No, just interested to find out more about this car, so I did join the Sienta Taiwan, Singapore and HK ground..

In fact some differences for the Sienta launch in different country.. i.e Taiwan version is something like Japanese version with 1.8 engine as they want to tackle for the Wish replacement market and lots of bodykits in HK and Taiwan.. doubt that those accessories and kits can be use in the Indonesia version..

The Indonesia Sienta will only be sold to Asean countries, i.e Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore(by Borneo Motor) and of coz Indonesia

I think the Indon version only differs from the Jap version in interior especially the gearlevel. As Indon needs to accomodate a manual gearbox for the country, it Toyota ID moves the gearlevel to traditional position, as well as the handbrake (JP version comes with foot operated handbrake, much like Alza). Other than that no big difference. Indon version does have +- gear shift as compare to the JP version (none).

And the best looking bodykits are from Modellista smile.gif brows.gif

Depends what you consider "better". 3 vs 8 airbags, 3 is better for your usage, sure. Like I said, safety is a priority for me in a MPV, especially my passengers.
Oh, release in 2009? In terms of tech Sienta better? What tech? I know the engine is not better. The Valvematic engine in the Wish is better in every way than the dual VVT-i in the Sienta.

FC? 1.5L vs 1.8L. Also, not necessary the 1.5L will be better than the Wish's valvematic. In town maybe, due to smaller displacement, on highways? I doubt so. Plus Wish got more power. So don't see how Sienta is "better".

Sienta is the best seller MPV, no doubt. For its price and category, sure. That's like saying Perodua Axia is better car than God Car, if not will not be the best selling car in Malaysia (silly justification)

The saving grace for Sienta is the power sliding doors. If those are a must have. If not I don't see how its better than the Wish.

Anyway, wishing you safe journey with your new Sienta, I think orange is pretty flashy color.

Not into so much of debate, on Wish vs Sienta.

But in term of safety, I always rate a car with VSC (less airbags) > non-VSC (more airbags) we need VSC to safe the car from losing control and avoid accident.

And is Wish fitted with VSC ? No right as it belongs to the older batch of Toyota models.

We're talking about the 2009 onwards Toyota Wish, not the model sold by UMW Toyota.
Wish is fitted with VSC. It also comes with a 7 speed super CVT for fuel economy. I think the Wish looks quite handsome, but alas, no power sliding doors. Personally I'd prefer power sliding doors for MPV, cause the whole idea of MPV is to haul people around right? Stop in front of the school, power door opens and your kids go off, and you can close the doors automatically from the driver's seat. Macam Vellfire.

I am not sure about the current model Wish , X spec or S spec. But as I am in Estima FB group, I know all Estima, even manufactured in 2015 do not have VSC. UNLESS the first owner in Japan picked that option when he/she buys the car there. So, I would say 99.5% of Estima on our soil do not have VSC. I thought the same is hapenning on WISH as well since Estima is one level higher than a Wish.

I once looked at Wish when I wanted to change my wife's Alza. But sat in one, and did not feel that the cars offer signifcantly more cabin space, as the larger size only seen in larger boot plus lower car height compromised the headroom at 3rd row. And my children are growing fast now that they hit >1.6m now, when I drive the MPV with oldies the 2 kids are going to be demoted to 3rd row. So, at the end go for a Estima. bangwall.gif

To me a proper MPV must have sliding doors, to save space on opening doors, and easy ingress. Must have proper headroom and leg room to accomodate a normal Malaysian adult 1.7 m at 3rd row. Not much selection with that.

Actually I tested Sienta 3rd row, with 2nd row push to front the knee space is still tight for me who is only 1.68, hmm.gif

Both well said...

Last weekend survey around tyt wish 2002. Not interested on X the spec (empty car Feel).
Was qouted full spec rm115K + 5.6K (reg & Insurance) = Rm120600. Not so worry abt warranty issue.

My dilemma here on choosing which should I buy. Personally i like Wish which the look and feel more elegance than Sienta. Sienta give me the feel like vios/city class or normal.

But my wife, kids and i were very tempted to Sienta sliding doors, meter got LCD menu and the recording AVR or gadget etc... Basically Sienta package give me less headache to addon accesories like AVR, tinting n etc...

Wish price to me is rm120600k + (1.5k Tinting) + 2k (Coating) + 3.5K (Carplay player+roofmonitor) + 3K (no. plate) + Rm700(AVR) = Rm131300
Sienta price rm98900 (after Discount) + 600 (Tinting double layer black) + 2K(coating) + 3.5K (Carplay player+rmonitor) + 3K (no Plate) =rm108000

Price different around rm23300 to me. Need to Loan 30K for 3yrs.

If i buy wish i need to lower my weekend spending and not much holiday trips for at least 3yrs. Kids n wife might not enjoy the lifestyles. After 3yrs only can enjoy lifestyles.

If buy Sienta, everything will remain same. No need installment. Monthly got xtra rm900++ saving from buying wish. Can stuck in many enrichment program for the kids. Downside is low engine CC and engine noise when floor pedal to cut lane which a bit stress to me.

Should i go for Sienta and wait another 10-12yrs round to buy a higher CC elengance car.
If were you, honestly which you prefer base on my situation...

Sienta if kids are still young, say below 8 yrs old. Then 5 yrs later when the eldest begin to grow tall, you need to look at full size MPV already smile.gif

Wish if your kids are still VERY young and you don't need to use the 3rd so frequent. And of course, your pocket is deeped.

Both should not suffer from bad resale value anyway.
