Anyone Thinking Of Upgrading To MPV? Shd I Downgrade.

[Rogersk8ter]

Actually I'm also thinking of selling off my missus Vellfire as she just quit to be a full time stay at home mum.

 

Thinking of getting a 1.5-1.6 liter car for her instead. To run around and fetch the kids for enrichment classes....

 

From Vellfire to 1.6 sedan a lot of saving.

Isn't this figure the average of LMPV?

 

My brother-in-law's Grandis can only do 6-7km/L.

Apologies if I hijack TS thread....

 

Savings while have not really substantial. Cos I got the Vellfire at a very attractive price in late 08.

 

Car is under utilized, tho very very handy during days/weekends whereby need to load up ALL for an outing or to dinner etc....

 

As a Toyota, it's super reliable........ Really no complaints...

 

Got from Richburg, so aftersales wise is good. Thus still thinking hard....

Forget to add, the Vellfire FC is abt 8.5km/litre +/-.....

 

Very decent for a near 1.9 tonne squarish mini bus!

Bro, why u change from MPV to MPV?

 

The itch to change?

 

So u think it's worth it?

 

I need the extra seating capacity once in awhile, since i usually drive alone, i

dont see the need to drive 2.4l mpv.

Only 3 of us in a family. Driving Mit Grandis MPV. Do you think shd downgrade to 2L saloon?

 

Anyone need more space like to exchange?

keep the grandis la..its so rare to see one these days...think i havent seen once in months though i drive daily

[Alheych]

tks bro. I was think along that line...

 

Either Camry or Cefiro. guess can only be 2L w/o top up.

 

Anyway Camry or Cerfiro better?

 

between Camry and Cefiro, i have no doubt it'll be Camry, because the Cefiro is a very heavy car.

 

if you'll willing to compromise on size, a 2.0L Sylphy is actually a good option, you can get a 2006 car for just 40k:

FC is good because of the CVT gearbox, and it's almost as well equipped as a Cefiro.
