If you need a full-on eight seater with luggage space, the APV is hard to beat. The Avanza still feels like a 5+2 for me.

If you have a small family or will just probably leave the third seat folded most of the time, the Avanza will work well enough.

Personally, I'd take the Zuk in A/T form.

I guess it also helps that I have access to underground Suzuki Service and Suzuki Genuine Parts. Half the labor cost compared to the dealership but still via Suzuki Certified Mechanics and still with Suzuki Genuine Parts. Just a text away. You can even request that they bring their diagnostic computer to check the ECU.
