genting = multiple lane

kampung road= 1 lane each way
try to overtake slow car will be a painful experience

Weight 1.3 tonnes like the Aruz. Will surely feel underpowered and fuel consumption quite high.

better spec maybe
better refinement ? Nope
better space? Nope , aruz n rush is kecik
better NVh ? nope

You cant go wrong with any Toyota car. It will be reliable and cheap to run.

Pauline sauce avanza launching in nov , indonesia

just wait wait and see see

i had avanza
innova
fortuner
exora

yes.. struggling, but still manageable la. dont so exaggerated .. lol

i see , u would love to let your whole family facing the dangerous oncoming vehicle altogether while the car provide poor acceleration

It's ugly, Better get freed,

For the price it is kinda small. Better take used Alza, more spareparts

you are mostly buying because you want the rear sliding doors on both side.

other within similar dimensions.... do not have that...which makes elderly going in/out easier, similar to accessing rear.

but that price already now have Serena and Biante having similar features...
I know Honda Freed has this, but their centre of gravity design is just poor...going through corners...with small wheels and factory suspension.


so, I wouldn't buy Sienta for the slightly better , but consider other in the market...
Nissan Serena s-Hybrid is good in my book of the lot , but it is also a 2.0 vs Sienta 1.5.

so, goes down to budget...service cost... new/used ....

then jut follow the slow vehicle for the right time to pass
Biar lambat asal selamat

If you know your car well you wont even try to do stupid things like simply cut out and face oncoming vehicles.

Dont act like rempit always cannot brake or always need to maintain high speed else something wrong

You have to know your car's capability well enough if you want to overtake other vehicles. And if it's dangerous, you just don't.

Don't drive recklessly like this 1.5l 7 seater car.

The 2.4l is prone to engine bearing and conrod failures in the Sorento. In fact every petrol engine in the Sorento are prone to failures regardless whether it is the GDI version or not. If you follow groups on Sorentos you'll know it isn't quite a bed of roses unless it's the diesel or the V6 variants.

I suggest you buy something else and avoid petrol powered Sorentos until there is a recall on that engine in Malaysia as it has been recalled many times in US for engine fires as well.

The purpose of this vehicle is to have a smaller and less cumbersome vehicle to transport persons in a wheelchair. Currently done by a Renault Kangoo, a Citroen Berlingo and Fiat Doblo. All of these vehicles are regular passenger car sized, low floor and have sliding doors on the side which made them ideal for a wheelchair ramp.

Currently the Doblo has 600k on it and is becoming a pain to maintain due to lack of parts.
The Kangoo has 400k on it and would need a new engine soon.
The Berlingo has 450k on it and will need maintenance and repairs done to it that would exceed its value.

Planning to replace all 3 of them with something newer and easier to maintain without breaking the bank account.

That Hiace is a bit too big as sometimes these vehicles go to hospitals, especially public hospitals that's an impossibility to find parking nearby and disabled parking lots are often either abused or occupied.



Interesting, it doesn't appear to be that big from the pictures.

Really? Thought usually Nissan year end is the time they'd throw price and give overtrade allowances. They've stopped that practice recently?

7 seater SUVs and midi-MPVs like the Avanza aren't comfortable as 7 seaters unless the +2 seats are occupied by pre-teen children. Also many of them when you use those seats then you lose a significant amount of cargo room.

I would love to buy another Kangoo, a true workhorse but too bad it isn't being sold any longer and used ones are quite tired examples now. Also later ones were only sold as panel vans.

That's definitely true but both of those lack the sliding doors.

The Freed is a good one too but newest ones would be more than 5 years old.


Definitely buying it for the sliding doors and also lower floor height.

Not too keen on the Serena due to the Jatco CVT and not too keen on that hybrid system.

seem like u know what u need n want.
+ T brand is stand for reliable so, what u worry now ? no others brand can provide this within this prices range ...

Kind of hate TCM marketing and package strategy, just like buy 1 burger free 1 burger at 2 burger price

Currently year end promotion for Serena (For non premium)

140,226 - (discount) + insurance

Discount 5k + 3 year or 100km warranty + 3 year 60,000km service package

Discount 7k + 3 year or 100km warranty

Discount 5k + 5 year warranty

Discount 3k + 5 year warrant + 3 year 60,000km service package

Trade in any car with 5k extra rebate/cashback -> I m thinking wana push one besi buruk Kia Citra to them or not

Agent said non-year end season will get less 2k discount, but based on my research, they discount all year round one, tipu one

Currently have 2 kid, avanza may fit my requirement but occasionally fetch 1 more adult, it is tough to put the baby car seat x2 and i m type person not keen to change car like change shirt, so probably straight get a bigger one drive at least 10 year

thanks man lucky i lurk around and ask around.. in this case i think I'll just settle with exora

I'm interested to know if there's any hidden issues with this car as surprisingly for a Toyota it didn't sell in big numbers.


Not that attractive a deal also.

In fact crazy to buy a hybrid with such a short warranty unless there's a separate battery warranty.

I'd probably wait till the Exora is replaced with that one designed by Geely.

No point buying an Exora as its just too antiquated a vehicle and in this day and age there's 0 reasons to buy a car that has as many niggling faults to it.

The Kangoo is a good work horse. It's a surprise that it has held up this long as the one we use is now 17 years old.

7 of them to be exact.

Serena is not a true hybrid car.
By right it should not use the word 'hybrid'
It only uses a bigger lorry battery to keep the rest of electronics running during stoppages when the petrol engine is cut off.
