I bought a second-hand 2015 IMAX 2.4L petrol in 2024, and my family absolutely loves it. I removed the third row to create more cargo space, so I no… Read more

longer need to hire a ute for transporting furniture (I even transported around 10 tons of bricks with the van, though I did so in 1-ton loads each time.). Two people can sleep comfortably in the van during camping trips, with the second row moved forward. The van only requires regular petrol (91) for fuel. The 2.4L petrol engine is simple and easy to maintain. While it’s not a racing car, it’s definitely powerful enough for daily use. I also noticed that its turning radius is much smaller than I expected for such a large van, and it drives like a car. The fuel economy is about 11L/100km with air conditioner running which is very reasonable for such a big van. The only downside is that it’s not a 4WD, but that’s something I can live with.

After having a 3 8 V6 Sorento thst we retired at 422000kms we bought a 2nd-hand 2008 grand carnival also with the 3.8 V6 compared to our last people… Read more

mover a Nissan Elgrand this car is much more sturdy eg larger stronger brakes ,larger towing capacity & larger & wider especially on the inside with rear seats removed or folded down ... anyway the main issues with the older V6 kias ( due to age)is the tappet cover gaskets hardening which then causes oil leaks either externally or internally ( which then allows oil onto the coil paks then you generally get a engine misfire ..changing the rubber gasket is a average dirty job but doing so often gives many more years of reliable service .. anyway many modern cars have a lot of problems these aren't too bad for the $ & because they sold lot hotcakes there's the choice of many aftermarket parts

Absolute disaster. Huge system failure requiring 12k in repairs. Do not buy! – I purchased a 2015 C4 Grand Picasso brand new. It had a 6 year warranty at the time. To be very fair, it was a great car - great on fuel, beautiful… Read more

to drive and roomy. Running costs were a little high (major service cost 2k!) and I was alternating between replacing brakes and tyres every year. However, no major repairs or recalls. However, out of warranty and just ticked over 130,000kms the Ad Blue/urea system failed. I have been quoted $12k for repairs. The car is not driveable. It’s a major and very expensive system failure. The ad blue system failure is a known issue with these vehicles and Citroen did nothing to recall and replace - assuming it was too expensive. I have lodged a claim with Citroen but it has now been 2 Months and they have not been forthcoming in offering any support or compensation for the major system failure. The car will now cost more to fix than it’s worth. Warning to all buyers looking at Citroens and those cars with the Ad blue system - just don’t buy! It’s not worth it.

Bought this people mover brand new from the dealer in August 2025. Never expected that Mercedes-Benz car will be of such a poor quality. In January… Read more

2026 it started notifying that the automatic daytime running light is not working, contact workshop. After sometime it started notifying automatic emergency break assist system is not working. In addition to this I also found that the airconditioning is inadequate. It does not cool quick enough even in moderate temperature. The engine oil level has become half just after running 7000 km and I had to fill 20 litres of adblue. The "Hay Mercedes" voice assistant is completely cr#p. It is beyond imagination that the company will roll it out without testing. The system does not understand most of the voice command and keeps saying " I did not understand you this time. The automatic upper beam system also works at its own mercy and does not provide any meaningful support during night driving. The buttons are harsh and make loud click sound. The automatic assisted parking system misses most of the parking lots and abruptly cancel the parking leaving the driver fumbling with the controls when the vehicle is stalled in awkward position.

Excellent for trips and business, not the best choice in city traffic (diesel models) – Used everyday, in business and as a family car, my 2.0 Diesel (2018) is fast, silent and low cost. Service maintenance after 30k kilometers. Too bad… Read more

they put start-stop system, a stupid idea for the engine, battery, belts, etc. The assistant for gear shifting is totally useless and causing clogging the particle filter. Overall, a good and reliable car, well made, despite new EU regulations.

We purchased a Staria Load Premium from the original batch that arrived in Jan 2023. Our use purpose was carrying light goods (<200 kg individual… Read more

items) and building materials. Did lots of of short trips which is not the ideal use case for a diesel vehicle. Vehicle was serviced at Hyundai Castle Hill with no issue. PRO: torque and effortless drive; huge load capacity, easily fitted 2200x1200 sheets flat in the cargo bay; 360 camera system was a life saver in tight areas.

CON: height! I removed the roof top antenna in order to reduce the vehicle height. Even then the vehicle would not clear many under cover parking stations; LED headlights could be better. Almost zero light spill illuminating the road side; fuel consumption was 11.65 L/100km (actual measured - 95% city cycle) over the period of ownership; high cost of a replacement battery ($550); resale value after 3 years.

And it happened to 3 out of the 4 I had on the road as a courier but they do have good things aswell but there better for private use where there not getting hammered on the road 12hrs a day
