Drove the 3.5 ZA G-Edition to Malaysia which belongs to my uncle and it was a really good experience. The Vellfire was packed with lots of features such as powered and memory seats for both driver and passenger which were very convenient. The long wheelbase of the Vellfire allows passengers in the second and even third row to have ample of leg room. The third row is suitable for adult since it has a large leg and head room unlike many other MPVs which have tiny third row space which is better off with small children.
Although the car is huge and heavy, the 3.5 L NA V6 engine was more than sufficient to power it. It was such a joy to floor it on the highway in Malaysia. I would recommend this variant if budget isn't an issue and you want a powerful full size MPV. Overall the opulent comfort and engine of the car made the trip to Malaysia even better.
Went to Borneo Last weekend with my group of friends to test drive this Monster. We are all car enthusiasts and we all previously owned the 2008 registered Audi S5. Now that our cars are expiring, we would like to experience the Luxury and Premium MPVs available.This car towers at 1895mm. This car is indeed one of the tallest MPVs around here. This probably means that this car may not even be able to fit into the older HDB Car Parks. This is a really big issue because I go to my Grandma's Old HDB flat really often and would definitely need parking. With this car, I probably would need to walk a little further than usual. After the test drive, some of us booked this unit while the others booked the Kia Stinger, Mazda 6 and Mazda CX9 with one or two returning to Premium Motors to purchase the new Audi SQ5. I was one of them who went back to continental quality for several reasons.
This is the 2nd Vellfire I've owned. It indeed is a car fit for a king. The comfort which no one complains. The FC of the new one is definitely better than the older one. The one I own is the 3.5 V6 version. The torque is great. Clear meter on NSHW of 180km/h with eyes closed. Handling wise, cant say much since it's pretty much tall. But I think with strut bars and TRD Sportivo suspension, should be much better.
