The key things are of course, space, comfort, running costs and safety, being a 'family' carrier. i'm guessing that having a more 'car like' design, the Livina is going to be giving the avanza a run for its money in the comfort dept. i'm not too sure on the size though. i've driven the avanza over long distances, and winding roads as well.. true, its got decent handling, for an mpv, but only over smooth roads. When unladen, the rear hops around too much, and bumps unsettle it midcorner. i have no idea why anybody would want to compare the “performance driving ability” of his MPV with another MPV???

The new Cefiro has not been launched, although Singapore has had it for so long. Their share in the SUV sector may be gone in no time if they do not do something about their Xtrail which is now the market leader. The CRV is spanking new and offers 150 bhp from their 2 litre engine (compared to 140 for the Xtrail) and is much more expensive. Yet they are racking up sales and the waiting list is 4 months. I believe that if ETCM launches their new Xtrail, then the CRV will not get very far. LJ It’s time ETCM do something about it’s ageing models being dished to the Malaysian market.
