QUOTE(Jedi @ Mar 28 2021, 05:33 PM) x70 parts got issues waiting waiting waiting and its a proton batch, whatever innovation they keluar, its still a proton. Personal ego issues no pun intended. Reliability and maintenance of VW vs Mazda, I think Mazda is a tad better. + tiguan dont have all the safety features standard for 2020 car, the 3rd row is more narrow compared to my 2 options Very ugly, and no to korean cars. and fuel consumption is shit. Are you looking for Petrol or diesel variant? Petrol variant for Fortuner can be very bad. It is a 2ton ride. This post has been edited by Brotherjoe: Mar 28 2021, 06:34 PM

city driving, go for mazda, fortuner is for site access and rough terrain..the ladder frame is not comfortable, but damn rugged and safer in case of collision

QUOTE(LTZ @ Mar 28 2021, 04:50 PM) Ur mind like me....and I am thinking the same option now 😅😅 Never drive or ride with fortuner....some said too bumpy due to body on frame. If the ride is good I can consider that...downside is the head unit looks really aftermarket. CX8 if flagship only 6 seater... and headunit quite small Go test drive. Bring entire family with you. Those people that said bumpy are blanket comment from their past experience with body on frame. I've driven hilux fortuner pajero a lot of pickup truck, suvs and currently living with a truck find that new gen of body on frame is even more comfortable than prev gen sedans and SUV. Some body on frame truck is even more comfortable than a luxury sedan.

Tested both.
Fortuna -cheaper -better spec -4wd - looks like a tank and unrefined - interior looks lousy -drive like a Toyota
Mazda - better look both interior and exterior - more refined -better driving experience - more expensive -lower spec 2wd -3 row no aircond
Conclusion.
I would go for mazda.

QUOTE(Jedi @ Mar 28 2021, 04:48 PM)    vs    Mazda CX8 looks more 'atas', especially the high spec Nappa Leather Toyota Fortuner is sound atas, but interior a little let down. The 2021 I think is still good price wise. Which one to choose based on fuel consumption, Comfort (put baby car seat) for family if budget is about there for these two cars? Test drove D segment. Mazda 6 back no good for family 175cm above (hit the top), driving mechanics is good, feels atas without paying BMW, Mercedes pricing. Camry, comfort no need to say, but engine I think wait for Dynamic Force (if UMW bring in - since rumor at Q2 will release new D segment) Passat and Arteon out of the way - because of maintenance and reliability. If 7 seater suv u considering now, should put Santa fe as well. Test drove the fortuner underpower. I’ll consider if they bring in the 2.8 version like Thailand. My family own 2015 Santa Fe, nice ride and better driving feel. Personally I like that Santa Fe when compared the my mother X5. X5 high speed driving really unstable.

After 8 months of driving a 7 seater SUV, all I can say is these are strictly 5+2 seater vehicles. If regularly need to ferry 7 around get a Vellfire.
The better body on frame SUV is the Ford Everest. Much better comfort and refinement than the Fortuner.
C-segment 7 seater? C-sgment SUVs are best as a 5 seater. Honda got it right with that formula with the CR-V.
