finally I managed to afford a BRAND NEW MPV!!!!! wow, this elysion is just one good comfy MPV…..i ve driven a nissan vanette for 3 yrs before, elysion is just totally multiple times comfortable n better performance than the vannette or anything similar….i m sure alphard and elgrand are both good excellent MPVs, but as many said in this thread, getting them brand new is just too expensive…..the 2-sided power doors are just so convenient for my family, easy to get my children in and out including the baby seat….my son can even sleep comfortably with the second seat reclined almost 170 degree (although the feel not exactly like sleeping in the bed, but far far better than the sedan car)…..ever think it’s difficult to manuever this ‘bus’….? haha, you guys are dead wrong….i just need one day to learn and adapt to the driving, and now side parking or reverse parking is at finger tip…somemore, we have a reverse camera, it just makes life super easier……and to put a shame to people who doubt how easy we can drive this ‘bus’, my wife (not a drift-car driver) took just 5 days to be expert in side- n reverse-parking our elysion……and you know what, if any of you prefers odyssey to elysion, you are just not ready for an MPV……i guess people who prefer driving odyssey are sportier, the kind who take sharp corner at higher speed and switch lane in between cars at high speed because you feel intact n less body roll……if you can afford paying monthly instalments for a loan of at least RM180k n r looking for a good BRAND NEW (mileage almost 0km), i recommend the elysion prestige….go to any of the usf hicom for a test drive (i m not sure whether all of the branches offer test drive), it’s worth it…..i dunno whether this is just ‘syok sendiri’ but i do think ‘made in japan’ feels better than ckd, (can somebody validate this too)…..

hi there Elysion fans,

just wanted to find out how you all feel about the car?

the price has dropped drastically in the last few weeks, do you know the reason? new model coming out? USF-Hicom trying to clear old stock?

thank you very much for your feedback! it will help me decide to buy one or not.

Cheers!

juz bought the new honda elysion 2.4 at the usf-hicom..the price for that car is around rm276,888 on the road wif insurans…its a value for money car..y are u guys keep complaining about the price..i think its fine considering that its brand new..better than the alphard and the estima..of course u guys prefer the alphard and the estima coz its cheaper but don u guys remember that its RECOND??!!!…the alphard coz around rm220 for the 2006 model..the brand new alphard coz 280,000 for the lowest spec..quiet weird…u can get full spec alphard in the elysion coz the elysion has all of it..such as 2 power door, 2 sunroof, keyless entry, tv,dvd,hdd,sc,am,fm,reverse camera, xenon, wood panel, 7 luxury leather seat, 17inch alloy wheels, electric folded side mirror, side indicator, original tinted, multifunction steering, electric power front seats, and also u get front seat heaters…this car feel more comfortable than the alphard..try take it for a test drieve and you will be amazed..seriously…if u fill up the gas tank for rm50 u can get about 150km..thats quiet good for a people mover..CONCLUSION:BUY THE ELYSION. NOT THE ALPHARD OR ESTIMA OR ELGRAND…SERIOUSLY

mystvearn, the torched MPV are Nissan Highway Star own by a nasi kandar laoban in Penang. I wonder what when wrong with the man. Musuh perniagaan agaknya.

i prefer the Odyssey…..

FIts the price. Its a luxury MPV anyway. Only not so sure a lot of people will buy it. I read in NST like a month ago, a nissan (something) looks like that got torched. RM250k car gone.

So thats mean, USF Hicom is the official seller for those Honda model which conclude that USF Hicom is not a grey importer. Am I right??

Anyway, i’m bored with T Alphard on the road now. a fuel guzzler summore. the engine is not so high tech unlike Honda Elysion and Nissan Elgrand. Even the Best Motoring driver, Itoh Daisuke (JGTC ARTA team racing driver) also own an Elysion.
anyway, its a good move to offer new model rather used/recon model.
good move USF!

Juara (aka mitsu townbox or sumthin) is actually meant to be a commercial van, so its in no way a match to any of these niche MPVs.

rm240k for entry-level Elysion? wow, that’s pretty expnsv.

Wonder why won’t HM, UMWT, even Tan Chong won’t bring in these niche models? U know, like Elysion, Alphard, Murano, etc. They’re proven to be selling well despite grey importers bring in…

Oops, I forgot to add 0% IMPORT DUTY (ASEAN/NON-ASEAN) for CKD as well, as of March 2006.

By: azrai

azrai — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 04:00:36 +0000

Yes I’m very sure. 1 year warranty, new CBU (not recond one). It is stated in their press conference yestaerday, 18 February 2008.

Nice, but Odyssey is good enough if I really needed a people carrier.

Would be interesting if the Honda Edix is available at RM150k – quite a good alternative to the Stream/Wish for those who want the flexibility of a six seater but without the hassle of three rows of seats – Think it was available at about RM180k by other parallel importers ?? Even better if they could bring in the 2.2 litre diesel which by all accounts is very good – Can anyone confirm proposed pricing??

“Stabbed in the back by AP policy” dragonslayer? You don’t know the whole picture. Since NAP, Japanese manufacturers have been enjoying EXCISE DUTY EXEMPTION based on local parts via the INDUSTRIAL ADJUSTMENT FUND. Here the term “Local Parts” equals ASEAN parts, so in the case of Honda City and Toyota Vios, which are mainly CKD Thailand, plus some additional benefits for setting up factories, the Malaysian government is practically giving them 100% EXCISE DUTY EXEMPTION. Furthermore through the JMEPA FTA any CKD from Japan is given 100% IMPORT DUTY EXEMPTION. Anyway USF-Hicom is run by William Chong and is part of the DRB-Hicom group, which is Honda Motor Co.’s partner so what’s a little knife play between partners eh?

Can it consider overpriced? I guess most our Malaysian may opt for recon-unreg rather than paying 300k for a Japanese car. This price, we may get european touch. However, there are still rich man where money not the matters. Pity to us hard earner which always just a dream…

If we won’t consider the engine, then consider classes, Elysion is full size van, Odessey and Stream is minivan. Ria, Alphard and Estima is full size. Wish is mini, Citra is compact MPV. Actually, i’m not even sure wtf I’m getting at.. hehe.

actually this elysion price is quite ok considering it is a brand new…mostly u can gt a low price of alphard because it is recond…so..if compare with the brand new alphard…this elysion is quite ok for me…if some ppl who luv honda…better u go 4 dis one than buy the odyssey…jz add a couple of xtra bucks….u can gt a roomier mpv…

AP == competitive advantage.

Anyway, these luxury vans are becoming quite a hit here on our roads. Alphards are everywhere!

_____

this car is not pricey considering ppl here are willing to pay 200k for a USED alphard.

why bring in all the wierd hondas for? They should bring in the Honda Accord Euro-R or the euro civic for example…
