thailoneus Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterw42 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Avanza isn't really an SUV, its a little wagon/people mover. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruit Trader Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmaxdan Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you have an odd shaped bum will not come into what the ride for the majority was designed for.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAKAPALITA Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 So they were not made for comfort, I must get my Bum redesigned to suit a piece of Plywood covered in Plasticy Leather.

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...

I had a 4 door D Max and the rear seat was perfectly comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujayujay Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogandave Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Buy a Suzuki Carry and put benches in the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacessit Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
