agree wif u matrixer.. if i can afford 98k i too will go for carens..
more spacious than matrix.

paksu72.. mine blue too.. prepare too wash it regularly because it easily
look dusty eventhough its not raining.. mine i wash it every 3 days. fuel
consumption so far 10km/liter for town driving without any mod yet. not
bad ah for 1.3tonnes car.

yeongsheng congrat on your purchase.. you will love every bit of it. but
the NVH is not up to my expectation. i can hear wind noise when cruising
above 80kmh. i will put window visor and hope that will solve the problem.
on highway i can still hear the tyre rolling and sometimes it quite
irritating. i already change my tyre to GY Ducaro GA. the stock kumho tyre
lagi teruk dia punya bising. maybe some sound-proofing around mudguard
area will stop the noise entering the cabin. i think at this area nissan
is the best

when cruising on highway at 140kmh i can feel the car very stable even
when taking corner at high speed. maybe because of the car weight factor.
but when i try to overtake car on normal road, i mean not on highway i can
feel the engine sluggish. its feel that the engine trying so hard to find
the exact gear to get the power.

other than that i'm very satisfied with the car. you would be surprise
that the car can easily climbing the slope on the karak highway. who said
the car takda power naik bukit. hehe.. turun bukit you just have to
enggage the OD button. no need to press the brake. you can feel the grip..
very satisfied.

overall the car very comfort for long journey and even for city driving.
believe me with the high sitting position you don't even want to drive the
normal saloon car after this.

thanks mimanso for your reviews... if the origin rim 14" no has not much
problem during high speed and during down road hill i think don't want to
change to 15". Hope that origin rim already can stabilzed the car during
high speed.

any high vibration for rear passenger? like kembara a lot of noise and
vibration.

Hi paksu,

stock 14" rim is just fine even during high speed, but I will change mine
to 15" once I have enough $$$$, just for the sporty look only, hehee.
High vibration for rear passenger?? No such problem in my matrix.

So, when will you get your car?
