AD confirmed no more Stream n as for PI I'm quite sure none as well. Yes Wish is more spacious n a very good mid sized MPV which I also recommended in the MPV thread. So good choice. Don't think Kah will bring in the Jade. It looks better than the Mobilio albeit 2nd row is 2 individual seats.

Freed another option for good MPV, size wise quite decent and handling pretty good

Agree although abit van like to my liking. A lot of buyers with elderly bought Freed cos it's very elderly friendly. Easy access esp for those with back problems n weak legs.

And sliding doors very good for tight parking spaces

Just to add on to my earlier point on Mobilio's lack of traction control.

Mobilio has ABS with EBD which is a standard safety feature for most cars and should be sufficient for those braking and swerving to avoid a cat on the road kind of scenario, where you want to brake evenly to a stop.

 

Traction control only helps to minimise understeer in hard cornering which is nice to have but probably not as essential in a MPV which is driven mildly.

 

So from a gentle usage point of view probably the Mobilio's safety feature is sufficient.

 

Just to clarify in case people think I'm putting Mobilio down unfairly.

Rear is drum brake!

 

Surprisingly, even seats can't be adjusted at mid n last row, it still has reasonable leg room. Best feature for this car has to be ceiling mounted rear AC, not just blower, n very gd headroom. Let down will b 4-spkrs, drum brake, n safety feature like above.

Anyone knows what's the difference between the deluxe and basic models?

Heard first batch of Mobilio has landed!

Should be able to test drive soon.

Congrats! Post some pics and review here!

[T711]

Collected car on 31 March, so far,very happy with it. can seat 5 adults and 1 child comfortably. FC so far approx 13km/l.

 

With the back seating two, the boot could even accomodate a foldable bicycle and a small scooter (for my son).

 

Mobilio has decent pick up, aircon is nice and powerful. would rate car about 4/5.

 

Good small/medium MPV!

Congrats! Happy to hear your good review. How's the ride and noise level?

From overseas review, it had a firm but pliant ride. The noise insulation not as good with engine noise intruding.

Hope to hear your comments on these.

Thanks.

No issue with the noise whatsoever, everyone who has sat in my car says its comfortable. they like the aircon is the 2nd row.

Thanks for sharing!

My wife has been 'worrying' about how this Mobilio will be like ever since we booked it without test driving.

Glad to read a local review from you.

 

Going for any paint protection?

 

I'm thinking of either CS2 or Revo's ceramic pps when I collect mine.

Do not use car shampoo to wash your new car or car wah. Top up your bucket with clean water. Splash it and wipe down.

DIY.

2 to 3 months later. Use Autoglym Car Shampoo, Auto Wax and Micro fabric cloth to maintain your car exterior.

Do not forget your new car interior. Remember to use clean floor with dettol to wipe your car floor map.

Orlando last row quite bad. Sitting position is uncomfy.

Well the last row will be used for kids anyway. None of the last rows are what I call comfy for adults.

 

The Orlando is the widest and tallest and most solid built. Only thing is not sure about reliability. Consumption sure highest due to weight.
