The company cars (Avanza, Odyssey). Been to and fro to SG on monthly, if not weekly basis.

And i don't have that so-called 'mystic' mode that can sense the quality of all those mpv's from range. You should have that ability since you have conclude Exora as a failure. Care to share with us how to develop those skills?

That was preliminary specification. Ever read the clause 'subject to change without notice'? In Exora's case, a better engine may be?

I did not say Exora is a failure but I do not have confidence with an MPV using the same engine as a Satria/Waja and being priced RM70K+. These are all my personal view and my stand to that remains smile.gif Like what someone said, we'll just wait for the next 2-3 months to see how good or bad it is.

Did you also take into account the weight of the Avanza compared to Exora? What's the power/weight ratio like, etc? smile.gif Are you saying the kerb weight of the car is never a concern?

Thanks sphiroth smile.gif I'm just highlighting the power to weight ratio part because certain people never thought of that. Obviously the Exora weights more compared to some of its rivals.

In most of your post, I've seen you emphasising on good command of english and mentioning about low level of education of others. So can I know why do you not have the choice to leave this country? I suppose you do have a very high level of education and talent that other countries want to be criticising others like that.

I've mentioned before that if there's nothing to say, just shut up smile.gif What value does it bring by putting up stupid comments which you've just made? Everyone is already back on the topic and here you go trying to be a hero. Honestly, if you don't like what I said then that's really your problem and I've reported your post accordingly. It doesn't matter if my education level is higher or if I'm lousier because that's none of your business and to answer your question, YES I would leave the country when I have the choice and the time is right.

I would appreciate if you stop being a moron and focus on the discussion. This would also show you're better in some ways (at least).

it's true exora is heavier than others... this will only affect the car performance if the car is full load.. if most of the time only carry 4-5 people, it shouldn't be a problem

Ok, lets re-visit my comments after we've done a test drive smile.gif I'd like to try out for myself as well. 4-5 should be fine but 7 (full load) would be a bit tough for the 1.6 engine.

I think it's fair to at least say some disadvantage about the car. Most review isn't writing anything bad but is the car really perfect? Why not just be honest and fair? smile.gif
