This might be a little thirstier and the yearly road tax is higher, however in the long run you get family vehicle with better highway running and actually, on long distance drives you get lower fuel usage. We suggest you look at the 2006-2007 model 3.0-liter Alphard that comes with V6 24-valve engine that produces a decent 220bhp and 310Nm of torque. The asking price for a year 2002-2004 used registered Alphard is around RM40,000 or so today. In city traffic it is good to transport 7 adults and on a long weekend holiday it will do the job but will need time to get up to illegal speeds on the highway.

The Toyota Alphard is a luxury MPV produced by the Japanese automaker Toyota since 2002. Fuel efficiency should be good and it would be great if there was a loan available (which means not too old and a popular brand).
