Mazda Biante

Spacious. For me, the highlight is the middle row. Can split up for easy access to the rear row, or can join together for 3 person to sit. Don't think there's another MPV with such a feature at this price range. Owned this car for 3 yrs. Durable workhorse. Didn't have to replace anything (yet) apart from regular servicing. FC about 10km/L, mixed driving. Quite decent for an MPV of this size. Considered the Toyota triplets from PI but chose this due to the customizable middle row. Love the freedom of having the aisle for most of the time, but still can close up the gap and carry 8 people when needed. Plus it's an AD model compared to PI, better piece of mind.... Read More

Bought it from used market, an impressive MPV attract by the outlook and interior, although it has an aging design since 2008, first launched at Asia market in 2014 but till date it still looks fresh. Sitting inside felt loving it, generous space comfibily for seven, eight could be squeezy (depend on passengers size), control panel placed not too far from the driver seat and easy reaching, passengers accessible from front to back row without opening the door move from outside. Handling : Great visibility, Easy to handle suitable for ladies to enjoy drive for ferrying kids with their big smile, so that mens can shake leg where else... The car is heavy, can feel the weight start from zero speed, may need to floor down the accelerator in order to feel the gravity. Suspension very comfy, Suay Suay Liap hump Da You Chiong Liao (small hump just acceleration and go over), be prepare to get screw up by passengers in high speed for big hump. Engine power might not be powerful, but Hey... This is not a sports car. Stupid I-Stop unable to disable permanently, each time got to off it manually for every start up if you do not wish to activate the features. Steering wheel and gear shift too close to each other, always hit the gear shift when i swing my hand, need to change my driving habit. Conclusion : No regrets for this selection, family quite happy with it. Fun to drive, good for long journey and adventure trip, spacious, quiet drive, tons of features. Fuel Consumption in average.... Read More
