Better spec and looks nicer too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estima is parallel importers right.... Basic model from BM is around $188k and with all accessories in at $194k, one bit COE... What is the cost of Estima Aeras ?

What is the cost of Estima Aeras ? Estima can get between 170k to 177k for the premium model w the aeras body kit, pana roof, captain seats. That's why u see more Estima than Previa on the roads.

Baal Supersonic February 17, 2014 Share February 17, 2014 (edited) I observed from the new car section that between normal & absolute, The diff in engine is : Normal has Smaller bore & longer stroke Comp 10 : 1 (min 92 ron?) Absolute has larger bore & shorter stroke Comp 11 : 1 (min 95 ron?) Though Normal with longer stroke means better of the line, Absolute with higher compression may compensate for this. The shorter stroke with for absolute also means revvier for bullet train aspirations. Edited February 17, 2014 by Baal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silklee 3rd Gear February 25, 2014 Share February 25, 2014 I was comparing the PI's offer of the new Absolute Odyssey and the KM's EX(V). Too many differences between them for me to list down.However, when I was talking to the KM SE, he told me that he went for some training and that only KM has the special (engine?) oil for the Odyssey because it uses a new engine and or gearbox (CVT). As such, only KM can maintain the car properly. I know next to nothing about such technical stuff, but it cannot be due to the CVT gearbox right, cos there are other makes already using the CVT. Does the new odyssey use a different / unique engine? Is there any truth to what he says? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holdenutessv Turbocharged February 25, 2014 Share February 25, 2014 Sorry, dont quite get what you mean. Can elaborate? Just noticed KM isn't bringing in the new bulkier, taller Odyssey. The Absolute trim fits the sportier looking Odyssey not the MPV-ish looking one. EXV trim is good enough. Well, that's my personal opinion... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silklee 3rd Gear March 3, 2014 Share March 3, 2014 ... I know next to nothing about such technical stuff, but it cannot be due to the CVT gearbox right, cos there are other makes already using the CVT. Does the new odyssey use a different / unique engine? Is there any truth to what he says? So now what I have been told is the EV odyssey that Kah Motors bring in has the latest CVT HCF2 (though I am quite sure he meant CVT HCH2) gearbox. Whereas the PI one is not, so probably is the CVT HCH1, I suppose. Anyway, it then doesnt make sense from there on. If the PI odyssey uses the CVT HCH1, then if its an older technology, surely there are workshops that have the required gearbox oil. They are confusing me.

Enye Hypersonic March 3, 2014 Share March 3, 2014 the new odyssey's CVT gearbox i was told now comes with torque converter instead of the start clutch drivers of honda cars with the previous CVT gearbox would probably know about the start clutch issues with the torque converter, the issues would be eradicated but of course with a higher transmission loss. pricing at 194K is really high. I cannot afford Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic March 3, 2014 Share March 3, 2014 So comparing between the japs, Estima vs Odyssey vs MZ8? Which do u guys prefer? Estima only have 2 airbags? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ins1dious Turbocharged March 3, 2014 Share March 3, 2014 So comparing between the japs, Estima vs Odyssey vs MZ8? Which do u guys prefer? Estima only have 2 airbags? I'd choose the Nissan Elgrand More space, more kit, more rare on roads. The Mazda is priced cheaper so that gets the nod before the Odyssey. The Toyota looks overpriced in this segment... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
