Which one better if the price is about the same?

New Alza Advance ~ RM66k
2nd year 2013 VW Cross Touran ~ RM68k

my wife will be driving...
this car will mainly for our outstation long journey (mostly to melaka only)

very rare condition only we will have more than 5 ppl in the car....
the VW Cross Touran looks promising with the features, equipments & etc.
the Alza Adv looks nicer & its a New Car....


any sharing guys? need to decide between this 2....

Wait for the upcoming rebadge Suzuki Ertiga by Proton. Launching in Oct 2016

thanks dude... then i will have a look on it.

Touran gearbox and maintenance issue. Very expensive to maintain

Alza is good value for money and toyota engine powerful and smooth CVT.

Ertiga is pricey? Someone quoted price starts from RM76k ?

Alza where got CVT?It stil use 4 speed auto...Alza is adequate for you..Buying new gets you the peace of mind becoz of warranty..VW seems to have problem with aftersales service and pricey spare parts...

alza cvt?

hurmmmm

YOLO

OF COURE VW

It depends on your affordability.
If budget is not a concern then Touran is a good buy. If you don't have spare cash to standby for repair, then Alza is more suitable.

Alza n Cross Tauran maintenance is big difference.. not similar at all..
If u compare new alza n second hand grand livina then that's better..

if u r looking for image and status, go for VS Cross Touran
however, your pocket,..prepare for extra money to repair all the problems on the transmission/service cost

if u r looking for affordability in terms of maintenance etc, go for alza.


p/s: as for me, i wont choose both of it

There's a lot of other option out there.. find which u can maintain, not which u can buy..

P/s: as for me too, also not both.. ahaks..

Touran is cheap - for now. You need to look not at the purchase price at 68k, but the original price of 170k. Can you afford to maintain a 170k car? Periodic maintenance is of no issue, generally it's quite cheap, but wear and tear / ad hoc repairs might be a lot more trouble than it's worth.

im jetta owner.
and im also alza advance owner.

cross touran engine same with jetta. 160ps twincharge.
But i dont know why cross touran hv many issue. 2 of my friends using 2011 cross touran, both of them has change engine. one of them change clutch 3 times mileage below 100k.. I dont know why.

My jetta, no problem with engine so far. mileage 65k. only change clutch once because already feel judder..

If u ask me, better buy new alza. Eventhough crosstouran handling, engine an 7 speed dual clutch is powerful, but since u buy used car without warranty is a mistake. If the engine breakdown, the cost to rebuild if through SC is 28k (if im not mistaken).

But if u have alza, u need to invest to make a proper sound insulation because i think alza insulation is bad. The engine is so n so cannot compare with VW la. but still can maintain 140-160kmh on highway.

Logic dictates that at Rm76k, the pricing is smack the same as Proton Exora where this model is going to be on sale side by side.

Pricing a b segment mpv the same as c segment mpv by the same company is really stupid.

More like the pricing will be at rm65k max smack at Alza price.

Want the best of both worlds?
Exora Bold Turbo standard edition if you want new.
Unless you want to hunt for 1-2 years old , Exora Bold Premium edition.

Sorry to be off topic.
I drove this car all the way to Singapore and back (and once, to Melaka and back) , and it does its job well. Great car to run outstation, but downside is heavy FC when driven 100% in city driving.
