My livina 1.8 is almost 3 years with 60000 km.

Pro
- smooth drive
- 1.8 good pickup from stop
- quiet, quite comfortable
- not rattling from dash till now
- fuel 10km/l city drive
- fastest I drive is 170 on highway, stable (but new tires)
- good for small family, 3rd row not bad.
- service every 10000km (rm 200 -rm400), but recently shoot up to Rm 800 (air filter, engine flush,  valve cleaner, bla. ..bla..) . But very nice and light to drive after the service.
- 2nd row bit cramp, I put baby seat on 2nd row, still another 2 kids can fit it.
- ample of space if 3rd row fold down

Cons
- slow acceleration during overtaking  (I use Overdrive to drop gear...get more pick up)

- aircond loose to proton, need 3rd-4th fan to get cold air to last row, but my kids rarely complain. I think still ok.

- with 3rd row seat up...almost no space for luggage.
- narrow body width (space less)

If u got big family or all big size..livina may bit cramp. If small size, it's a great car. My wife also like to drive it.

Previously I choose between exora/livina/innova/mazda 5. Exora bold reliability issue during 1st batch, mazda 5 offer same space with extra 50k (not worth), innova not bad...space is huge. I would consider Serena hybrid too, too bad it was not launch during my purchase of livina.

Go test drive. I recommend it. But 1.8 ya.
