If want to fetch people especially kids or family, MPV will always be the better choice in term of practicality and comfort. Between the 2 i will pick Alphad/Vellfire anytime. BTW Kia Grand Carnival 2.2D is a good option also, the diesel engine really is a reliable workhorse & more modern interior & exterior offerings from the Koreans. 4WD_er, babisotong, and 1 other liked this post

QUOTE(overfloe @ Aug 21 2023, 11:44 AM) drives much better than the usual jap van. i wish the carnival is a bit shorter though.. it is too long for daily drive in malaysia. Shorter later people complain of small interior space pulak..   Another option from Toyota is Toyota Granace, but the design really kek..  |

QUOTE(FirstNoob @ Aug 21 2023, 03:14 PM) Thanks for the suggestion! I did not know about this car, looks good. Will check it out this weekend Kia/Hyundai 2.2D turbo diesel is one of the most reliable engine from the Korean side, from their previous Sorento/ Hyundai Sante Fe/Starex this engine been pass down few generation without much issue. Those petrol engine since 10~20 years back can put in grave already.Btw, I have had bad experience with kia when I was young. My dad used to own a kia (at least 15 - 20 years ago) and it was horrendous !! I remember it keeps break down and fuel consumption was high . How is the kia doing now ? I am a big fan of Toyota as my family owns at least 7-8 Toyota cars for the past 10 years and none of them cause any issue or breakdown. Hence I find it really reliable. And I not a car person, that’s why I tend to avoid any cars or brand that will cause issues babisotong liked this post

QUOTE(FirstNoob @ Aug 23 2023, 07:12 PM) You are right. The 7 seater “pilot” seats are very weird. The sales guy keep adjusting for me to lay back.. not smooth at all. You should also ask for the 8 seater model to test, for me the 7 seater pilot seat is not very practical. For the 8-seater model only, the 2nd row seat can be removed and turned to face the 3rd row seat. Or turn and fold the center seat only to create a shared table. Regarding the color combination, this is quite subjective. For me If really dont like, can go out and ask for leather shop to customize it. Compare to like handling features/chassis/mechanical/safety stuff is hard to mod aftermarket compare to those inner interior stuff.
