  14 Jul 04, 10:43

  Hi All
  
  Planning to buy a MPV very soon.
  
  I have narrow down only to the following choices:
  Nissan Prarie (currently at $94,000)
  Toyota Picnic ($100,98 and
  Honda Stream 2.0L ($97,000)
  
  Would appreciate if you could assist with your comments on:
  
  a. Fuel Consumption for the above,
  b. Comfort for 4 to 7 paxs
  c. Noise and Power of MPV
  d. Resale value or Value for $
  
  Thanks in advance

  Hi Victorco
  
  Thanks for your prompt suggestion.
  
  Are you driving a Wish? What are your comments on it and reason why did not consider Wish is due to PI? Concern about maintenance. How much is the Wish?
  
  Thanks

  Hi All
  
  Thanks for the feedback. I know the Honda Odyessy is great but unfortunately it is above my budget (< $100,000). Thus only looking at either the Prarie, Stream of Picnic.
  
  So Pals, please give me your opinion based on the three models, ok? Don't tempt me, please.
  
  Thanks again

  Worth to consider TOYOTA WISH 1.8A, now selling @ around $90K
  
  Fuel Consumption about 13KM/L. better than PICNIC
  
  Better space than Stream
  
  Very popular on the road already.......

  the picnic is good ... if you want one better go BM and clintch the deal soon because Picnic is NO LONGER being produced .... i wanted to get from the PI the Ipsum and they told me that the model is no longer avaliable .... now my family got to decide between Wish or the Odyssey

  go for the wish. in singapore u dont need a big bufferla to drive. u wont ferry 8pple always that why getting it will waste of your fuel and your roadtax. unless u everyday also ferry more then 5 then getting that bufferla is good if not wish is more then enough. can sit 6 nicely for long distance.
  
  onli the 3 roll abit small for tall pple more then 1.8m but i think singaprore seldom got this height like mine 1.98m so not a problem for wish.

  Hi All,
  
  Thanks for all the fine feedback.
  
  Bunny2002 is right and yup, Honda Odessey and Mitisbitsu Grandis are all way above my budget. I admit great cars but........
  
  Now it seemed to boil down to Nissan Prarie, Toyota Picnic and now Toyota Wish although worry about the PI issue on Wish.
  
  Concern about the parts and equipment they used and especially on the training of the serviceman.
  
  Once again, what say you all on either three above?
  
  Many thanks again

  Not to be racist or anything but the grandis looks like a maly celebrating hari raya with his tail lights.
