    EDIT: Pero mas bagay sa yo yung VW Touran kung MPV. Dagdagan mo ng P1M yung budget mo. hehehe. We were loaned a test unit for one weekend a few weeks ago and although it is pricey for an MPV, it's solid and a good family hauler that doesn't catch too much attention.
    Come to think of it, was looking at the Touran and Tiguan a few weeks ago. I told myself, this would be for the wifey once she changes her current ride, hehe. At this time though, its way over budget for a strike anywhere car, hehe.

    Anyway, how about a 2009 Previa? Fuel consumption may be a pain though.

    I like the simplicity and solid feel of the VWs we test drove over several weekends (Touran, Beetle and Tiguan). The Touran doesnt have much height as compared to an Innova but slap on nice rims and it's good.

    For the Previa, if you can find one in good condition (first owned, relatively low mileage), why not? FC should be 5-6km/L in the city AFAIK. Parts might not be as easily available though, save for the engine which shares the same block as a Camry 2.4L. If you get one, it's a 6 year old vehicle so you may have to do some general repairs and service to ensure reliability. Practicality will still go to the Innova or an MS/Fort/Everest.
