HALO Matrixer,

Well.....I`m slightly older than you & NOT yet married
AND I drive a Trajet.

Crazy....isn`t it.

Many of my friends say that I`m out of my mind. I don`t fully filled up my
Trajet too as I come from a very small size family. They say I should be
getting a 2 door coupe i/o a full size MPV.

I like my Trajet b`coz it has a lot of advantages (i.e. height, spacey,
comfort, good for long distance driving & etc....)

So, matrixer.....it`s individual preferance. No one has the right to say
what car you should drive. Heck! In fact I was eyeing the Matrix 1.8 last
year before I got the Trajet. It`s a beautiful car. Be happy with it.


Best Regards,
Khoo Smile

Hi Khoo, nice to hear from you again. How is you Trajet? I guess you still
enjoying it right. Agree with you, height, spacey and comfort is really a
killer factors, once you're use to it you just can't go back to good 'O
sedan car anymore. Driving should be fun wat, not to stress oneself
especially during long distant driving. I can drive all the way to K.L
without even to single stop rest and at the end still getting there fresh
as new and ready for action. Try to do it in sedan and you'll get
exhausted easily.

Hi Khoo,

Wow, still single driving a Trajet already..Shock, anyway I 100% Agree with
u , as long as I feel comfort with the car then just enjoy it, don't care
what other people talk about.

@mimanso
Yes, I like black color a lot, but guess what I have to wash my car every
2 days Frown and scratches easily spot. fuel consumption quit high about
8km/liter, anyway to improve it??

Hi CHTan,

Yep! That is what a MPV is for.....Multi Purpose. It can suit to your
every needs. It's a dream come thru for persons like us. You can enjoy it
in everyway that you want.


Hi Matrixer,

Hah! Even you oso surprised. Told you right? Well, I'm the kind of person
that admires the functionality of a MPV & do not believe that a MPV is
only for carrying people or family members. It is soooo flexible that you
can convert it into a mini room. Big Smile
BUT the best part is when I go shopping with my parents or GF, seeing some
shoppers trying to fit so many things into their car & pushing all the
things in. I'm glad that I've got a vehicle that can fit every shopping
items that I buy. It's GREAT!
So....no need for me to have a family to get a MPV. It's sooo useful!

Enjoy your Matrix.


Best Regards,
Khoo Smile

My wife also like Matrix after I bring her to the showroom. Now I just
wait after the budget today want to booking...

Just want to ask and share with all of you has a Matrix... How comfortable
passenger at the rear? Anybodies change rim 14" to 15" and what is the
side effect of car performance?

Lastly what is the cost for every servicing; not include the engine oil,
just for tuning, air filter , oil filter, spark plug and others related
common items

Thanks...
