I would like to purchase a new suv type vehicle in the 600k baht price range. 

Your recomms would be most appreciated.

Any views on the Toyota Avanza?

[Peterw42]

Avanza isn't really an SUV, its a little wagon/people mover.

Bob hope & no hope, visit dealers and see what's available for your budget.

Not everyone views sports utility vehicles the same way. TATA have a 4x4 drop-side for 560K which I am sure would satisfy those not bothered about passenger comfort.

The Toyota Avanza is technically classed as and MPV (Multi Purpose Vehicle). It is actually designed by Daihatsu and then marketed by Toyota. I think the only other car currently sold in Thailand that is comparable in size and price would be the Suzuki Ertiga. 

 

A word of warning. If you do consider buying a 7 seater MPV type car don't seat anyone you actually care about in the fold down rear seats. Anyone seated here is sitting directly in the rear crumple zone of the vehicle. You wouldn't want to be sitting there if you were get rear ended.

Perhaps you have an odd shaped bum...But if you have big feet you may have a ploblem getting in and out of a Dmax, not so in a Vigo....

Then I think you have no idea about what rides are designed for...

 

Price doesn't come into anything other than what a ride was designed for...

 

Just because you have an odd shaped bum will not come into what the ride for the majority was designed for....

[HAKAPALITA]

 So they were not made for comfort, I must get my Bum redesigned to suit a piece of Plywood covered in Plasticy Leather. Now i understand the purpose, fit, and function. Thank Leo that trucks aint made by Boeing.

I didn't say that, I was referring to your bum ploblem and what a truck was designed for...

 

You mention Boeing. now they do cater for folk like yourself with odd shaped bums, it is called "Business Class or First Class"...In these seats you can squidge about for hours to get your bum spread out to an optimum comfort level....But am sure you know that...

Are you sure it wasn't a 2 door with the rear bench seat? I had a 4 door D Max and the rear seat was perfectly comfortable.

I’m guessing his bum stays sore...

[ujayujay]

For 600k Baht you better buy a new Mazda 2 High connect 1,3l. Compare to all this bumpy Pickups, MPVs and socalled SUVs I had, very confortable with low maintenace cost, drives economic with 1lt E20 for 20km. 

[mogandave]

Buy a Suzuki Carry and put benches in the back

[Lacessit]

OP,  with that budget you can buy a nice Mazda 2 with all mod cons, and park it easily.

My free entertainment at the shopping malls is watching fat-arsed pickups and SUV's attempting to reverse into a parking space. Combine their size with average Thai driving skills, and it's a comedy of errors.

TATA must be the new Trabant version of former east Germany.
