which seat row u mean?

I'm surprise there is no manual version . Even Innova has manual version .

Maybe want to make it exclusive, n avanza or innova already have manual gbx option

1st and 2nd row of course, i dont expect much from the 3rd though. any comments?

Not sure but those doors are pull by a steel string which is similar to those used in bucycle break and it will be expose at the track when the doors are in close position. It will lock automatically when reach the sensor point but not sure how reliable is it..

Yes the one inside the IOI business center opposite the IOI mall.. the SA told me they only got 20 units to sell for this year.. as Indo factory can't cook with the demand in Indonesia so limited units will be available for other Asean countries..

The got a gray color unit available for test drive and and so far different handling as compare to my avanza but much stable and not bumpy.. you can feel the car is heavy.. the MID is good..

Sofa is so so but soft lah.. not sure whether the fabric will last but acceptable loh.. and you will found that at the driver seat side the carpet is very soft... feel like inside is empty.. the SA confirm that the mid row seat need to be back to its ori position before you are able to fold it completely and if half fold must put into seat upright position before able to fold it..there is a string to pull from the 3rd row also so the 3rd row seat people no need the mid row people help as to fold the seat

backside of the seat is very soft and empty just like my avanza.. but perhaps to make it lighter.. and the rear door cover is very soft also.. material use not even have any chipboard it it..but not a big problem.. just not too sure whether will those material last for 10 years??

If I recall, jdm version no rear aircon. Definitely a must to have rear air con for our hot weather.

I got the the test drive voucher also. $20 tng only. Going to msg SA for a test drive. I already plan to test drive this car.

i did ask about the voucher.. only after 26/8/2016 they started have it for all branches..

Test drives start on August 26th onwards, so they say. As for the voucher, can get during the sienta roadshow (by van).

So, they will give voucher to all branches as well?

yup, as what they said..

Toyota designers have gone mental.i thought vios dashboard was ugly and now this.they definitely don't follow the KISS principle (keep it simple stupid!)

Ok, noted. Hope I can test drive next weekend.

I noticed the seat height adjuster lever is plasticky and thin. Reminds me of the lever in Perodua cars.

it an ok still.. more compartment included chill box (just aircon went inside the box), i like more the dashboard in Honda Freed which using cafe concept..

didnt notice that.. coz too bz with my kids which so excited with the new car.. i test drive with my family, 2 kids 1 infants n my wife..

Finally got a chance to testdrive yesterday. Albeit a short session due to the queue for testdrive, my verdict is

"Nothing much to shout about but i love it!"

The engine is actually quite silent under idle, almost to the point where i wasnt sure if the car have started after i pushed the button. But the rear blower can be annoyingly noisy when moved to maximum setting.

Acceleration is expectedly so-so. Have to tekan the RPM to 4k above to get some power. being a casual driver like myself, it suits my driving style nicely. Maybe not suitable for those who want a racing mpv.

The transmission is silky smooth being a CVT.

But found a rather big bummer. The rear seats does not have arm rests on doors due to the sliding design. Might be a small matter for some, but found it awakward to not have a place to rest my arms at the back especially for my breastfeeding wife.

Anything else you guys noticed during tehe test drives?

on practical side it serves its purpose.just that artistically its horrendous

Just curious, did you get the tng card then for the test drive?

Good review.

Loud rear aircon? I thought the fix it with new avanza model (I'm making assumption sienta also would be "fixed") already coz older models like mine had this really loud front air con noise when max. Will need to check this out during test drive.
