R is really comfortable for driver and passengers... I never have problem falling asleep in em (not as driver of coz haa!) for long trip road traveling (when I was working overseas). The facelift for 2011 version makes it look sporty *drool*

Estima/Alphard/Vellfire are good considerations too and Estima have a hybrid version (FC 16 to 17/L).

Lemme know if you are keen for the above mentioned Japanese MPVs, I can get STAR's biz partner who deals these car to liaise with you.

Don't go for toyota's mpv. Me from w209 to acr50 estima n I sold it off barely 6 months.

All these mpvs from Toyota got a knocking sound. And it can't be cured!

U log in to their forum n u will know. It's a common prob. I spent time n money to solve n gave up after 6 months. Really hopeless case. And it's not isolated case, but general prob.

If budget allow, go for R la.

I know R class is nice but to spend 300k on a MPV a little sian leh....

Any other recommendations??

MPV buy Merc like waste money... merc must shiok shiok sedan or coupe ma... hehe...

odyssey think still best seller. but now odyssey at 160K is really crazy px... later cabrio to MPV wait culture shock also scared... hahahaha

ODC no power door, not really that fuctioning as a MPV imho.

buy sliding doors and make yourself really like driving and utilizing a MPV than buying ODC and sedan feel.

my wife and kids used to love the power door on estima. but the knocking sound from steering really pissed me off.
