I've looked at all the options already 😁 The CX30 ckd is too small especially at the rear space and to me lose out in terms of practically. Apart from space, looking at reliability as well and the Corolla Cross ticks most of the boxes apart from the slightly underpowered engine for this class when most competitors in the same segment offer more powerful engine options. The CX5 is more practical in terms of rear legroom and space but price-wise loses out.

Well gotta give and take...

The 2.0 High spec CX5 is actually similarly priced to the full spec CX30. But if your budget limit is just around 140k+ then yeah its over the budget

I tried CX30 last time, once I adjust to my driving position (5ft7"), I got trouble even getting into the rear seat, no legroom left. CX5 still got legroom after drive seat adjustment, so I'm sure CX30 rear legroom is way smaller than CX5.

yes gotta give and take. Nothing is absolute perfect so one will need to accept some features you don't like and some you like. I actually prefer the overall design of the Corolla Cross GR Sport too. The CX30 large black coloured cladding all-round the bottom of the vehicle ruined the looks a bit to me. The Mazda 3 looks better and classier than the CX30 to me. SUV or sedan both are no issue to me as both are acceptable.

Yes, would like to keep the price down to about RM140k although could stretch higher as don't want to lose so much with a depreciating asset. The higher the price of the vehicle, the bigger the hit when it comes the time to sell it.

I'm 5 ft 8" but I got no problem getting to the rear behind my driving position actually maybe because I'm a slimmer guy i have thin legs although they're long

if only mazda decides to sell CX50 worldwide... it makes much more sense than the more expensive CX60, 80

The cars from country of origin actually not pricey, the high total cost of ownership in Sgp is due to COE, no?

Also, if want Japan spec, wait for refurbished JDM TCC?

Yes, mostly COE. Will need to compromise although full Japanese spec is more desirable than current CKD version of the Corolla Cross. Japanese spec is not new but refurbished so it's different.

Went to a Toyota showroom last week. The new Cross won't come this year as there's only 1 launch left for this year which is the Yaris Cross that is around April/May. Also looking for a car maximum price around 140K to replace a HRV.

Useful to know that the new Corolla Cross will only be launched next year in 2025.

After looking at all the SUV in the market both petrol and electric models, the Corolla Cross is still one of the best (most practical and safest) options for me even with all its shortcomings. Last week spotted a red coloured Corolla Cross GR Sport on the roads and it looks strikingly beautiful.

Yaris RM140000, not far from cross.
Better get cross

Confirmed my unit facing this issue. Waiting the SC to submit the issue to HQ. Just me?

toyota quality now better?

urm if you were to ask me, my tcch has a little rattling on and off, on the drive side , and also steering. definitely not the commonly known steering rack noise. my odometer is just 16k mileage. 1 year old car. do i enjoy the car? yes, but there's trade off.

before i made the choice, i tested drive vios, i felt its more solid compared to vios my parents used to drive, but of course price also increased way alot.

nice, considering getting 2nd hand yaris/vios if ok...

different kind.. suv vs sedan/hatchback..

yeah , gives u higher ride that improves comfort and visibility, but not so stable during high speed turns like highway, sedan gives you rigidity, but over bump not comfortable. get petrol engine for more spirited drive, tcch is abit layback i would say, or wait for 2.0 dynamic force engine, if the upcoming FL has it.

Test drove the hybrid version this morning. Is it just me or anyone here thinks either the engine or CVT is a bit loud during highway cruising? The humming of the inverter during start-up is a bit annoying to be honest. The SA said the petrol version is a lot more smoother and responsive compared to to the hybrid version.

yes and no, its loud and noisy if you throttle down, but when the battery is available, its really quiet, you wont be able to accept NA car engine noise after sitting on a hybrid.

Need /K advise,

Suddenly this tyre alert came out - am outstation and the nearby petrol station don't have a working tyre pump for me to check tyre pressure.

Used the emergency kit to check the tyre pressure of all tyres, they're at 32psi. The recommended pressure is 33psi, so I don't think 32 is an issue.

Left it overnight, the alert is still there, but tyres look sufficiently inflated.

Anything else could have caused the tyre signal to come out in a TCC?

Or this could've been caused by me being at a higher elevation and therefore the colder temps caused the alert to come on?

it does happen from time to time, i experienced twice, once i've validated with petrol station typre pump, its just lower by 1 kPa, the 2nd time, it was a false alarm, i think you'll be just fine till you find the next petrol station.
