First of all, practicality. Can someone with a height of 6 feet be seated at any seat with room to spare? That's both Perodua Alza and Nissan Grand Livina out. Secondly, comfort and NVH. Is it comfortable for long journeys? That's the Toyota Avanza out. Thirdly, price. No more than RM 100k. That's both the Toyota Innova and Honda Freed out. Fourth, the overall fuel consumption and performance. With pricing below RM 80k for the high-line, you get what you buy. With RM85 for RON95, you get around 600km of driving. A mixture of highways and city roads. Not too bad considering its either loaded with people (5-6), or being revved hard. Last but not least, the creature comfort features. No MPV in its class has features to keep your right foot and family happy. Cruise control and DVD player. However to balance it out, the car do have some issues. The rear aircond vent is a bit flimsy so is the rear panel of the third row seat while the steering does wobble a bit driving above 130km/h. Despite that, this car has been driven to Cameron Highland twice, Bukit Tinggi and to Singapore too with no faults to report. Cheers :) Before buying this car, my parents considered every expect there is to consider.

Normally an auto transmission contributes about 3 or 4 mpg which is lesser than manual. no, it isn’t, it’s not economical as manual, 4th gear auto is easier to use n this is because the gear changes it for u instead of ur hand changing it.

But at RM 75,000! Why Malaysian cars are so expensive even with all the protections. When can we buy Exora at RM 40,000? Our car prices are so weird. A small Alza at RM 55K, an Altis at 110K or a Toyota Rav at 140K. Every car in Malaysia is a moving house or bunglow. yes, it's a good looking car & worth buying. But at RM 75,000!
