I also tested a few time. I loved it. But now no budget to feed this "honey"

Pros:
1. Improved quality. Fairly good designed, balance shaped body
2. Good undercarriage, easy maneuvering, nice to drive in town or even outstation
3. 1.5, 3SZ-VE, DOHC, 16V EFI, Timing Chain, DVVT. Nothing to expect more with low price MPV. Sufficient to move the box
4. Not much high tech gadget, all basic that we need for daily usage. Expected will lower overall maintainance.
5. Cheap roadtax & insurance rate such a entry level MPV.

Cons:
1. 90% local content, some parts might out of QC such as rubber, plastics item and so on...
2. Battery too small, NS40 only
3. Third row seats for small adult or kids only
4. Not gate shift like passo sette

Overall was par to standard, all we need as a 5 seater and 7 seater occasionally. It was a great sedan replacement. Nothing can critics cause that's the cheapest MPV people can afford in Malaysia.
