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

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 ?

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..

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.

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.

If u drive a maxime, means u don't mind to get the exora bold.

Exora is a nice car. However, it's an old model, they might change it soon.

I could not advice u, because we have different financial burden/capabilities.

However, fyi, im currently having subaru xv as my secondary, suzuki swift as my primary and proton inspira as my part time car (will let it go soon)  lol.

Compare chery maxime n exora bold, i think better exora bold..

Proton will launch all new Exora soon..
