Bro.. still available for viewing at 1U?

Saw in FB that someone already have their Sienta, lucky them!

mmmm... its a practical small Family true mpv (really can fit 7 ppl unlike other small mpv that the rear row is uncomfortable for adult at rear) with goodies such as power sliding doors.

but i went for 3rd test drive with 6 adult averagely with weight 65kg, i felt the pinch.... maybe due to the small engine size v CVT .... just my personal problem....  overall its a perfect car below 100k. maybe is my problem.

Actually i looking for small size mpv & in fact most of the time only my wife , i & my son on the ride. very seldom go beyond 5 ppl.
now i looking at alza advance (which cost less rm30k) v about the same size (although the third row is less comfortable & no power door compare sienta) & same engine capacity . of cos toyota more reliable & higher quality. my own findings (to myself only), why spend extra rm30k just for a brand & powerdoors where the car also is more suitable for 5 seater ? sorry to all othera sienta lover if my comment offended you, as i said, thats my findings & conclusion that apply to my self.

i went test drive the alza & felt that the conventional auto gearbox deliver power more instance compared CVT (i knew CVT more comfortable & some said more reliable & powerful ). but i am user of 1st gen vios (1.5) & forte (2.0) where both also conventional autogear box, maybe due to this CVT gearbox behavior still temporary unacceptable for me. (again i repeat , this only apply to me, no offence)

i will still keep track on this thread as i not make final decision yet. currently alza/livina/mazda 5 (2nd) is on my list. ofcos exora is out of my list as i dont like the shape & i am bit of 'carcist'.

you know the fact that alza & avanza/rush use the identical Toyota 3SZ-VE engine right?

yes, i knew. then whats the extra point you want to hint me ? please share ... thank you.

this part

of cos toyota more reliable & higher quality

bro, that's i totally aware as i shared in my posts.

it doesn't make any sense then since both powerplants are Totota's

owner of sienta since yesterday..
yup, i agree with the conventional auto is faster response compare to CVT.. I myself also from vios 2nd gen, as for me paying extra rm30k isnt just for power sliding door and brand.. more to rear aircon, VSC (better safety), 3rd row which can accommodate adult, larger and practical space and toyota known reliability..

1st review of 1st long distance
getting 12.7km/l with odo 528km.. so its expected as it still very new.. speed average 120-140km/h from Karak to Kuala Terengganu..
the car is fully loaded with 3 adult, 2 kids (age 4 & 3), and infant (include baby car seat too).. accelerate with fully loaded quite slow but acceptable, RPM reach 5000 can hear the engine roaring while in hill climb at karak highway.. but once reach 120km/h can easily maintain the speed n ECO mode most of the time..
got ECO throttle mode too which u can see  how u accelerate but still in ECO mode..
[attachmentid=7499795]

while cruising at speed 120-130km/h, the RPM range from 2400rpm to 2600rpm for flat road.. when accelerate from 120km/h to 140km/h, the RPM goes to 3600rpm and the speed increase easily (maybe due to low coefficient of drag), and did try to maintain at 140km/h the RPM stay at 3000+rpm

the NVH is quite good, wind noise is hardly hear but the tyre noise is noticeable.. plan to do sound proofing at shorty place for the whole floor area..

as for Toyota Premium Tint, at morning when still no direct sun is ok.. but reaching noon, can feel my skin burn and the windows glass is quite hot.. so if u ask me if need to double layer tint or not, yes you should consider especially for long distance with family.. as for I will sure find the better tint for the car..

another thing to highlight, the wiper for sienta is very special.. length at 26 inch longest n shortest is 14 inch, the lock mechanism is the rarest.. similar to VW lock mechanism (as what as shorty claimed).. so not easy to find replacement other then original from Toyota (which could be really expensive just for normal rubber wiper)
even PIAA brand cant fit in.. haizz..

so that's all for 1st simple review.. more to come at future time.. enjoying the car currently.. for people like me (from sedan to MPV), its the first time to arrange the bag vertically as i cant do it while using vios last time... so need to familiar with this kind of arrangement start from today..

Owner's review please....  what type  /   color u choose? 

Congrats...

orange color, V spec..
