estima is a great car. got 1 during chinese new year for around 300. didnt know it went down so much already. Always driving my dad around like a driver hahah. to tell the truth the comfort of estima and harrier is the best man. even cayenne can't match them.

@haswanniza - the 7 seater is not for easy to get in and out. u still have to move the seat forward in order for the back passengers to get in. the center console in between the 2 seats in the middle is tight coz the seats are wider. and normally in Aeras G series, there is a small table/cupholder/tray to fill up the blank space.

becoz the estima size is smaller, the 7 seater serve the purpose of small family. it tend to act like a 6 seater. as i said before , medium size adult, for long distance to sit properly , the last row is supposed to sit 2 people coz the tyre wall bulge out. normally people buy 7 seater is sit 6 people, very comfortable. its still a good idea coz normal car if u fit 6 people is very cram especially 6 medium size adult. then if u take 2 car means u have to pay 2 time petrol, 2 time tyres, 2 car parking fee, 2 tol money everything also basically 2. with estima u can sit comfortably and only pay 1 off.

if u change the middle row is not expensive. from the long 8 seater chair on the middle row cost about RM 800 for second hand. its the 7 seater chair that expensive. u can buy 2 of the middle row business class chair but then very hard to find footrest and even if can find, the "longkang" to slide the footrest u have to drill yourself. its very tedious.
the 2 business class seat cost about RM 650 each.

the problem with change chair is actually cost. u buy the car so new, the chair if u buy kedai potong is out under sun and rain. so very dirty. you sure u wan change ? next problem is color. is not easy find 8 seater middle row chair or 7 seater 2 business class chair with same color. there are many color. so if u cham cham sure look damn no class.

hmm.. not easy to but mpv.. headache!! now my family only 5 person include my son 1 .4 years old only.. but my family very like mkn angin.. and my father/mother in law n family also like mkn angin, before this, travel 2 or 3 car.. now, my sister bought avanza already.. but, u know la avanza, ppl at 3rd row in avanza.. hehehe.. now, think my time now to change to mpv.. lagi 2 bulan, hari raya.. sure kaw kaw mkn angin.. forget about da seat, must buy first..

search in motor trader, got estima year 03 at 120k at klang.. 00 only 96k.. facelift already.. 01 only 105k at kl.. that black estima i want buy year 01.. my father said, if want to buy at kl, so hard to get loan coz my adress in IC.. any 1 here can help me ar? now think wanna buy at kl.. coz wanna borrow 80k only.. think to pay rm20k for d/p

or u can always rent 1 for the holiday season??

8 seater is normally cheaper than 7 seater
one thing that you need to check about 8 seater is whether is it a taxi in japan last time, cos a lot of the 8 seaters are taxis in japan

i thought aeras S is quite well specced, the kosong one should be the J-spec

My dad used to have Estima Emina, the smaller version of Estima. It was around 1996-2001..very good car, reliable, never make headache (anyway brought 1st hand)..miss this mpv..can lauch from 60-100 in 2 seconds...very shiok....

Now got two of my uncle using Estima, year 1991 and 1994. Still good n need some care, but served the owner faithfully..

You will never regret to have this mpv..and i recommend you to have it..

hahaha.. dont want rent rent la.. want buy.. untuk masa depan jugak...

yup, coz 7 seat looks very executive


u use estima telur version ar?.. before this, think want to buy telur version, after discuss n discuss, dont want.. hehehe.. ur punya 2.4 or 2.4 supercas?

buy car take loan dont see address wan. only require u valid driving lesen, valid i/c, pay slip and bank statement. loan can take anywhere anytime if u fulfill all criteria. since when they reject because address is far away ? i think u go PJ motor confidence or petra motor they help u answer more question about your loan.

really? coz my father want to buy honda odyssey before this at jln kucing if `i not wrong.. so hard want to make loan coz, daftar niaga n ic.. i try call salesman in kl to confirm this 1..

bakc to topic, how about FC? i test already here, 2.3k rpm, reach 100kmh

FC for MPV is always no good vs saloon. but if u always hv 6ppl in the car or trip then it should be chaper per head count loh. Also u hv to look into how to fit in all the bags.... as mpv hv a smaller boot area.

As I also thinking of getting 1 for office used.....

hehehe.. i look boot, ok la.. can tindih tindih.. hehehe...

check the color code at ur engine bay. u will see it there.

FC for city driving full tank about 400km+. But if driving on highway constantly can do pretty well i suppose. Estima is good car. Only problem is getting the parts as if get it from UMW Toyota is expensive. Another thing is Estima drain battery fast.
