Pakiusap lang at wag mo i-flood ang thread with xpander hype/fanboi-ism para maganda naman ang usapan.

BTT:
2000 units ang pre-ordered xpanders na sa atin. I think mababa sya? What do u guys think?
Siguro yung iba ay standby mode to see it in the flesh and yung iba wait mode din to iron out early model wrinkles

Good point, bro! No need for all the fanatic support for such affordable MPVs. There is really nothing exciting about similar vehicles like the Ertiga, Spin, Mobilio, BRV, Xpander, Avanza, or Rush. They are meant to be all-around small and fuel efficient family vehicles.

A more honest review from owners is highly appreciated. No car is perfect and there will always be better, more comfortable, and quicker/faster vehicles other than your ride.

Ito yung mga nakapagtest drive na...

""Elmer Chua
Mga bossing! Pasensya na po sa mga may BRV... nai-test drive ko po both... Sa 45° na paahon 1500rpm iaakyat ka na ng XPANDER unlike BRV 2000rpm medyo bitin pa. Sa rough road naman kay XPANDER para kang nasa SUV di mo halos maramdaman yung lubak-lubak na daan, kay BRV masyado matagtag. Sa steering naman mas swabe pa rin ang XPANDER ang lambot sarap i-drive para ka lang naglalaro. Sa looks naman mas futuristic ang XPANDER ang angas na dating. Pero nasa driver pa rin yan, kahit gaano kaganda sasakyan mo kung "asshole" ka naman magdrive wala rin kwenta..."

"Mike Floresca Nag test drive ako ng xpander at brv dyan kahapon. All in all sa xpander ako. Pag dating sa humps na track medyo binilisan ko on both vehicles swabe sa xpander sa brv na alog ako, pati si misis nagtaka may ganung track daw pala kasi sa xpander ndi nya naramdaman. Responsive yung sa expander onting tapak sa acceleration mararamdaman mo kaagad ung pag rev ng engine, maganda pag kaka tweak nila kahit sbhin mong old style 4at engine siya. Sa steering wheel mas magaan ang xpander. Sa interior medyo mas angat lng ng onti si brv dahil nka leather seats kung ipapa leather mo xpander sa labas okay na. Hindi ko lng gusto yung looks ng shift stick ng brv ang simple masyado pero dashboard sa brv mas mgnda. Sa mga storage sa xpander kasi madami. Sa luwag ng 3rd and 2nd row parehas lang sa brv. Exterior looks sa xpander ako kasi mas bulky tignan and mas maganda tlga. This is my personal review on brv and xpander"

Itest drive nyo kasi... LOL!

Di nga maganda yung nakadisplay sa Calasiao, yung puti, maybe because di bagay sa kulay ng Xpander ang puti tapos yung nakadisplay GLS Sport na pangit yung may airdams.

Kaya it's better to see the actual color of the unit before committing, yung iba kasing sasakyan di bagay sa ibang color, but it's subjective though sa owner, some like it some not.

This is not the place for fanboys and hard selling. Go find somewhere else to do that.

Yung isang friend ko rush yung gusto nya dahil sa looks... it’s really depend talaga kung ano priority nila, might be on looks, space, height, toys and etc.

For me the Xpander and Rush are on the "big size" 7 seater MPV. For the usual 7 seater MPVs like BRV, Avanza, Mobilio and Ertiga, I liked the riding comfort of the Ertiga and with a more elegant interior. The best part is I still got it below 800K.

[AllenR]

Sa Rob Calasiao? That was the one they were driving out of the showroom when I visited Mitsubishi Dagupan hehe.

What turned you off? Not premium enough compared to the CRV?

Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Yup, Rob Calasiao hehe. Yes, it lacks "premium-ness", if that makes sense. From the sound of the doors closing, the cockpit materials, etc. I was comparing it to my current car, which is not really fair to the Xpander, but I don't care about fairness since I'll be the one who will be stuck with it.

[AllenR]

Parang ang laki sa mga pictures then maliit pala pag actual na makita?

Heard alanganin daw for 3 full-sized adults yun 2nd row seat?

Disclaimer:
Not planning to get one, napasali lang sa hype.

The size was OK, acceptable na siya sa akin. Other factors, like the lack of a "wow" factor, or maybe it just does not fit my taste.

[AllenR]

photogenic lang?
plain jane in real life?

That's what it felt like. Parang nakakita ka ng Playboy bunny in the flesh and thought "meh, di pala ***y"

The Civic does tend to spoil you. I don't think any of these sub-1M budget MPVs will satisfy that taste for a more upscale feel. I'm happy to report that the CRV feels even more premium, not to mention more spacious. [emoji6]

Only thing I don't l don't like is that they took out the remote engine start and the auto up/down function of the passenger window, both of which are already present on the cheaper Civic.

Yeah, I took my uncle's CRV (gas) for a spin a few months ago, and it felt very premium. I liked the front seats, I found them to be very supportive and comfortable. I will miss the remote start feature, though, especially on hot days.

There is a reason why these MPVs are cheaper than compacts and CUVs. If manufacturers fitted them as good as compacts and CUVs, they will be more expensive. Case in point are the more expensive small crossovers - CX3, HRV, and XV.

Sayang yung 2nd generation na kia carens, maganda sana yun but sobrang mahal, sana if they priced it right, maganda sana un.

Yep, maganda nga yung 2nd gen Carens. It has that same feel inside like a Sportage and it looks like a smalller Carnival. The turbo diesel engine is a plus. However, at around 1.4 to 1.5M, it is PPV price territory already.

Which one has the better interior? ... the 2017 Mazda CX-5 or 2018 Honda CR-V? ...

I find the CR-V's interior more inviting. But that's just me.
