yup, totally enjoying it..
thanks bro.. nothing much actually.. just a roof monitor, yuma carpet red n black tone color, white LED for rear plate number, and hack player to see video while driving.. that's all

yup, the gauge meter seem not as funky as the car itself.. just normal optiron meter design, on this section Honda do a better job with blue n green illumination etc..

yes alza is longer by 35mm (around 3.5cm), but sienta is higher by 75mm (7.5cm)

n its about weight, at 1160kg for Alza while 1350kg for Sienta (V spec)

Hmm nice car coming from Toyota. For me before i'd probably go for Avanza for a 5 person family.

Although I'd prefer if the back door opens like front door. Making it a sliding door like a van would change the car to a different category and thus making the road tax more expensive. You guys know by how much?

roadtax is rm120 compare vios is rm90 while avanza only at rm70.. not much different and its only renew once a year.. just the insurance is different because its depend on its value..

website shows RM90 for Avanza 1.5 and RM120 for Sienta 1.5

I believe if the rear door is a normal door, it would lose almost all its appeal already

ops.. i wrote for avanza 1.3 which is rm70..

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?

Bro, I tested the last row with second row pull along to the max front, me 187cm can fit in last row... So I assume it should feel comfortable for 170cm ppl...
But I not sure how tall your kids is, maybe taller than me...

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..

Beginning to like this car more and more. Thanks for the feedback guys

Sienta 3row surely bigger than Alza. although the lenght of Alza is longer 35mm. But wheelbase size is the same.

What brand u install for the roof monitor? and how much to hack the player? will it void warranty?

yup... this is due to the higher seating positions than alza... and the third row even more comfortable compared to Wish & Stream

alza longer, but sienta is taller..
ask shorty, he has a lot of option depend on what u want for the roof monitor.. hack no wire cut being made, so warranty still valid..

had to agree with that coz already experience it once.. cramp for wish n stream, even more cramp for grand livina and alza.. while exora maybe still ok..

i've tested it for long distance.. quite an ok performance.. no trouble at all even for Karak hillclimb either from KL direction or Kuantan direction.. both direction can go uphill with ease eventho at that time full with baggage, 3 adult, 2 kids and 1 infant..

alza with 1.5 engine weight at 1150kg - 4 speed gbx - 2 airbag - 0-100km/h 11s?
sienta with 1.5 engine weight at 1350kg - CVT with 7 speed shiftmatic - 3 airbag - 0-100km/h in 11.9s (got the info from indon youtube video reviewing the sienta)

First accident of Sienta?
