【买车成长记】请教买车的问题：最好6座+

不甘心，是把

总想找个理由把它pass掉，不过客观讲它的确是实力派。

今天跟同事聊了一下，他对车比较感兴趣，但好像从没有用绝对尺寸衡量过，莫非偶成了“三围控”？

还好你不是对女人的身材这么在意

看 Rolia 上讨论的团购价 很吸引人 oddesy 2010= MSRP - 9000.
Sienna= MSRP - ????.

咱村里也能整一个不？多少算“团”？嗯，还需要一位像牛奶同志一样的砍价大牛，如果可能，或者特请牛奶本尊出山？o(^_^)o

个人感觉如果只有一个孩子，老人不常坐的话，mazda5性价比最好。但若有四个人常出远门，它有点小。但我们家领导也觉得SIENNA，ODYSSEY，GRAND CARAVAN都有点太大。同样的苦恼。

 

[西西妈]

俺是觉得两口子加俩小孩MAZDA5是很好的选择，老人来时把小孩们塞后排也够用。尤其具备推拉门这一大优点，是Van以外的少有可以选择的一个。
Van 怎么说都是Mommy's car，爸爸天天开着上班好像比较窝火哈

I would like to recommend you visit:
http://www.wheels.ca/

For minivans:
http://www.wheels.ca/reviews/minivan

Also, by the end of each year, Consumers Reports (NEVER Consumers Digest!!!) will publish a book titled "Car Buying Guide", the book is very informative. Maybe you friend has one, if not visit Ottawa Main Library.

And each year April Edition of Consumers Reports is on CARS, very comprehensive. (You can go to any bookstores, e.g. Chapters and read it).

In the end, it is you and your family use (AND) drive that CAR.

Below is my own personal criteria to choose a car:
1. RELIABLE - do you want you car breaks down in COLD windy winter,
especially on highway?
(how long does CAR battery last?
The most dangerous is TRANSMISSION failure!)
2. Cost of maintenance - (and hence INCONVENIENCE)
the more problem (although minor) the car is, the more
money you have to spend to fixing your car (and
inconvenience)
3. Engine oil leakage? (Usually Transmission oil)
4. Safety - The safest cars are American cars (more steel, longer =>
distance from front bumper to driver and the trunk at the
back) + BENZ and VOLVO
It seems that most accidents are caused by drivers with
bad driving attitude, e.g. tailgating (that is illegal) speeding
5. BUDGET

My mechanic told me, any new cars shouldn't have problem in the first three years, what if after three years, ha ha...

If you have kids, it seems that reliability is the most important. (in COLD winter).

4 safety
you are wrong.
The safest cars are luxury cars, including infinity, acura, lexus, and of course german cars.
American cars are not safe in genneral. Imgine your steering wheel lock up when driving or the engine stalls when driving. You may be killed instantly.
I do not give a shit to most american cars except a few models.

嗯，谢谢指点！周末出去转转，感受一下吧。

Sienna 2011改进挺大的，至少外形上很有运动感了，不知道操作上如何。

机器的东东比较好控制，人的话还是健康就好，

似乎目前的优先级是
Mazda5 2010 -> Sienna （10还是11未定）-> RAV4 2010 -> Venza 2010。操纵上说，Odyssey更适合奶爸，但是用户反馈10款的引擎问题实在有些吓人啊。

另：哪里可以找到最新的利率信息呢？

又另：整来整去，基本上都是Toyota的车车了， 而且似乎他们的价格和利率都没啥松动。

 

[骑驴追火车]

Venza 2010后背空间太小了...和CAMRY一个地盘...LZ直接排除了吧 呵呵

目前没听到官方和坊间有2010款奥德赛引擎问题的说法，倒是转向粗糙和波箱丢转的反映稍为多一点。

Odyssey2011 所有型号标配的是VCM V6发动机 （可以自动工作在3，4或6缸状态），这点比sienna强。
但是sienna2011标配的是6档变速箱，odyssey 只是高端产品才用6速箱。

 

[stevenw]

odyssey 2004之前的型号据说变速箱问题较多，新型号不清楚（一般也要到5万，10万公里后才表现出来）。其实自己装个 transmission fluid cooler (<$100) 就可以延长变速器寿命一倍。（资料上说 ATF 温度每降低3度，变速齿轮的磨损速度会减慢一倍，cooler正好可降低3-5度）。
