Looks could be very subjective. Very different approach from the two giants

Blue freed is the soon-to-be-launched freed.
White freed is the current freed.

Thanks for the feedback. Good reassurance.

Out of topic:
I read the new Honda Freed pictures were released. It looks good. I prefer this kind of look.

Any of the popular auto blogs (local or India, etc) will do. Leaked pictures should be coming from Honda Japan. Sorry can't give more details as this forum does not allow a certain local blog to be mentioned here.

I prefer the Honda freed design as it is taller and more spacious. Reminds me of a baby Honda Odyssey. But we are not sure if it will make a comeback to Malaysia. Next Honda mpv to look at would be the Honda brv.

Having said that, Toyota after sales service is much better based on my own personal experience with Honda, Toyota and Perodua. So, most likely I will stick with Toyota Sienta unless there is a similar mpv with better safety features launched.

Probably not. Or it may be like Honda Jazz. First launched above 100k. Then mia. Then 70k above. Let's see.
If you need the car now at this price and segment, get the sienta. If you want a walkway, try Nissan Serena. The  middle seat/arm rest thingy can slide to the front.

According to Indonesia spec, they will be no arm rest.  Which is a big let down. I really hope after market would come along and design one for sienta.

A Sample of the Grey color for those interested.

Do take note that the Indonesian type below has an extra chrome bar and different design. looks odd though

Yup the indonesian specs does seem to come with those skirtings as standard. Suddenly the grey looks good 😁

Think by the end of August as according to the SA, definitely will be later than 20 August

Saw from Toyota Malaysia Facebook page mention that they will have Fun road show from this weekend onward in various places.. hopefully they will put at least 1 Sienta car at 1U roadshow this weekend.

I had place the booking for silver as usual and dumb color but think easier to maintain.. the orange is something similar to the Subaru XV, unless you will park your car indoor most of the time or else after time, think the color will faded.. Whilst for the white color, as according to the SA, it is different from the current white in Malaysia Toyota as it is call Super White II and those current white in Malaysia Toyota car is call Super White I so maybe more glossy white perhaps..

depend on ur usage lo .... small family or full load guy (like me, too many outdoor hobby), i think this car suit me nice.
previously was thinking of trade in my old storm to old volvo Xc70 (2000 model,i like this car), but seem like this car more pratical

japan


indon n malaysia

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.

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.

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.
