Bought a second hand Kangoo, not much has gone wrong so far. It’s a good car, and some repairs can be done by everyone. Spare parts can be really expensive for some parts, that is true, but it’s not that bad (I live next to Singapore so I can always try to find parts there) as it seems rather popular in SG).

TCO isn’t a big problem for me though, I just wanted a car that is safe and immensely practical. Can easily put in a wheel chair and still seat 7 ppl rather nicely, for 25k RM, and it is still very easy to park (4 meters!). Drives nicely too, albeit a bit slow (still fast enough for Malaysian roads and drivers). To me there is no competition to the Kangoo, a shame that they don’t import it (or the new one) anymore.

Hi Barry,
I see that you have problem with the previous Kangoo, is this why there are so many used Kangoos around? Looks like replacement parts are expensive as a Merc or BMW. Like not really worth it.

Had a kangoo for 7 years now. Bought new. is a comfortable & practical car but there is always something going wrong…little stuff but irritating and surprisingly expensive. right now there are 2 big probs. The struts in the lift up boot have given up (will be €250 to replace) and the seatbelt sockets in the back are useless too ( another couple of hundred!!!). if you get one, plan to dump it after 2 or 3 years.

Safety features include Bosch 8.0 ABS with Electronic Brake Variator, ESP, USC (under-steering control system), ASR (traction control), and MSR (torque movement regulation). ASR allows the vehicle to launch easily on slippery surfaces, and MSR prevents the wheels from locking during deceleration on slippery surfaces.
=============================================

WoW!! ABS 8.0 & ESP!!!!!! Even Belta(aka 2007Vios) doesnt have ESP!
So when ETCM brings in, ABS 2.0 might be fitted and excludes ESP, even its lower cousin Traction Control also not!

Will the next P1 Flagship aka Perdana comes with any ESP ?

mmm, hopefully they improve the driver seat space. The current version is simply too small for a tall driver : foot space all went to head space.

Lookslike all the interior panel and roof has been covered nicely, not a barebone like the current model, cant wait how fast TCM can put it on Malaysia road..
