I test drive the Grandis yesterday.

+surprisingly the 3rd row, I can sit comfortably. As I am 5 feet 10, and
the legroom is sufficient.

+Getting in and out is convenient as the floor level of Grandis is well
designed.

+The exterior design is a beauty, compare with Wish/Stream/Livina

-Only one thing is I can hear the engine sound when idling, or driving at
speed 90km/h.

-Plus the tyre sound is disturbing when on the road, I suspect maybe they
put a high air pressure or the tyre is thin type, of 17" rim

-And the black fabric cover for the seats is not my like, and attracts a
lot of dust.

Black is nice ^_^

Price 163,000 OTR, no discount.

Hi 127,

ETACS stand for "Electronic Time and Alarm Control System".

Good pickup.

have so called tiptronic (+ & - gear) to play around with

but if u select the manual +-, the gear will shift to final 5th gear. only
then u select gear postision with the gear.

Minus point: Meaning if u r in 3rd gear, and wanna go for 4th, u select
manual +-, the gear position is 5th, then u being down to 4th.

Low central gravity, good cornering.
