2.5GLS CRDi VGT Royale (2012)
Bought new, Owned for 2 Years
Fuel Economy: 7.5 km/litre (13.3 L/100 km), Diesel, Mileage: 1,200 km/month
very spacious, good for parents with kids (I used to bring my kids around with their grandparents and there are still plenty of space to move around in the car)
2.5L with turbo, the engine gives you enough power and you won't feel the weight of the car much
fuel efficiency was good
seats are soft and comfortable
reverse and front camera was given as standard (very useful in parking this huge car)
car recorder is given too
the reason why i bought Starex instead of Vellfire is because it's a brand new car, 5 years warranty given
diesel engine gives you the typical diesel noise
engine noise is disturbing to the driver and front passenger
the injector (to be exact, 2 injectors) of the engine broke down in 9 months after i used (but warranty was given to replace new ones)
Oil filter gets blocked 1 month after the latest service (warranty given does not cover this)
the DRL at wing mirror irritates motorist at both sides
comfort level is way below Alphard or Vellfire
To improve
better engine
more comfortable seats
Yes, I would recommend this car
