit of tech and a generous safety feature list, who would drive for 5 with a large cargo space (for bulky strollers) and occasionally need the 7 seat mode, this is the perfect choice so far.

And yes, Toyota's reliability, after sales support is 'legendary' regardless of weather its true or not. And alot would sacrifice other factors to get this perceived 'ease of mind'

Still yet to place my order, would like to test drive and see how it looks in the many colors on the road.

HK have sienta hybrid which is 7k different and received a lot good review .... wondering when they bring in and would it be 50k extra ?

too expensive consider that 1.5 engine

if they bring it here n locally assemble, then the price may even cheaper..

Why? I've never owned a car with more than a 1.4 (except my first car, which was a 1.9, but that engine was lethargic). Unless you want to go speeding, 1.5 will be fine. Our Kangoo had a 1.4, no turbo, 75 hp. It was fine, even with 7 passengers and some luggage. Could it be faster? Sure. But for normal traffic? It's a people mover, not a racing car. The Sienta has 107 hp. It'll be fine. My current 1.4 has 140 hp, now I need to be gentle with the accelerator to not look like an idiot all the time

Doesn't seem viable unless they can CKD the car here. As UMW Toyota imports from Indonesia who also doesnt produce the hybrid variants for now, seems like it wont be an option for us.

Having a hybrid with a slight price premium would make it alot more interesting though..

By the way, Toyota FB seems to show that the media launch is today. No links yet though.Timing is shown as 11.10am


Noticed that the Indonesian Sienta has a different grill with more chrome. looks better?

Toyota do have a 1.8kCC Sienta version specifically for Taiwan market which they expect to replace Toyota Wish in Taiwan.. most of the Taiwan cabs are all Wish.. so since Wish stop production so they expect it will be replace by Sienta 1.8 by then

Today will have a FB live launch but still not sure when can I test drive the car.. cause Toyota FB mention need to wait till 26 Aug for test drive.. seen like the car delivery is rather slow..
