Will E Vormer Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Need to buy a bigger car for growing family.. set a budget of 1.8M and will consider 'nearly new' secondhand. My shortlist so far is Honda CRX top spec (not sure which engine is best) Nissan XTrail (update on the way?) Err. That's it. Anything else to consider? I like the big Ford but its too bulky for my wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyTucker Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Honda CRX is a 2 seater sports car Honda CRV only has 5 x seats, not 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will E Vormer Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Sorry yes. CRV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shady86 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Try looking for imported Toyota Alphard. Crv and xtrail are not real 7 seaters. The 2 seats behind are for children. Alternately you can consider Toyota Innova, Nissan Elgrand or Serena. Only MPV are designed to seat 7 comfortably.

pgrahmm Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 It's going to need to be full sized vehicle to take 7 with luggage.... The Honda CRV's always appeared to me to be woefully under built..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyTucker Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Hi Will,For a SUV look at the Nissan X-trail, for MPV look at the Toyota Sienna, the Honda BRV and the Honda StepwagnSent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINIMIGLIA Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Pajero Sport best in class and not a stupid price. However none of the 7 seaters will allow much luggage.when all 7 seats are deployed. Edited July 4, 2017 by MINIMIGLIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inepto Cracy Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Very important to take into account here, is After Sales Service. Toyota is pretty good at this. My money would go to the Toyota Sienta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RikDao Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 We own a very nice Toyota Avanza which seats 7. It's a small SUV, but not too small. 1.5 engine, automatic transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4MyEgo Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Been doing a fair bit of research to buy a 7 seat vehicle, it was between the Isuzu Mu X and the Ford Everest, the latter is my choice as their after service wins hands down compared to Isuzu IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBOP Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Go for Isuzu MU-X or Mitsubishi Pajero for 7 seaters for best price, service and resale value. Ford Everest bigger in this class but depreciates very fast if you dont mind that. You can find some 2nd hand Isuzu MU-7 if dont mind 2nd hand.

hanbla Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 We have a Mitsubishi All New Pajero Sport. Bought it last year in end of September. Been driving about 15000 km without any problem. It has a lot of security equipment and in my opinion you get a lot for the money. It is very comfortable and I have been driving around in countryside and in the city. But as someone wrote, when using all 7 seats, it's not much space for luggage. But with 5 seats you have a lot of space. But I guess it's the same with all SUV's. I was comparing many different cars before buying and were nearly to buy an Everest but in my opinion it was not worth about 300' more. By that time it didn't even have a built in GPS.

Will E Vormer Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Thanks everyone. Yes my first choice was buying a full spec year old Everest as the depreciation is phenominal(1.2m). Sadly veto'd My wife keeps mentioning the Toyota Innova so will look at that this wknd. The Xtrail. Ticks all boxes except a very important one, esp in a country with highest road death toll. No mid row airbags.. So off the list, unless the refresh remedies this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the Innova then also have a look at the Honda Mobillo for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mobilio only has a 1.5 but the innova has either a 2.0 petrol or a detuned 2.8 diesel from the fortuner. They would be quite different to drive.

newnative Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Any opinions on the new Fortuner? I've got 4 sisters visiting in September and my partner and I plan to rent a 7 seater--but not sure which model yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
