Toyota Noah Hybrid

If you are looking for a reliable car that last a long long time, Toyota will be the first name on the list. Honda has a great engine, Nissan has modern look, but Toyota gives you an overall package. An average value in every areas, such as the car appeal, engine performance, reliability, space availability, ease of folding chairs, access to the controls.

A car that will go on and on, maybe I can renew the COE, but depends on government policy.

My boys are happy with space availability, as I have upgraded from a sedan. The middle and back row space availability is great!

Fuel economy is also good. But the number will be clearer after 5,000 km servicing.

I've been driving since 2005, and every car I've owned has been a Toyota. I started with the Vios, then an upgraded Vios, followed by the Altis, Wish, Prius Plus, and now the Noah Hybrid Elegance.

I began looking for a mid?size MPV since beginning of the year to replace my previous car, as my family has grown and the kids are no longer small. I considered the BYD M6, Nissan Serena e?POWER, and Toyota Noah Elegance. In the end, we chose the Noah for its reliability, affordability, dependability, fuel efficiency, and especially its comfortable and easily configurable third?row seats.

I've owned it for about 20 days now. I drive roughly 55 km daily and have been achieving around 21-22 km/l, which pleasantly surprised me—it's even more fuel?efficient than my previous Prius Plus, and the car isn't fully run?in yet. Its start?stop performance on short trips is also better than the Prius Plus.

Of course, the pickup is slower compared to the Serena and Stepwgn, but it's still acceptable to me.

I'm very satisfied with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 and the 360° PVM. Although some people say the resolution isn't great, I find it perfectly fine. I do miss the Serena's dual tailgate and intelligent rear?view mirror, but I've learned to live without them.

Overall, I'm very happy with our new car.
