Odyssey - driver oriented, smallest among all, exclusivity (the least on the road i think).
Vell/Alphard - most spacious, comfortable, quite unstable at high speed, feels luxurious for certain variants (pilot seats, home theater etc)
estima - somewhere in between the other two. It can carry 7/8 easily with a huge amount of trunk (bigger than Alphard/vell), more planted on the road, decent fc.
There is no winner here. You can only opt for the best if you know your needs. Those mpvs are meant for different group of people. I personally lean towards the estima as it is quite fun to drive and practical at the same time. However i think the latest facelift of estima isn't really worth its price. Its only got a new look but everything else is pretty much the same. 2014 NFL estima is the best looking among all in my opinion. Market price is around 160-170k for 2014/15 premium.

QUOTE(mensa0106 @ Jun 17 2018, 04:22 PM) Wow..nice explanation..thanks bro, u helped me a lot..yeah, 2016 estima the new look price is quite high..from my view, it's not big different from previous model..few of my friends said estima faced many problems on the gearbox..thats worry me..2014 /15 premium models , I'll survey for it. Tq This really depends on your luck and how you choose your car. My dad's acr50 has been going strong for almost 4 years (made in 2012) without any major problems. Buying recon cars can be quite risky as you might be cheated by salesmen (confusing specs, tempered mileage, warranty issue etc.) The only way to overcome this is by bringing your trusted mechanic along. Check the car thoroughly and test drive to sense any problems. Make sure it wasn't abused before. Once you have gotten the right unit, maintain it well and trust me it can serve you for years. Good luck. |

QUOTE(ZeneticX @ Jun 17 2018, 11:16 PM) if you willing to move away from Japanese.... maybe take a look at the Grand Carnival? This is a a really good car. It is almost as comfortable as those Japanese mpvs and diesel engine is definitely a plus point. But being priced at almost the same as those Japanese recon, many tend to choose those recon due to its brand. |

QUOTE(amad108 @ Jun 18 2018, 07:34 AM) well TS, just get the car that fulfill your needs and also which design you like.. maintenance wise, on that price range maybe not so much different.. but with diesel engine you will get much more better performance with better fuel consumption.. that's all.. while other model either have better looking or VIP style or better handling for tight corners, but well this is family car right? who wanna whack the corner while bringing all family members with them? that Vellfire 2.4 model seriously underpowered, i did drove it in town with stop and go traffic make the fuel consumption even worst.. you need at least 3.0 V6 model.. I think u meant 3.5 v6 right? actually 2.4 is sufficient for city driving and long distances occasionally. The v6 is the thirsty one if being driven in the city but aces on highways. So if a lot in city and sometimes on highway - 2.4 if a lot of long distance travels - 3.5 v6 |

QUOTE(linuxskate @ Jun 24 2018, 07:47 PM) just want to share, my friend bought vellfire golden eyes ii 2.4 about 215k, but its recond. and he got 1 year warranty from the dealer. then my bro in law bought the new kia grand carnival 2.2 turbo diesel for about 160k, having drove and rode these two, i prefer the kia grand carnival since it has more pickup and more torque. and i feel its more comfortable and more spacious. plus its brand new with 5 years unlimited mileage warranty if im not mistaken, so u can have a peace of mind. with ur budget u can go for the full specs about 190k. but i recommend u to test drive both. Couldn't agree more. the 2.2 td in carnival beats the vellfire's 2.4 anytime. Maybe 3.5 v6 can match the turbo diesel but then it still loses in fuel consumption. |
