Grand Livina kureng sebab duduk macam dalam kereta serupa Nissan B13 aku juga dan etc. Bagi aku NGL / Alza tu dalam kelas Station Wagon bukan MPV. Exora / Avanza memang kelas MPV cuma beza Exora Ori siza MPV klass dan front wheel drive, guna belting utk injin, Avanza medium saiz klass dan back wheel drive, guna chain utk injin.

Now I find out that my car didn't have any control for lock the Automatic Gear. the Main Security issue which I have from this car is the Automatic Gear can be change anytime without press the break or any control button. Anyone have similar problem with me. I just recently brought TOYOTA AVANZA 1.5E, it just only one mount passes.

It really depends which class you are in. Understand that "poor" ppl oso suffered. But generally, graduates from Singapore are enjoying much more than Malaysian Graduate.

Methinks Toyota is learning from what Proton did; various facelifts while increasing price. So who's learning from who? Remember the Dugong? It's more expensive and more ugly. I thought when you pay more, its supposed to be better? At least the old Saga Aeroback was better than the old ones with lighter bumpers and nicer dashboard. Hmmmm.
