Currently i am driving a GS300 but i find sedan boring. The only reason I bought it in the first place is the brand, the smoothness and quietness of engine and to try out luxury car. Now i tried driving a captiva in australia and love SUV(i have always love SUV). Like the height, the hugeness. As i am quite tall, SUV height is also more comfortable.

Now i am in dilemma should i sell trade my GS for Captiva? Seems to be a downgrade. Any advice anyone?

Since you had tried both car just go for it

But do remember the SUV dont behave exactly like Luxury sedan GS300 at high speed may be 150km/h onward

Captiva i only tried for one day but lexus i driven for 2 years already. I am afraid what if I change to captiva then tired of it after driving a while?

 

I am not a performance drive person so slower acceleration is ok for me but not sure if i will regret my decision. I am not too sure abt captiva maintenance as well though

GS 300 to Captiva ... there are other SUV such as Lexus RX, BMW X. Audi Q, Nissan Murano or even Mazda CX-5, CX-7 which are better car compared to the Captiva .....

I drove a fortuner for 5 years, love the size, height. It's really a solid car, very stable even at 170km/hr. however there is a setback with some hdb carpark due to the height and FC is very bad at high speed Presently the only SUV that can clear all hdb carpark is X6.

since the only reason you bought the GS in the first place is the brand, the smoothness and quietness of engine, then change it to an RX.

Preferably wanted a 7 seater. I like SUV coz of the size, the height. The feeling of sitting high is good. Then head wun knock the top easily also. Legs can sit at 90 degree compared to sedan. I buy SUV not to go offroad though

 

I considered few SUV before it is out with the reasons as below.

 

RX300-Current model depreciation is high and is outdated to the latest facelifted. It is like not too new for that kind of depreciation and not old enough for a good buy. Latest facelifted interior and exterior is very different. The previous model 2003-2007 i wanted to buy before but coz the interior armrest dont is not comfotable and got many poser harrier that looks the same

 

BMW-Out as the interior is quite LQ for the pricing

 

Q5-my favorite but now all the pricing are unreasonable.deprecation at 19-20k even for three year old car.

 

Murano, CX5, CX7-dont really like the look

 

Captiva looks decent even though the pick up is slow

 

Anyone got any other suggestion?

Actually i love SUV all along due to the look and the height. One day is the longest I have driven it. Most of the time in Singapore test drive is maybe 20 minutes?

 

I have tried other SUV such as Q5, Sorento, Captiva, Xc90, XC60. Strangely i like XC90 but not XC60. Maybe coz Xc60 is not as high

In sgp test drive where got 20 minutes? I think most is less than 10 minutes. -_- Maybe if you test drive those expensive cars, maybe is longer?

 

SUV maybe nice to drive, but maybe not very comfy to sit?!

is height of car and seating level and 7 seater you looking at. MPV la really. SUV really is a waste in our island. try more MPV from Jap brand like toyota or conti VW or others like korean sure can find de. why choose a US brand.

I mean the longest is maybe 20 minutes. Thats why i think 1 day is quite long..Haha..Whether is nice to sit i dunno coz most of the time i am driving it as i don;t have a driver but i guess it should be nice to sit as well coz dun have the middle part in the back seat
