Thanks bro and appreciate the comment! Yah definitely can consider getting one..I can imagine how much easier all those years of bending down to fix the baby chair I went through would be haha
Recently test driven the 2.4 with low miles on it and many will find it underpowered in the UK even unladen. Been for another test drive today in the 3.5 V6 and they are worlds apart. You need to realise that Alphards and Vellfires weigh 2 tons before passengers and luggage.
Hi! The ANH20 has a common steering rack knock and happens to most cars at some point. You will feel it over uneven roads etc. Not sure about the latest AGH30 though. Wow. Right hand drive then in Germany? :) That's cool!
@@zumezoom9593 yes quite sure it did come with 4WD but it’s not a really popular option where I live for some reason. It is big and heavy though for sure. Haha
How was the fuel consumption?
Choosing between the 3.5L vs 2.4L
Thanks for your well done thoughtful and comprehensive review presentation.
Subscribed to follow stories of the Alphard, now a parent to my young son too. Great sharing there, keep it up.

Nice review. I’m looking forward to the steering knock fix vid

I believe it gets approximately 9km/L
Buddy, I have the same in the UK. 2010 model, imported from Jqpan
I love the drive....and the best car ever. Enjoy
Thanks for sharing! I never realized till recently that they seem to be quite popular in the UK too! (I've seen them being used as camper vans etc)
Hi what spec do you have. I'm about to purchase a 4wd 3.5 v6
@@abumaleeha1 2.4 petrol. 3.5 is better.
@@dannyinnocent9123 3.5l comes in 2WD and 4WD. Any idea which one might be better?
@@abumaleeha1 did you decide 2WD or 4WD? Are these all time 4WD?
Which year you thinking to buy? I think 2011 2012 might be same model
Hello, are you in Singapore, or Malaysia?
Recently test driven the 2.4 with low miles on it and many will find it underpowered in the UK even unladen. Been for another test drive today in the 3.5 V6 and they are worlds apart. You need to realise that Alphards and Vellfires weigh 2 tons before passengers and luggage.
I'm waiting for one at the moment I can't wait to get it
Great choice and congrats!!!
What do you mean with steering issues? I just bought mine in japan and waiting for shipment to germany :-)

@@HHlahand the way to rectify is?
hi bro, thx for the review. how's the car so far. just down a 2012. is there anything i shd concern about for car such an age?
Hey bro. All good so far and still loving it! As it’s a Toyota I wouldn’t be too concerned. Just small wear and tear things that can easily be sorted!
thx bro for the reply and the vid review again.
HH - an MPV??? What happened to Austin Yellow M4's?
HAHA! Give me a few weeks - I've got something coming that will hopefully make you proud lah!
Nice Review, are you using RON 95 or 97 fuel?
Thanks! Have always been on Ron 95! :)
Is it AWD or RWD?
It’s a FWD :)
@@HHlah never came with AWD? This van looks heavy even when it's empty of people and junk.
@@zumezoom9593 yes quite sure it did come with 4WD but it’s not a really popular option where I live for some reason. It is big and heavy though for sure. Haha
@@HHlah but it does look good. Nice purchase, you've got good taste.
Would you pick an MPV over an SUV?!
Definitely
Looking to buy one of these but most probably in 3.5 version :)
Yes the 3.5 would be really nice I’m sure as even the 2.4 feels sufficient.
@@HHlah can you confirm if the 2.4 suffers oil burning issue ? seen that a lot in here
@@HHlah Started bidding today on AN20W Vellfire. Let's see how it goes :) thanks for the review
@@HHlah Won the 2012 Toyota Vellfire yesterday and it will now be shipped to Australia. Its 2.4 ANH20
@@codenameFourtySeven Wow congrats man, I'm sure you will love it!
It looks like Vancouver skytrain
Cool
thanks!!! 🙂
Nice review. I’m looking forward to the steering knock fix vid
Thank you! Will update asap once I've done it - definitely looking to get it done soon! :)
Hi, great video. I bought a 2012 van after watching. Please tell me more about the steering issue, what is it and what is the fix ?. I’m in Australia.
