Faults:

So far so good, but the ride could be improved.

General Comments:

I bought this car reconditioned from Japan, costing RM150000 OTR. I am impressed with the luxury and the ride, except it's a bit bumpy sometimes. The car is spacious and can fit 8 people in 3 rows. Nice for a road trip with friends. Has comfortable seats, cool air conditioning and feel luxurious.

Pros:

Luxurious, comfortable and spacious

Cons:

High gas consumption, blind sight is obvious and higher road tax l, underpowered for a 2.4. This has been expected and I should bear with it.

Will update you after 40k km.

General Comments:

This is not my car actually. I took a trip at my friend's Alphard. I am very disappointed with the ride quality. Road noise is very clear to hear, cabin noise isolation is awful (it's like the window is being opened), seating position is uncomfortable, disappointing legroom for a big car.

Don't get me wrong, this car is pretty expensive in my country due to import cost, it costs around $70,000. I would rather buy the Hyundai H-1, which only costs around $40,000 and it's much more comfortable and it's more spacious. The Alphard is too overpriced and uncomfortable. Plus the sat/nav is written in Japanese letters, which is useless.

The only thing that you get from this car is prestige, as it's usually only upper class people who can afford this car in my country. But if you want a real comfortable car, go get the Hyundai.
