A second hand Toyota Estima Aeras. Year 1997-1999. Or a Naza Citra.

Naza Citra is well over RM80k here in Sabah.. too pricey.. any other suggestions..?

2nd hand Estima. They're damn tough and it has been well known that certain wear and tear parts (pumps, compressors bla bla bla) had lasts 12 years or more. Get the 97 year end facelift version. Damn good MPV.

P.S DO NOT GET THE AVANZA. IT SUCKS. JUST IMAGINE A HUGE KANCIL.

I thought Naza/Kia cars are petrol guzzler ? My friend's dad Naza Ria rilly consumes petrol man.Avanza quite ok but underpower.How much for Toyota Innova ? Perhaps thats best bang for bucks. Estima older version ? How about maintain it ? Maybe our bro here looking for new car. 3 people , Avanza should be ok what.

Chevrolet Nabira and Nissan Serena ? Toyota Innova would be over budget for our bro here.....

totally agree with ingol an that! hehe avanza is not really an MPV.:_:

Put in a few more bucks get the Honda City or Vios...
Avanza:might i suggest Rusa

Used cars are a good option...
One can also get the Fiat Ulyssese or its Citroen equivalent..looks like this la..

Diesel Powered Isuzu Citation or Mit Pajero's are great as well..as Petrol is getting expensive...

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

ford transit.... hahaha...

btw, why 3 ppl in a family need an MPV??... normal sedan car also can become familyman mah....

 

[Fluffy]

hrmm..a volvo can never go wrong as a family car.my fav.

MPVs are totally DIFFERENT to PEOPLE CARRIERS. Please differentiate that. :) People carriers are boxes with loads of cramped seats. MPVs are vehicles that are very versatile, seats that turn and slide and could even be packed up and turn into dining tables.

Honestly, giving me the budget, I'll head straight for a Fiat Multipla. A 2002 model, and i'll get the 1.9 JTD (Turbo diesel) one full tank 60 liters can take you 1100km easily, seats 6 person comfortably, double sunroof, and a very versatile interior. I didn't wanna mention it earlier cos i knew people in zth were more acceptance to Jap cars, once anyone would mention Euro, they'll go "High maintenance, expensive spare parts bla bla bla..... "

Fiat Multipla's the answer. And if someone told you it looked ugly, ask them in return this looked better or a Avanza/Innova/Unser ..... :)
