Old car vs new car..the answer very clear..
Estima after 5yr its 10yr old car
Serena after 5 yr its 5yr old car, furthermore u have 5 yr warranty..

Thanks for the reply..

paultan

LOL..u compare estima to serena?

2nd row sunshade is standard

Old car vs new car..the answer very clear-----yeah 140K for new car 160K for 5 years old car

Estima after 5yr its 10yr old car --------if a car is reliable and durable and less problematic, the 5 years different is acceptable for me.

Serena after 5 yr its 5yr old car, furthermore u have 5 yr warranty----------if the car is problematic, often need sent back factory like certain conti car, give 10 years warranty also useless.

The only problem with new serena is tcm rwmoved the useful magic seat----i m ok with it as i only need 7 seats, maximum. I more worried about TCM built's quality (since is CKD) and also the after sales service, been hearing quite some negative feedback from current owner.

yeah coz their price is kinda close (brand new serena vs 5 years recond estima)

u think is unfair to compare? mind to enlighten me?

hahaha..bro, usually people dont compare like that

if want apple to apple compare, its serena, biante, innova

estima is another class..

Compare with Honda Stepwgn or Toyota Voxy

They are same level but unfortunately those two brand didn’t import to Malaysia

Newest version of Stepwgn is 1.5 turbo, the rear boot door also can half open

Price in Hong Kong also similar

Was told there is no two tone red .. i like this color combo..

So those went to roadshow mind sharing the photos here? .. tq

The Nissan SA told me that the 360 camera cannot project to the headunit, only can project to the dashboard, anyone can confirm?

Like some of u said, we should compared apple to apple which is Honda Stepwagon or Toyota Voxy but too bad we dont have it here. I believe wenloong78 is looking for a 7 seater big mpv which have captain seats in the middle row, two sliding doors, reliable (therefore Japanese car) and budget around Rm150k. Well, i am also looking for it too. But currently there is no CKD or CBU which fits all these criteria except for the Nissan Serena unless we select a common older Recon car which is the Toyota Estima. Its more like comparing new car vs old recon car with one level higher. But even comparing between this two cars is not that easy to make a decision.

Nissan Serena C27:
Pros:
-5 years warranty
-Safer because have ESC and 6 airbags
-Save fuel due to hybrid technology, lighter weight and smaller tyre size.
-Intelligent Around Monitor with Intelligent Moving Object Detection (i believe is 360 degree cam)
-Hands Free dual power sliding door
-Alternative small boot door
-3rd row can easily get out of the car due to power sliding door opening switch
-Built-in sunshades in 2nd row
-7 usb powered ports

<I did not mentioned cons of Nissan serena coz is mainly the opposite of Toyota Estima Pros.>

Toyota Estima 2013:
Pros:
-More powerful due to 2.4 engine.
-Stable in highspeed or cornering
-Spacious and comfortable especially in the third row (Can fit three adults)
-More reliable (so far only heard issues that it depletes the engine oil faster when the engine gets older)
-Third row probably can fold flat

Main Cons:
-No warranty
-least priority or maybe no support for product recalls (eg. Takata airbag, Kobe steel scandal)
-No VSC and have only 2 airbags
-5 years car
-More expensive

Due to no VSC and it is a 5 years car, i would select the Nissan Serena C27. But if u compare it with Toyata Estima 2016, i maybe would consider the Toyota Estima 2016 but the price would be even higher.

From Paultan, they only mentioned two spec (Highway star and Premium Highway Star). They also highlight price is <Rm140k and <Rm155k. So can i assume Highway star is <Rm140k and Premium Highway Star is <Rm155k? I am confuse coz Glenmarie showroom and another SA mention there is one more low spec called ICE spec.

Yup. There is a small lcd next to your meter clusters...

Should be possible as I saw from Youtube, the HK model is able to project to both HU and the dashboard.

well said

estima, 3rd row is foldable as far as i know..

original Jap/HK spec is project to the mon. near the tachnometer.. reason being, driver can have all view at one glance at ur front.

If u wanna project to headunit, guess you can ask 3rd party play with the wiring (plug n play). HK spec Kenwood can do so, I think Msia spec Clarion can did the same too..

Some pics I managed to take... took it in a hurry coz SA rushing me all over the place...

i prefer to listen to media and what i see in physical

why SA rush u?

anyway..did u try the free massage
