Anyone here own a Toyota Sienta?

How's the car holding up? Worth buying 2nd hand?

Practical like Honda freed. But I hardly see a lot of them today compared to 6 years ago.

Mpv to angkat brg for biz or personal family use?

there isn't a lot of it on the road right now

Coz its....




Ugly?

good to move things and people around urban area, 2nd hand value holds up really well...practical with T badge.

A friend of mine sold his Hyundai Matrix for a Sienta.

Best decision ever according to him.

Personally tho, i'd go for the Mazda Biante if i'm in the market for a small MPV.

Sienta stop selling in malaysia officially liawww....

now maybe thru grey imports or 2nd hand car dealer only.

not sure

years back, sienta is actually more than toyota camry
that time i barely even see anyone bought the new camry

right now i saw more camry than sienta(although both also rare)

Biante harge bape bos. Mahal kot.

140-160k rite?

its a cold car

Alza size, sliding door, nice folding seat. More 30k thab Alza. U want?

inside got too much hard plastic. also not enough cubby holes, similar to vios during it's time

practical and affordable 6 seater

but dont expect anything other than practical

sienta is a cheaper version of alphard. macam abang adik vios with altis.

I was surprised when I sat in one last time (Grabcar) that I can forgive it's looks

Dey

It look 'special' lah







Ohwai

rare car .

hope can find spare parts.

BUSINEss race wont buy coz got word ‘sien’

Business tarak ong nanti


Am i doing it rite?

the 3rd row surprisingly quite sittable

Not really, alphard/vellfire < estima < noah/nav1/voxy < sienta

This one haven't include truck chassis rush/innova/avanza

Headroom maciem no enough.

TOPup ckit dapat porsche taycan

estima not sliding door mah.

for its price. very good. but ugly la.

Lolwat

Estima slide lah

Normally I heard Innova is cheaper version of alphard. so called poor man alphard..
https://www.wapcar.my/news/poor-mans-alphar...-malaysia-21106
https://www.bangkokpost.com/auto/news/11462...or-mans-alphard

If Sienta cheaper abang adik alphard. Then Innova is what?

Never saw lots of Honda Freeds either.

Wonder where have they all gone to?

It's "angkat brg for biz" but the "brg" are persons that uses wheelchairs.

Thinking of buying one to remove the rear seats to fit a side and rear access wheelchair ramps.

Biante pricing in a different bracket.

I can't blame your friend for thinking the Sienta is better than the Matrix.

Wonder why? Toyotas rarely ever make it to the cold door car list.

just booked corolla cross... fell in love with compact suv after driving x50

Brand is already Toyota
Still want to ask stupid question


If cos it's still good.

was supposed to compete with BRV especially with the sliding doors but somehow lost badly

seriously? so comfy? i'm actually hunting for a 6/7 seater currently but i want something cheap most likely 2nd hand. was eyeing on kia sorento 2015 before they facelift..

really worry 1.5l couldn't bring me far. haha

good for driver
bad for 2nd row , 3rd row still okay

dont expect that 1.5 will bring u any sense of power
1 driver with no passenger this car can only do 14 sec 0-100
imagine with 5 passenger,

The sliding side doors and the lower ride height makes it an excellent chassis for installing wheelchair ramps and it's compact size makes it much easier to drive around urban areas especially to any of the public hospitals.

Yes, that's true but that goes for most sub-RM100k cars.

The real "adik" to the Alphard is a Noah.


You won't by any chance recall if it had a good ride quality?

Toyota parts bin car.

Was in my consideration, but finally decide to purchase Yaris instead.. my .02
Pros:
1. Quality is japan-like. (Manufactured in Indonesia though, but fit and finish is high quality compare to 3rd world Vios/Yaris)
2. Ride height and size is very practical. Like the folding seats very much. 3rd row feels a bit like deathtrap though.. too near to rear windscreen.
3. Engine is small, but good torque at low rpm - I am using this engine in yaris too btw. Don't demand too much and it's not too bad.
Cons:
1. Lots of wind noise at speed, if compare with Yaris.
2. Deal-breaker for me, Toyota Malaysia discontinued it in 2019. Not many on the road which means spare parts might be hard to find. Engine is the same as current gen Yaris /Vios , 2NR-FE iinm.
3. Car is heavy for its size due to the power door, fuel consumption will be higher than what you thought - think 10km/l city driving, similar to Serena/innova/exora class MPV. Cannot compare to Alza.

I think can get around 68k for 2018 model when I am seriously considering it back in 2020. Now should be 60k-ish I think..

Since Sienta kenot find liao, must as well go for Seken hand Nissan Serena or Mazda Biante around 60 to 70K.

Hybrid?

5 for me... me, wife, sis, mum and newborn. haha. that's why looking at the old kia sorento at least 2.4.

Trying to find something budget don't want to do any installment anymore.. want to buy outright 60-70k.. Exora also in my list actually.

never thought of biante.. let me look into it but like good suggestion.

naza ria convert toyota engine under 15k cheap cheap weekend car

but that's a very old 7 seater right? haha don't need to go down until that budget la.. something around RM60-70k still affordable in my books.

I wouldn't touch that one with a 100ft bargepole.

2.4l engine is prone to conrod and bearing failures right around 120k, engine replacement is upwards of RM12k and that's if you can find a donor engine block.

The only Sorento worth buying is the UM series, in Malaysia it would be 2016 onwards and make sure it's powered by that 2.2d engine. It was mind blowing a car that didn't cost RM200k had such good performance.

no more selling in Malaysia all kind of small panssanger Van not doing well in Malaysia

Ts is not in prc?
Buy geely instead.

The only thing i don't like biante is the seats can't fold like serena.

T badge car, practical and min maintenance.

However, it has a look that, either you like it, or dont.

Voxy is adik to Alphard

RV > all

msia buy car cos of RV...
still need to ask this question?

Any idea if that 3rd row seat could be completely removed?

Toyota picnic or toyota ipsum i can vouch ok. If yoyota avensis verso lagi ok. You can take out all the seats yourself

Avensis Verso is an EU/GB model only isn't it? Was it available in Malaysia?

wow very rich guy who owned multiple business and 11 properties under his name is looking for second hand toyota sienta.

Not sure on this.

No, it's not suppose to be sold in Malaysia. Size wise, performance and reliability of the model had been very good.

i thought the 2.4l is a good engine no? its one of those which dont give u probs. i cant get a diesel my petrol card would not cover diesel hahabaa.

saw in pauline tan... can fully fold down as well. cant use as a camper haha but below the seat can put crap.

strange and rare kind of mini mpv thing.. even stranger are the 2" didis who drive them as if they have any chance vs king. Its an ffing roti car la sohai.

Why not go for Xpander? Still below RM100k.

I tested that car and liked almost everything except 2 air bags.

Ride this before Grabcar Singapore, the ride is comfortable and quite cabin.

But Toyota voxy is mileee better la.

Far from it

The true little alphard is voxy

Very rare

Sure it can.
Seats are just bolt mounted.

why not HIACE 2.7 FACELIFT WINDOW VAN 11 SEATERS?
I drove one of these (manual) up Batu Feringgi before. Very nice short shift. JDM unit with japanese player etc.
2015 one about 70k or so.

For that price, ask them fly kite. And I rather take Aruz or BRV. Mitsubishi is winning on handling and space design among these 3, but topkek almost 100k price.

the 4at will make u cry if u travel on kampung road with family onboard

trying to keep it within a budget of RM60-70k.. if RM100k will need to take out a loan for a ride again. Trying to avoid taking a loan at this moment cause next year will be buying a bigger place as well. avoiding loan.

That back is a huge space, can put in a Honda EX5 together with other balik kampong barang!

just go for alza

the downside is the current version safety feature is topkek

however if you are driving below 100kmh with care you will be fine

Well, I seen people going up to Genting lately with family onboard, no issues. It isn't fast but decent.

Alza is due for a refresh, but it's probably next year

try both sienta and ertiga years back
end up bought ertiga, because of price
lul

Sienta smaller version of wish, quite crampy but good to use as daily car still

Voxy Noah smaller version of Velfire

i m looking for 7 seater also

Now eyeing Serena (top up not abit). but discount not much also even year end

but seems next year many cars coming ler BRV, X90, Avanza, plenty of choices

looking at freed and sienta kinda reminds me of the old boxy renault kangoo

anyway, never owned a sienta and never drove 1. however, i did managed to have a look at the car when went in for a car service at Toyota SC a few years back. Seat folding mechanism is just mind blowing. Interior-wise, didn't really like it.

If deisgn not funky,shd b can sell well

nissan serena ok

this car good for small family, sliding door is the selling point for this car. If kids grow bigger, then should got for Nissan which value for money.

https://www.wapcar.my/used-cars/toyota/sien...-sienta-v-1.5-3

Price can buy new Exora/Alza..

Alza with extended body and sliding doors,
Cheap option compared to voxy

let be frank this car is cute and good for 4 passenger only. The rear seat last row.... u need to be a kid to sit in there. and sitting side by side max is 2 ppl + 1 kid. else will feel so tight.

How fast u wanna to with family on board lol

maybe u never followed behind a slow lorry ??
where u need pulling power n that sloppy 1.5 and 4at couldn't provide ??
is not about how fast u travel, is the power to accelerate

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
better Handling ? lagi Nope

buy rusa jer like /k ridhuan t
can turn the inside into mini kondo

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 ...
