No mention here of the Kia Grand Carnival; maybe this review was written before they came out? The Tarago Ultima is a beautiful vehicle [particularly inside] and with the V6 is an enjoyable drive – would be better with all-wheel-drive though to help cope with the weight… I saw a black one the other day with dark windows and some nice wheels and it looked awsome! Unfortunately the seventy grand price tag will be just too much for a lot of people. I think the top of the range Grand Carnival is about fifty thousand and while it probably isn’t quite up to the Tarago’s level of quality, it still has all the leather and stuff inside. The Kia now comes in a diesel too which is something that is missing from Toyota’s range.

I read with interest the varying points of view and must say these forums provide a passionate and insightful view on people’s preferences.

I do own a V6 Tarago (GLX model) and must say that overall on balance on price, drive and practicality – it is worth owning.

I previously owned a Chrysler Voyager V6 and it served the purpose well, but consumed more fuel and I was at risk at spending $$ on servicing and repairs.

More importantly I enjoy driving the car but my wife and 4 kids are mostly in the car and it is a quality vehicle in terms of safety, space and power. I also use the Tarago for towing and it performs well. If you like a car but it is too expensive then buy it 1-2 years old and save $20K and keep the car for at least 8-10 years and it is value for money for the quality features.

I purchased at $42K, with only 21ks, 7 seater, forward /reverse sensors, DVD player, 3rd rows go into floor – very versatile – own one to enjoy own.
cheers.

How about a Kia Carnival or Hyundai i-Max. At least you get a 5-year warranty and a decent amount of safety features. And neither of those hurt your eyes to look at!!

Well beauty is all in the eye of the beholder!! We are going for the Ssangyong Stavic!!!!The 2010 model hads heaps of space and they look great, as well as great performance and value for money. They are the most under rated people mover. They sell well in Europe, because they have good taste over there!!!…..I would wear a bag on my head if I had to ride in a Tarago!!!
And yes people who have 4+ kids do start looking at people movers by looking in the back. To suggest Kluger or Territory in this league is a joke!!!!

A Tarago loaded up with all the bells and whistles, very nice indeed Toyota!

But my favourite people mover of all: the JDM Toyota Alphard / Vellfire twins (GGH20), V6 top-of-the-line spec with HDD Navigation with bluetooth, ‘intelligent park assist’, ‘NAVI AI-SHIFT’, ‘wide view front & side monitor’, ‘lane keeping assist’, radar cruise control and electronic adjustable suspension. Check out the ‘executive power seat’, electric curtains, electric tailgate, 9-inch rear seat entertainment system and plasmacluster aircon as well!

I own a previous generation Alphard MZ G Edition V6 (MNH10, with 1MZ-FE), loaded up but not as nice as the GGH20 series.
