Review
Practical, spacious and good build for people transportation for a mid-size MPV. Most importantly it carries the Toyota brand = reliable
What I like
- quality build internally -made in japan lay
- lots of new features i.e. start/stop, keyless, etc
- aircon vent across 3 rows
- sliding door, and good insulation
- side door configuration open for the boot
- spacious and comfortable for 8 persons
- leather seat locally fitted
- it's Toyota, count on its reliability
- decent OMV - 25k
- 2l - cheaper road tax than 2.4l, and fuel consumption
What I do not like
- super rectangular looking car
- no auto tailgate for the boot
- the various cables that link the boot to the rest of the car is pertruding at the back of the boot, which makes the quality looks cheap and ugly
- drum brake (old technology)
- PI maintained, no frills

Review
Cannot believe its been 3 months since i owned this....just like to share latest thoughts on the car so far. Have raised stars in most review from my first.
Car has been faultless so far.
Consumption is now averaging 12-13KM per litre....yes this 2.0 Ltr car is really sipping petrol!
Met up with a long time lost friend who recently bought a WISH...he was completely floored. What he paid was similar to what I did but his personal feeling was i got at least 2 times of a car more...just of space, new technology, bell& whistle
He asked me about the support from PI thingy & i told him pretty much the same from anywhere else
Car's platform/engine is a RAV4, (Borneo is selling), Toyota harrier (PIs are selling) spares are't an issue given you usually change engine oil ATF spark plugs etc which are easily available locally, when you hit 5 years or 150Km there about, you can easily order from Toyota stockist the parts needed..like suspension or engine mounting etc...if there aren't any locally
What I like
# traction control
# VSC- vehicle stability control
# Start stop engine (no wasted idling)
#LED headlights
#7 full adult size seats all rows ample space
#reasonably priced compared to Estima or Wish ..Alphard differnt league but if you get the accessories...you could save $$$

#ride comfort, suspension, firm comfortable ride
# factory Built in window shades for middle row
#Space Space space
#middle control console dash/ informing of consumption, a/c controls, controlled by steering wheel buttons
#Petrol consumption -great for a 2 tonne 2 liter car
#Responsive ....very responsive
#Power slide door both sides
#Easy access for my primary school kids, easy access for my 80 year old dad
What I do not like
# lack of re-sellers in Singapore...i didn't shop around or do too much homework when i purchased mine so probably would have gotten an even better deal struggled with my deal & my promised visors & scruff plates not delivered!

Review
Recently upgraded my Isis to the 2014 Noah. Difference is day & night.The car's comfort level is far superior than my previous ride, it's a 2014 model & has all bell's & whistles. using the relatively new Valvematic engine http://paultan.org/2007/06/13/toyota-reveals-valvematic-technology/
I am getting 12 KM to 1 litre..engine is quiet,,unlike my previous ride...it's super CVT & really dun feel or hear gears doing their magic.
A lot of new tech in the Car.
1. Start Stop engine,
2. Centre electronic console to inform you what fuel efficiency car is doing, control aircon, control idling.
3. Car has rear air con with temp control 3. Space is HUGE & room...you just feel comfort
4. Excellent view from the cockpit...my old Isis had a terrible view due to a-pillars...no more near misses for this car...i can see much more clearly
5. Plenty plenty of of secret compartment, drink compartments & floor room...yes leave bags, laptop bags on the floor & still feel comfort
6. LED!!
7. Touch open doors
8. Remote controlled left & right door opening!
9.Keyless ignition
10. My wife feel confident driving this despite its huge appearance
I could go on ...the car has blown me away!
Coming from an Isis 1.8..this feels like a huge upgrade...i expect the same Toyota reliability & am pleased to know that the engine is same one they are using in the Rav 4, Harrier 2014 Grand, & couple of others...spares not too much an issue.
I really enjoy the plush suspension & was surprised to hear that ,my colleague who has a 6 year old Noah...said her rise comfort similar to my car...so i look forward to this car aging with grace!
its great value for money...i compared against Estima, Alphard/vellfire
Bang for buck..i bought this car when COE was high BUT i think comparing with Estima...2.4 litre old engine, last year revamp ..& $20K more...i decided to give it a miss...the Alphards were out of budget & thanks fully so...looking at the design...betll's & whistle i get from the Noah..i feel satisfied...at the luxury i get with Noah at the price i pay..of course is $$ not an issue...
The choice between Estima was fairly easy as the new Noah is using valvematc engine, plenty of bells whistle etc & cost fairly less

What I like
Excellent value for $$ at this price range, if this is an upgrade car & you won a Wish, isis you will not be dissapointed...
Those buying Estima, give it a second glance...taste is personal & my taste actually prefer the boxy look compared to Estima's curves...if you are impartial & do not HATE the boxy design...you should consider this car
OMV is decent for the Car @ approx $25K
What I do not like
High COE which dropped later!!!
Some hassle with the purchase...that included missing my promised visors & extras...only to be told it's so new not available...disappointing
Do your homework on selling your current wheel...i did not do too much so probably lost a few thousand on that & also the unpredictable COE...but joy the car brings is....a nice pill to forget!
Review
Bought 8 seater petrol 2L version. OPC.
high parf value = min parf is about 14.5k which translate to 8.9k depreciation a year for OPC car and 10.5k deprreciation for normal plate...
no where else can you get such reliablilty (FL mode - pre FL model has Torque Converter issues that affect the CVT) for such a low depreciation.
the car is noisy, no doubt about it as it's big and cheap.
What I like
space
reliablity
smooth 2L proven engine
no hybrid battery or whatsoever. Just simple petrol engine.
8 seaters
for its weight and size, it's fuel efficient ((about 11-12km per L)
What I do not like
rear drum brake = seriously??
3 airbags only...seriously???
noisy....
no spare tyre - only repair kit
start stop feature - hate this crap
only available thru PI..i hate to deal with PI....
