Review
Good to drive, like a workhorse. Bigger room and a bigger boot. Fuel Consumption. Price is reasonable minus off COE.

What I like
6 air bags, bigger space, smooth transmission and engine. 7 speed CVT is good but not sure how long can it last.

What I do not like
No steering control which i think it should come as basic. It is a safety feature that will keep your eyes on the road and not on the HU. Should have a better spec model to choose from just like the Honda Stream and Stream RSZ.
with a car this heavy, option to choose 1.8 dual disc or like the PI 1.8S. 15" rims is way too small, a Vios is light but a Wish is so heavy and can ferry more people, how can the car stop in time with full load.

Review
Comfortable,quiet, smooth engine.
good accelertion.
I feel the older model is slightly bulkier and heavier.

What I like
Everything is fine with me. Spacious and good fuel comsumption.
During driving to K.L. going to 150 kmh accelertion no problem.
better than the old NFL wish model 06.
You have slightly lighter feeling when driving this car.
With 6 adult passengers inside the pick up is good.
No regret buying.
I would recommend for those looking at mpv that have spacious interior and fuel comsumption.

What I do not like
The original tyre is small 15 inch. Should gave a bigger tyre.

Review
I have several criteria when it comes to buying my next car. It will be a mid-sized MPV that can seat 7 people with reasonable comfort (adequate leg space) and the ride should not be too firm (since i have young kids travelling with me). The MPV must have one of the best fuel efficient engines for that category with smooth gear changing mechanism. I have test driven the Toyota Wish and other makes and I must say that overall, the Wish is it! It may not be the best in appearance (interior or exterior) but it definitely offers the best value for the price.

What I like
Comfortable ride
Good handling
Good fuel efficiency
Good size for small/medium family

What I do not like
Interior and exterior style and material (hard plastics) is not much improvement over the previous Wish version.

Review
This is a continuation for the 05 TOYOTA wish, with the new technology CVT gear box and greater fuel economy. I will say this car will have alot of customer.

What I like
Price tag and technology in engine and gear box

What I do not like
Rear without LED look like backdated.

The most sensible buy for an MPV

Review
The Toyota Wish remains the clear winner in the category for MPV capable of carrying 7, which typically includes 2 children. So this category is best termed as 5+2. The ride is quite vibrant with its spirited engine output and cabin quality is adequate to reduce noise to a comfortable level. The exterior styling could be improved though (the facelift does not convey a distinct character of the car).
It's closest competitor looks better in the exterior but suffers from poorer noise insulation and doors shut vibration does not convey a good sturdiness unlike the sure-tightness of the Wish's doors.
The more upright position of the seats are also more comfortable for the some passengers such as the elderly. Overall it should reign the crown for 5+2 MPV for some years to come until its competitor comes up a better value proposition.

What I like
Build quality, manageable cabin noise and engine response.

What I do not like
Uninspiring exterior facelifted styling. The cheap 'leather' feel.
