Potential MPV buyers fall in please

[Sevenseven]

t

bro..Vox not around when i bought..my wife gave a long lecture ...she said dun even dream about it! lol

 

seriosuly of between Noah n Voxy sun roof bluetooh...side skirts, more fierce front...say $10K diff...no need to think..$10K divdie by 10 years only $1K if you sell car every 5 years divide only $2K a year...looking thru the double sunroof...priceless...stuck in traffic besind the no frills Noah...& the noah owner looking at you with greeen eyes...price less...hahaha

 

just kidding...the voxy has a lot of superficial extras...if not too much stretch from the Noah...i said worth it...if too much premium ..get Noah model X just like mine...your family wil arrive in comfort too..only no suntan or moon tan

 

That's what I think too.Only thing I do not like is the orange interior.Need to pay the PI a visit to check if they have other colours available.But its a bad timing now as the COE is on the uptrend for Cat B due to the orders collected for the C Class and Macan,thus pushing up the premium.

 

Only problem the price is a bit out of my budget :)

Quick go order your bodykit form HK and zhng your noah ?

[Achtung]

The Voxy pics in SGCarMart is a TRD specced version. The normal one will look damn fuggly.

 

I called the dealer and the lady was supposed to get back to me with price but looked like they didn't call me and simply bo chup....

 

She did mention that one person ahs ordered it. Cant recall the price... 139K?

 

 

Wow...the thread is superb timing....great info too!

 

I am looking at MPVs too...and my initial choice was Citroen Grand Picassp C4....

 

but the recent reviews on sgcarmart all cited poor power.....at 115bhp....it is logical that not so powerful.

 

then I saw a Mazda 5 and started to do some readup on it and this is when i chance upon this thread.....

 

and you guys have made me so interested in the Noah and Voxy.....!!!...

 

Voxy looks like a souped up, iced-up, sibei fierce version of Noah.....at least from the pics in sgcarmart.....

 

was actually looking at Freed too....but the lack of boot space when the 3rd row is down......really makes me strike it off my list....

 

anyway, looking forward to more info on the Noah....:)

 

thanks guys....

 

Topmix from HK will be your best bet for kits.

Samfreak..me also Isis for 5 years!!..wonderful car trouble free for me man hope its been kind to you.. you know i remember packing x 2 billy bookshelves (tallest ones) laid on its side previosuly...also transported a 2m dinnning table with the legs removed...the car saw me thru 2 house moves!! solid

 

Only 5 years? I've been driving mine for nine years now (and its still going strong!)! But the mileage is only around 140k if I remember correctly (too lazy to go downstairs to check). Yeah ... mine has hauled lots of stuff around for me (and that's why I do not like that the Biante 3rd row seat cannot fold away completely). Just yesterday, I had TEN passengers in the car - two of them are young kids. No problem driving everyone around to watch the fireworks.

 

If I give up this car, I will miss the missing 'B' pillar the most. Its so convenient to have such a wide opening when the passenger side front and rear doors are opened!

 

Actually, in my MSCP, there are TWO Noahs (one generation earlier), ONE Biante (current generation) and TWO Isis (including mine). 'Rare' models they may be, but they are all found in my MSCP!

OMG 10 poeple..8 adults..2 kids...!!!

 

Agreed the lack of the B pillar super!! helped my late mother when she was wheel chair bound ..

 

The folding front passenger seat also helped pack the extra long items.

 

Nice MSCP...select few driver with good taste ;-)....by the looks of it another new MPV on its way ..brand & model TBC!!

How abt Citroen c4 grand Picasso ?

How abt Citroen c4 grand Picasso ?

 

it was mentioned Isis can squeeze 10. grand picasso i assure you will be incredibly fortunate if you can squeeze 8, and i really mean sardine-type squeeze, 2 in front, 4 in 2nd row (one in, one out pattern, cannot be big-sized ones), 2 at 3rd row with legs bent.

 

Coming out, very likely will get muscle strain.

 

But it has roof aircon on 3rd row. And got park assist.

[Atrecord]

Hey guys...am leaning towards Thursday evening let me whatss app or SMS to all folks you sent me PM ;-) on final location...leaning towards Bedok road...some areas decently loghted so can see car & lim kopi later. the car fits x 6 full sized adults comfortably & i medium size..min seven seater hor see you then..pls PM so i can send confim when my schedules

 

Hope you guys have a good meet-up and pls share more pointers and pics of the cars. If can compare Noah vs Estima, lagi better...

 

Actually never seen much of Noah interior before.

 

how much space is there between the 3rd row seat and the tailgate huh? One concern I've always had is that there is no or not much space there. For the Wish i'm driving, when 3rd row seat is fully tilted for max comfort, the headrest when raised, is i think less than 1cm from the rear windscreen. Should someone be sitting there and there is rear collision, it is always going to be worrying. Such things hardly every happen, but cannot be predicted, so it's good to take precaution, as it's a safety issue.

squeeze 10 into ISIS?

That's what bro samfreak said he did on National Day to see fireworks, but he did say 2 of them are young kids.

 

I suspect my wish can also pull off the same stunt, with a bit more difficulty than the Isis. And i'm also sure none of the conti mid-sized MPVs can do this.

How abt Citroen c4 grand Picasso ?

Coming from a ex-owner point of view,it was a pretty good car in terms of pricing at that point of time when I bought it 5 years back with tonnes of feature which Japan car do not offer(huge moonroof/windscreen,cruise control,speed limiter etc)As long you can live with the higher fuel consumption,reliability issues and high maintainence costs and lower resale value,its a pretty good car to drive.When I bought the car,it was more of a buy now,worry later since it comes with a 3 years warranty.But never can I imagine the nightmare starts as soon as the warranty is over.Maybe I am just the unlucky one.

 

As for the newer diesel version,it seems that the car is packed with tonnes of features and electronics as well.You will just have to do a research to find out more.It is always never easy to decide which model to go for especially the ridiculous price we are paying for a car right now.My head tells me to go for a Jap car which is easy on maintainence but my heart says otherwise with all the features that conti car offers in terms of looks,electronics and safety etc.

 

You will just have to list down your priority in getting the suitable MPV(space,handling,consumption,price,comfort,features etc).You can argue till the cows come home and I am sure at the end of the day,you are still not sure which model to get,lol(just like me).

So which MPV are you driving now?

[Sevenseven]

 

So which MPV are you driving now?

Not driving any right now.Still deciding which model to go for .....

[Duckduck]

during the COE flood period, it was OK to buy PI cars coz there were lots sold so aftersales support is there as many workshops support them.

 

but now is the period of low COE quota so the PI car sales are much lower therefore if u must get PI, at least get 1 model which AD also brings in case u need local support IMO.

 

unless LTA stupidly repeats history n start another COE flood...

honestly i don't really care

 

i value my passenger safety more than trying to show that my MPV can carry more than its stated capacity
