I agree with you... have been driving Innova for the past 9 years with less problem and space is fantastic.
Best part is having 3 row air conditional
2nd row and 3 row seats can be adjustable
Comfort drive even long distance.
and High resell value.

Sad and regret to sold off my Innova.... am thinking to get the new 2017 Innova now !

Trust me .... it's worth your money !

No need to regret. Jus get the latest model innova. It is a big leap over the old one. If u like so much ABT d old model, u will certainly love the new one much more, with 6 speed auto, trendy interior, more comfort,.......

I was considering new innova or recon estima. New innova is more trendy and looks better now.
My concern is maintainance, not sure how estima parts and others. Maybe estima owner can share more about this.

Most common problem that I've been reading for estima is steering rack problem. Me also would like to know more on estima VS new Serena. Don't know kia will give a huge discount on the new grand carnival since it is recently launched.

Follow on new Innova X which come with pilot seat at second row.

If you want refinement, get Sienta or even Serena instead

i think new innova refinement comparable to altis or even camry.. the new design interior and exterior just feel premium bro.. while Sienta can see all plastic cover, while innova have a lot of soft touch and leather, Sienta dont offer in leather, need to install with 3rd party to get it..

Still ride on ancient body on frame RWD platform though.....ride and handle like a van/truck

haha.. did u test drive it yet?
even the previous model is not same with van/truck ride handling.. the new one you cant even imagine how the level of comfort come from that chassis.. what they write about it, its just not a word.. tried first then you know

Used to drive the first gen Innova.....bila start engine roar macam van lol

Yes, I test drive the 2.0G before, already fall in love with it. When the 2.0X come out with pilot seat, i even can't stop to think on it. 😍😍

do test it without any load ya...

drove previous model with 2 person only.. no issue lol, all smooth.. the only thing i didnt like its fuel consumption and how it looks.. the new one is a lot better car indeed..
different case with avanza, its really a van characteristic.. obvious one..

as for me not until that level.. comfort, small in dimension but big inside, fuel consumption, low maintenance and safety are my priority.. so innova previous model didnt make all my points..

Fuel consumption should be better than previous model (now is dual VVT-I).
Safety: now come with 7 airbags... I can only found this safety feature in Innova compare to Serena (2 airbags) and Biante (2 airbags).

Recently have check the new Mitsubishi Outlander
7 seater, 7 airbags, 4WD , Roof Rails, Rest Reminder, ISOFIX, PADDLE SHIFTERS...

Overall looks so good, but not sure the comfort level and the driving experience of this car. Anyone having this ?

Outlander is more SUV than MPV with 4WD features to bring 7 to some slightly off-beaten track.

However do note that the Mitsubishi's only aircon vents are on the dashboard, with none angled straight to the back. This could be a problem if the last row seats are regularly occupied.

You may refer back to the Innova club in LY forum. i did post up a few reply there.
so far with the weight compare to the FC, it reasonable.
on top of that, i nvr feel it under power at all. tried full force 8 pipol ride with some stuff....one word, awesome! everyone kena aircond sejuk kao kao~naik bukit a few round oready from auto to manual 6 speed control is just awesome as well.

recently i tried some hard core cornering (100kmh).....the VSC really help up! confident.

it a "poor man Alphad"......Worth it!!!

***but still, if toyota can design the fuel tank to 80liter will be the best!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because its SUV, comfort is lesser compare any MPV.. Estima i can say the best comfort level for MPV, spacious too..

but maintainance can be on higher side, with 2.4 engine, recond, 17-18 inch sport rims and many more.. i end up with Sienta with smaller engine and it size similar with Alza but much more spacious and premium.. Sienta is true poor man Alphard coz have power sliding door for V n G spec..

How come Biante and Serena S-HYBRID only come with 2 airbags lol?
Its a MPV, safety should be highest priority.. Sienta also have 3 airbag, but JDM version do come with 6 airbag..
