Looking for your feedback and opinion.
Planning to get another 7 Seater car
Budget is around 25-33K

Currently im aiming:

1. Honda Freed E 1.5
2. Honda Stream RSZ 1.8

2010-2016 make/registration sorta thing.


Whats your thoughts and if there is any other suggestion?

avanza innova u see or not

Honda MPV? I think until today most of my friends sold off their MPV left few still holding their Toyota Wish.

If i want to buy small Honda MPV i would aim for the highest spec. stream 2.0 RSZ not the smaller engine as 2nd market the price difference is not much.

not keen on innova.


u means the RN7?



i did consider myself Nissan Serena C26.
but then after look see look see in their FB group.
i terus kensel leh. the service/repair = GG WALLET



my consideration right now is like 70% RSZ RN6 / 30% FREED E

C26 too old already, C27 still ok. 2 friends own this before the only weakness surprisingly is not the CVT gearbox but front windscreen. (need remember to buy windscreen insurance kau kau)
Due to the front windscreen is large it is easy to crack, got 1 friend even after go service at Nissan Tan Chong SC the technician accidently crack the front windscreen and pay for the insurance coverage cost.

give 2010/2011 odyssey rb3 a look

Getting these old MPVs, you have to set aside RM1k to 2k monthly for maintenance. I used to own an old Toyota Estima same story. In the end sold it, bought a Proton Saga and trouble-free for 10 years.

Thanks for the info.
but C27 abit far reach from my budget.


currently my commitment not so high le (credit card only)
i also do consider of getting a brand new car ---- Mitsubishi Xpander.
but i duno leh if i wana hutang again for 9 years (RM1k per month with 20k depo)

hahaha
thats why le i looking at secondhand car for bring out family ony.

this one cross my mind. but still getting more info about it.
but heard odyssey spare part abit hard compare to freed and rsz no?


yes sir. coz my close friend owns a workshop.
getting his advise alot on these cars before buying.
coz will send to him if theres anything.

currently got 3 cars - myvi, iriz and lancer.
looking for a 7 seater so can go long drive comfy.

the 2.4L k24 engine pretty solid....some folks even add turbocharger to it....that engine a lot of mod potentials and after market parts to replace....i believe your workshop friend can attest to that....just get the regular 5 speed torque converter gearbox version, avoid the cvt (probably most of the grey imports here are the 5 speeder but do verify just in case)

the size of the car is much more comfy compared to freed and rcz, the 3rd row pretty roomy yet without that high ish/bulky feeling of MPV and even the power also pretty decent....

k swap all the cars!

yo. alright.
will do further research and get my friend's advise as well.

thank for the info.

Mitsubishi Xpander sadly the safety spec. given in Malaysia market is quite low & also not cheap.
If you ask me better get Alza, veloz or Avanza in term of safety, overall lower maintenance & cheaper cost.

Got pro & con, a lot of the mods are not approved by JPJ (Different engine mod to different car manufacturer). My mechanic got help few owners do different engine swap most of it dont go for puspakom or JPJ to endose, if want to do for the legal way you can but they will key in sistem cannot transfer ownership. So your car can only scrap and cannot sell officially afterwards, thus why a lot of owners dont want to go endose with the engine swap and if want to sell convert back original engine. Beside from cannot sell, if your ride involve in accident with the swaped engine (without JPJ endose) your car insurance consider burn ya as once found out the engine no register or different from original grant/JPJ sistem auto reject.

ok let say im considering a new car and my budget is at the Perodua cars.
which is better and comfort

Alza AV or Aruz AV

Alza is more comfort for city, but if always go Kampung roads Aruz is more better with higher height & RWD.

the best that fit in your criteria should toyota sienta.
slightly above your budget.

honda freed is disqualified because lack of ESC

Got it.


Will look into it.


i plan to get it next year (first quarter)
but my friends say wait for the new HP Loan gazette (if getting new car)
