Hi all,

i'm looking for a suv and this one fits my requirement especially the price. i do expect the resale value wont be that great due to the brand.
However my main concern is maintenance and spare parts - are they easily available ? cant afford to have my car stuck at SC waiting for parts from Japan....

Thanks.
had a short test drive just now at Jln Kuching.... engine a bit tight/harsh (odo reading only 17km), suspension quite hard....
V406198, from your post you said the suspension gets better after few k km running in?
Apart from using this car for normal house to office drive, it will also be used for balik kampung trip (KL - Penang) once a month for 2 adults + 3 kids. thus, comfort is key too.... need to think again....sigh...
