This is the best car for family and long distance driving. Stability, weight, and design play an important role in the wind cut. Well, you can't aspect much to be at top speed as you will end up in the drain!... Read More

Choosing a MPV for a family is always not easy. The father wants horsepower, the wife wants comfort, the children wants fun. Alas, this is the most proven MPV in the market. What else can I asked for? The new Estima got the looks! The new bumper looks so much futuristic than all earlier generations. The DRL is super cool and makes the fog lights (not found in this new generation of Estima) looks ancient. The HID LED headlights also add to the cool factor while the 18 inch tire and rims are not only for cosmetic purpose but they serve this hippo very well on the roads. The new Estima has also dropped the Aeras badge on her butt. I am not complaining though. Just make sure that you got the right model description on your purchase agreement when you sign. Moonroof, sunroof and dual power sliding doors make the passengers very happy. However, in our kind of climate, the moon and sun roofs will not garner many fans. The same old 2.4 2AZ-FE engine is trustworthy and it can definitely work for you for the next 10 years.The CVT transmission is so seamless that you do not mind how many speeds are available. Cabin sound proofing is above average and making the ride comfy and quiet. Second row seats are the best in the house. Lots of levers to keep the passengers busy to customize the seating positions best suited for them. For the driver, the odometer display has an array of information for you to toggle. Just remember to get your Google translator app handy so that you can take a photo to translate into English. The driver has lots of fun here, the electric seat, cruise control, and not forgetting the Toyota Safety Sense. This comes with the lane departure alert, auto high beam and pre-collision alert. Lots of storage space for your knick-knack, cup holders and mug holders are available for the 4 passengers in the first 2 rows. Importantly, air con is very strong (too cold). No sweat when riding!... Read More
