New GL 1.8 vs Recond Toyota Wish 1.8 '07 which is around the same price, which one is a better buy?

Hi, for me, I will choose on livina cause it is new car comes with 3 warranty or 100km & service.
But both I do not have, just only booking my livina 1.8A last week ago.

Toyota wish looks more sport and branded name.
But Toyota spare parts is quite expansive so more with the car of the year right now.
Maybe after you buy and may have standby your pocket money in future for serving.
For that wish Aircon only infront of driver dash box.
Maybe there will be more cooler from infront only.
One more on Toyota wish quite pertro eater

Depend on you & what you like

I owned both cars. 2008 Nissan Grand Livina vs 2003 Toyota Wish (purchased brand new from Japan).

Advantages of the Toyota Wish
- much more spacious inside
- far far better fuel economy (15km/l vs about 11km/l on the GL)
- much better safety (6-star safety in Japan, available with 6-airbag option and stability control compared to developing countries only GL with no safety assessment)
- better internal design eg. arm rest, individually foldable 3rd row seats
- better build quality. After several years it's clear that the GL is a lower cost car
- interesting accessory options eg retrofit rear AC

Advantages of the Nissan Grand Livina
- brand new car with 3-year warranty
- cheaper

There were no major problems with either car that needed a warranty repair, can't comment on spare parts cost for either Toyota or Nissan. Sad to say though you can't say the same about reliability for recond cars (my Wish was brand new from Japan) so your mileage may vary.

The Nissan Grand Livina is a good car but the Wish is a better car in every way except price.

Test drove the Livina X-Gear OTA 82,800RM just now. First impression, the interior kinda meh, plain old, the nissan way with minimalism, feels lacking in technology, space is good, enough for a family of 5 to seat comfortably i guess.

On the road, the x-gear feels powerful with good acceleration, smooth gear change (unlike the crappy honda city), i did try accelerating fast then stomping on the brake, the abs and ebd did work, the car did not skid sideways, but not sure whether its the tyre or what, but the car did skid in front slightly then stop. Didnt drive to highway, but this baby reach 100km/h quite fast, and stable too, quite surprise to see the speed already reaching 100, as its too comfortable and stable. However, at high speed, the livina is quite floaty, the steering keep wobble slightly, the SA assures me it's the alignment problem, as they just got the car a few days ago.

Overall, the x-gear exceeds my expectation, i was expecting a sluggish mpv like vehicle, but this baby proved me wrong .

I went the Puchong branch and they free V-kool tinting but no discount.

You're right.

I have book the GL 1.8, but now still considering whether to buy the Impul Aerokit at RM1700 and the tonneau cover for RM500 or not. The aerokit seems nice but a bit ah beng sometimes look at it.. the cover for RM500 is bit too much but sadly dark tinted on the rear windows is not allowed...

Hi, can I asking something on GL can be auto folder side mirror? Thanks

have you check if the tonneau cover is the same color as the new interior (black) now? My SA said its supplied in the beige color ler..... so I didnt take it. I'm planning to just cover my cargo with a rubber mat and do max legal tint at the back.

If you use rubber mat, it will become more obvious, isn't it? Even max tinted with 50%, it is still visible to the outsider....

Well... at least can hide from direct view. but the main thing to cover would be laptop bags... I suppose if I fold up the seats.. still plenty of room to put a laptop bag at the back, the chair will hide it from view I guess.

my rear is tinted kao kao...very dark...

still waitin for my body kit after 2 mths....

Hi, can I ask for GL side mirror can be auto folding in & out from adjusted internal?

What body kit? Are you purchase together with you GL and they didn't fixed up for you and still need to wait the stock available?

Thanks
