Honda Stream
Planning to get a MPV? Honda stream or Mazda5 for your family? You can disscuss here and make some comparison here.
Honda Stream is designed for that change in your life. And for the things that don’t change. Its 1.8-litre i-VTEC powerhouse, advanced drivability and sleek and low-slung styling appeal to the sporty side of you.
It is designed to accommodate 7 passengers in total comfort over short and long distances. The wheelbase has been lengthened by 20mm and the pedal layout gives more space between the second and third-row seats by 30mm, which permits more room to the third-row passengers. To round it off, the floor area has been leveled from corner to corner, lending itself to the highest comfort levels for city and highway cruising.
Mazda5
Mazda 5 facelift has a design that targets customers looking for a balanced exterior that hints at the vehicle’s fun-to- drive character. It features a new front bumper design that makes the car look lower and sleeker, a new underspoiler for a touch of performance, and a larger integrated housing for the front fog lamps that gives the nose a powerful look. The headlamps have a new silver bezel design and a new textural finish at the edges for a look of high quality. These frame a more clearly-defined Mazda five-point grille with a new sporty-looking honeycomb mesh. Auto-levelling xenon headlamps are available as option. At the back, the standard version has new rear combination lamps that are vertically divided for a fresh, two-colour effect.
Mazda5 facelift is not only more practical and easier to use, it is also a quieter place to be, making its passenger cell even more communicative and relaxing. Engine sound, for instance, has been reduced (for all engines) by the introduction of a multi-resonator around the fresh air intake duct. It has six different types of resonators that are designed to cut noise at frequencies between 80 to 470 Hz. Road noise has also been reduced by increasing the rigidity of the rims of the alloy wheels. This reduces load wheel vibration, which is transmitted to the body and experienced as road noise by passengers, by 1 dB. And, Thinsulate® insulation sheeting has been added to the roof liner, which absorbs high-pitched road noise (at 250 Hz and above) transmitted through the body shell.
Honda Stream price is RM 149,800.00

MAZDA5 VS HONDA STREAM
I like stream..but Mazda5 also look nice..
mazda5 __ 5 stars mpv in europe……(2008)
definately….MAZDA 5….
MAZDA 5..absolutely..Very good comparison u got there….I still dont understand how come Stream (alias Coffin Car) was pick as CBT’s car of the year 2008, over Mazda 5.
go mazda go hehe.
.mazda 5 ni ade banyak function yang same class ngan higher end punye mpv,
tgk jela specs die :D
Mazda ni pintu sliding…senang penumpang third row masuk. Stream nak kena tolak seat baris kedua..engine SOHC tapi ada vtec…Mazda Engine DOHC 2.0..Pada aku…design Mazda lebih menarik…pastu shiftronic gearbox…
Mazda 5 lacks stability and traction control (ESC/DSC) that are required to ensure safety on wet and slippery road. Mazda 5 also depreciates its value very fast, besides its spare parts are difficult to get.
Honda Stream lacks sliding doors and other functionalities that Mazda 5 posses. The air conditioner was not designed as good as Mazda 5′s.
Considering the looming economic crises that is going to affect us, I would rather wait for Proton MPV next year. The prices of the two (Mazda 5/Stream) nor WISH, despite their attractive appearances and specs, is within my tight budget constrain. Hoping Proton will bring out the best for Malaysians to brag about/around.
kia spectra5 pun nampak ok tp kecik dari dua keta nie…
maybe perodua mpv 1st unit CBU kot..proton mpv macam rushing je so quality pun gitu2 je
Rite. Perodua is perhaps the second best shot. BTW, do we really believe with all the awards that these marques bagged and bragged? Sorry, not to me ..
emm mmg spec mazda5 lagi best dari stream.. tapi await stream nie mahal sgt.. aper2 pon aku mmg minat ngan stream design and engine. dah lama kenan : )
Cermin mazda5 kalau gelap macam stream, nampak lagi cunn kot. Apapun, dua2 cantik dan masing2 ada kelebihan tersendiri. Susah nak buat pilihan.
cermin bole tinted tp nanti kena saman… stream plain n mahal maybe becoz of the BrandName… if u own mazda 5 you will automatically become one in a thousand… hardly bump into another mazda 5… but with stream, your neighbours maybe one of the owner!
Wish is much worse. Kat mane2 boleh nampak. Neighbours ada Wish, tapi Stream tak nampak pulak setakat ni. Kalau boleh banding tiga2 ni dari spek dia pun baguih jugak. Mazda5 ada sunroof. Stream tak nampak pulak dari gambar ni.
MAZDA 5 IS THE BEST.. IF U TEST DRIVE ALREADY U SURE LIKE THE CAR…BELIEVE ME…GO N TEST THE CAR…
pndapat akoo…honda stream ni cam awex yg cun laa….tp ati kureng baik sket….jgn terase lak gurls2 kt cni….mazda 5 nih tak brape cun tapi manis la….but hati byk baek and easy going hehehehe….
stream ni nampak cantik tapi quality terok…i duduk dalam kereta tu tak selesa lepas tu dia punyak dashboard semua dapat feel plastik…tak bagus macam ni…tak ada continental feel..
mazda nie cantik..kt area rumah sye ade sebijik wane putih..berkenan plak kt kete nie..tp mahal la pulok..hehe..
tak la mahal kereta tu……murah je… kalau compare stream lagi mahal….1.8 jual rm149,000 memang mahal…lagi baik beli nissan grand livina…kakakak
stream mmg x di nafikan mmg mhal..mahal sbb brand..
tmbh lg sket, dpt 2 bijik livina tuuu..
Sori lah, tersilap masuk forum. Org patut cite stream dgn mazda 5. Kite cite pasal proton mpv pulak. Apapun, aku suka Maxda5 sbb aircon sejukk dan sliding door boleh bukak dari jauh. Senang kalau bawak brng bnyak .. Tapi maintainance takut susah dpt alat ganti.
Saya suka stream kerana itu saya beli stream ats beberapa sebab
1.Minyak kalau utk perjalanan jauh 7.9L/100km Jimatkan..
2.Air cond memang sejuk keseluruhan kabin bukan hanya utk depan dan tengah saja kalau wish belakang hangatla.
3.Cara pemanduan macam kereta biasa stabil.
4.Pick up mmg bagus ada overdrive.gear 3 boleh cecah 160Kmj dan gear 4 200kmj.
5.Mcpherson strut utk depan dan reactive double wishbone mmg bagus biasanya kereta yg bagus punyai suspension yg bagus kerana kereta sport atau mewah macam Merz akan guna suspension jenis ini.bukan jenis yg mmg kurang bagus macam torsion beam axle,leaf spring with axle atau multilink axle,terutama utk belakang untk menentukan keselesaan dan kestabilan terutama apabila mengambil selekoh.stream adalah jawapanya.
6.Design mmg cantik,lebeh rendah kereta itu lebeh stabillah ia dan MPV paling rendah adalah Honda stream bukan toyota wish,mazda 5.
7.Pemanduan lebuh raya 3001 rpm stream sudah mencecah 160kmj,kerana gear ratio.teorinya lebeh rendah rpm lebeh jimatlah pengunaan minyak.
8.Injin Vtec yg mmg terkenal dimana honda telah meniru injin alfa romeo dan memajukankan lagi.enjin pesaing jepun yg lain mcm toyota baru sahaja memperkenalkan injin Vvti,Mitsubishi Mivec.mereka hanya baru sahaja mencapai peringkat awal vtec diperkenalkan,dan sekarang ini injin stream berinjin Vtec 2 stage.manakala utk injin 20lk 3 stage vtec.
Modern Honda terkenal ngan jimat minyak.Nampak mcm jinak je stream ni tapi kalau dah mengaum boleh sebelah2 ngan Mazda 5 tu.Tapi Mazda tak kurang hebatnye cuma pick up ade kureng sikit,Minyak pun boleh tahan mcm Subaru jugak
I’ve been driving my F/L Mazda 5 2008 for almost 1 year already, and Guys, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE AND PLEASE DONT BUY MAZDA 5!!
……Otherwise mine doesnt look unique anymore! hehe…………..
Btw, there are a lots ‘Kiasu’s out there who really care about me as they keep on asking and telling me why i didnt get H & T brand as these brands offer better FC and 2nd hand value…but for me, I dont give a damn, as i’m the one who going to drive the car……as a driver, we have to know what we want…if you plan to get a car and sell within 3 years, then no doubt, u have to get a Stream (btw, 2006 Mazda 5 market value still around RM100k-110k, not bad kan?)…if handling and driving satisfaction become your priority, then Mazda 5 is the one…dont just listen to people esp those blindly hentam other brands, without experience it himself…go and test drive both models…test drive kow-kow as the car is meant for TEST drive….feel yourself..come back and cerita!
just to share some facts based on my experience of 1 year driving my Mazda 5,
~ FC:- city: 8km/ltr; Highway: 12km/ltr;
~ Service Cost:- Avg of RM300++ per service, i.e. service interval 10,000 km using SHELL Helix fully synthetic.
~ top speed:- PLUS Highway: 190km/hr; Cornering: 130-140km/hr. (My car still stocks!)
cheers!
dua2 stream dan mazda tu memang power…cuba bincang pasal maintenance dengan spare parts…yang mana mudah diperolehi dan murah? aku sure stream lebih ok berbanding mazda…betul ke?
kalau setakat kemek2 nie kedai repair biasa pun bule buat beb, tarik pakai hydraulic jek!
lagi satu korang ada prasan tak paper keluar tahun 2007 k 2008 siap gambo seme. Accident kat kl mazda5 kene langgar dgn lori, taukeh mazda ganti seketul baru tu beb… tak caya lu pegi peugeot kat tampoi diaorg ada tampal keratan tu kat tangga, kalau ada lagi la… lu tanya la sng.. tu pun nak ajo… pampered! bukan lu, adalah…
memang betul kata Abang Am.saya ada honda stream..memang power…
kalau ada rezeki,tahun depan nak angkat honda stream
Plain simple explanation bros…
Let’s say if A is a die-hard fan & sleep, eat, drink about a certain Japs car brand, the verdict is even the best car in the world from Europe is not good enuf & considered looser for A. In another word A lets the majority decides for him & in a comfortable group called followers.
But if B is a person who wants to think different from the majority, & tested every single car in the same class category… and then he decides, he is in a unique group called pioneers & leaders..
I think IMHO to be not bias, if u have the budget & wanted to buy a passenger car in a Mini MPV category, please test drive all makes that produces vehicle in that category…please DO test drive each & every single one of them.
Stream is actually a wagon from the Civic model line-up, while Mazda5 came from the Mazda3 floor-plant but was built as a Mini van. Both cars has standard road clearances but with different height on pillars & roof. Many of us tend to labeled “the higher the roof, the more unstable the car at cornering”… which is entirely false & a mere blind assumptions. 90% stability came from a very2 good suspension system…if not how can a very high 4WD pick-up can corner more robust than a normal low car without even capsized?
Handling wise off course the standard suspensions system were installed for normal street purpose only & a bit lack in performances like the tuned version.
apa2pun I agree dgn Jiman. Betulla ko kate…….klu nk makwe yang lg cun serupa minah saleh yang akan meragam sllu dan banyak kerenahnya bile meningkat usia, cubalah continental car…..best road handling, cepat turun resale value die…..dan mahal nak maintain………hee…hee…hee….imported la katakan……cantik tp lama2 busuk juge……haa…haa…haa….
aku pakai stream 1.8..blik kelantan..isi penuh 90.00 pn tak abis…guna dlm 60.00 jer kot..jimat gila..power baik pya
beli lah wish, jimat minyak drp stream,
resale valu tinggi
space luas
lawa
stream kurang lebih ribena jerk, overprice lah..lagil satu kete honda ni wear and tear cepat
cepat buruk, tgk lah seat dia, kalau kete dah usia 5-6 tahn ke atas, dah jasi lusuh dah
toyota lambat,
tak caya cuba bandigkan stream dam wish sama2 model tahun 2003, yg mana nampk lgi baru dalamannya, dashboard, kulit pintul seat dsb, mesti wish yg menang
Aku tgh dok carik MPV sebijik skrg nih…among yg aku dah test drive ialah:
1. Mazda 5
2. Peugeot 5008
3. Grand Livina
4. Toyota Isis
5. Proton Exora
6. Toyota Wish
Tgh dok cari peluang nak test Honda Stream..dah pegi Honda dealership kat Jln Klang Lama, dia buat layan tak layan je bila aku tanya..kalau tak de pun ckp je lah…nak jual tapi sombong..
Aku dah test dalam ertikata yang sebenarnya untuk no1,2,3 dan 4. Round sekitar jalan dan Highway..so boleh rasa betul2 ler jugak..yang Exora dan wish pulak hanya sekitar compound dan sikit jln luar…boleh rasa sikit jer…
Setakat hari ni rasa aku Mazda 5 is the best MPV to drive around as a driver…and i suppose it do the same to the passenger…MAzda 5 punya ride and handling memang best, mantap dan rasa melekat kat jalan. Road and cabin noise bagus dan rasa contained dlm tu..selesa…dari segi spec pun boleh tahan compare ngan stream dan wish (kalah ngan 5008)…ada 4wheel ABS, Traction control, sun roof..cuma lagi baik aku harap dia tambah leather seat dan kalau boleh gak cruise control..then Mazda 5 memang top! Dia dah ada hook point utk roof rack (stream and wish tak ade), maknanya ia memang didesign utk multi purpose vehicle..wish and stream lebih kpd wagon…atau sedan yang dipanjangkan…
Pug 5008, aku test dua minggu lepas mazda 5, dan yg dpt aku rasa kelebihan dia ialah spec yg berlambak (sesuai ngan harga, sepatutnya utk semua jenis pd harga ni), enjin 1.6 turbo memang power, tekan je mencanak…tapi rasa aku driving pleasure kalah ngan Mazda 5. Rasa macam bwk tong kosong mcm tu..mungkin psl power lebih.. dalam cabin tu mcm kita duduk dlm tong (tapi tak bising lah)..dan goyangan body dia lebih terasa berbanding Mazda 5. Lagi satu dia punya build material pun terlalu complicated dan too technical…jadi serabut dan tak kemas…boleh tgk cara lipatan kerusi dah cukup rimas..dan test unit yg aku cuba tu pun dan jammed kerusi dia..sama mcm yg display kat KLIM hari tu…kerusi jammed gak…so dr segi kekemasan dalaman (neat and tidy) aku rasa Mazda 5 dan lain2 keta jepun lebih baik kat sini…
Dua-dua Mazda 5 and Pug 5008 aku test kat jalan yang sama (kat Glenmarie)…so happened that Pug salesman tu ex-Mazda, bila dia tanya aku punya pendapat ttg dua2 keta ni, aku terus terang ckp Mazda 5 lebih baik dari segi pemanduan dan dia tak kata apa…(mungkin dia setuju ke?) Bila dia tanya mana lebih handsome looking..aku terdiam pulak…terlalu subjektif…So dlm buying list aku, Pug 5008 is officially out….
Toyota Isis pulak aku test dua kali…2.0 version. Paling respect kat isis ni dia punya interior dia…luas, kemas dan selesa…bayangkan third row seat boleh sandar baring! semua yang aku test tak leh sandar baring kecuali Proton Exora. Dan ruang kargo belakang paling luas berbanding semau lain. Boleh masuk tong NGV pun kalau nak..Fabric seat material pun lebih baik berbanding Mazda 5. Tapi semua tu berbeza ngan keselesaan pemandu. Aku rasa macam bawak van atau bas… stereng tak dak feel hanya plain round thing for your hand to hold around..memang rasa beza sgt ngan Mazda 5…rasanya kalau nak drive jauh-jauh pemandu akan cepat rasa boring..tak fun to drive (fun to drive ni penting kalau jalan jauh..percayalah)..mula round aku jadi passsenger 3rd row..aku rasa mcm ada bunyi msk cabin gak…so bab bunyi ni memang annoying sket…verdict aku utk Toyota Isis..winning point dia memang on space only..pintu sliding dan tak de B pillar tu contribute a lot on spaciousness…seat arrangement pun top utk Isis…tapi sgt tak sesuai utk pemandu…
Grand Livina plak…biggest plus point ialah harga yg hampir separuh dr yg lain..tapi dia punya comfort is noticeable…cabin and driver comfort sgt baik utk harga yg ditawarkan..cuma space dia kurang. 2nd row ngam utk 2 org jer…3rd row is quite ok for adult…tapi tak leh split fold….very good value gfor ur money…
Dah letih nulis dah ni…sorry off topic, tapi rasanya sgt berguna utk mereka yg tgh cari MPV macam aku nih…mcm sahabat lain cadangkan, pegi test drive semua dan buat bandingan..kita bukan nak beli kacang, for most of us, thsi is our senond biggest investment and mind you, it will depreciate..so go for the best you can get..being continental doesn’t mean it will be good…and being Mazda 5, it is well accepted in Europe and USA..cuma spec kita kat m’sia ni dikurangkan…tak de 6 air bags and tak de i-stop function..
So itu adalah apa yang aku rasa. Lain org lain citarasa dan preference..baik test sendiri dan buat pilihan…itu lah bab yang paling susah!..ha..ha..
Mazda 5 memang bagus dan baik tp sayang harganya di Malaysia dan ruangnya. Bg jenama Jepun tak silap saya Mazda adalah jenama terbaik dari segi pemanduan. Mazda memang mementingkan aspek pemanduan berbanding yg lain. Handling maybe Mazda mendapat kelebihan dari Ford. Kebanyakan kereta Ford, Mazda dan Volvo berkongsi platform yg sama. Maybe cik boleh try test drive Naza Rondo memandangkan spec, luas dia hampir serupa dgn Mazda 5. Harga pun pada 1/2 harga. Memandangkan komen pakali sgt telus, saya minat nak tahu pandangan pakali mengenai Chery Eastar. Memang pakali tak akan berminat (NVH sound not good, kualiti plastk) tp boleh jd rujukan utk kawan2 kita yg cari MPV sbb MPV lain dah masuk dlm shopping list pakali. hehe. Yup bagi Exora kalau berminat tunggu Exora turbo memandangkan saya kira pakali dlm golongan berkemampuan MPV below RM 170, 000.
Salam semua,
Cherry Easter memang tak ada dlm buying list…dah pernah tengok statik show unit..tengok kat dash board dia..joining pun tak ngam…macam ada gap dan longgar…so dari situ pun rasanya tak payah lah consider Cherry kut..my opinion lah..walaupun harga murah, tapi kita nak menang memakai…jgn dah beli rasa nyesal dah tak leh nak buat apa..nak jual pun susah..pada harga Cherry tu, jauh lebih baik amik Proton Exora kita…
Kia Ronda dah test drive dua kali, masa mula keluar dulu…memang ada kelas..driving mantap dan jauh beza ngan Citra 1 dulu…berbeza macam kita compare proton saga lama ngan proton saga baru..jauh beza tu…tapi aku tak berkenan ngan bentuk dia…kalaulah Rondo tu bentuknya secantik Forte sekarang nih, pada harga sekrang rasa aku dah penuh kat jalan…kalau yang tak kisah ngan bentuk dia, cuba pandu uji Rondo..anda pasti akan berasa kelainannya..it is good for your money..pada harga ditawarkan…
Perlu juga diingat, teknologi sekarang pantas berlalu…pada harga yang sama kita mungkin dapat membeli MPV recond / 2nd value yang lebih baikdari segi teknolgi engine dan lain2…itu juga kena dipertimbangkan..dan inilah bab yang paling susah..samaada baru atau re-cond atau 2nd hand…
Mungkin ada yang nak bagi pendapat mana lebih baik antra kereta baru atau re-cond?
Bila agaknya Exora Turbo nak keluar..memang masih menunggu untuk masuk dalam list…dan juga dengar kata Chevrolet Orlando MPV akan keluar penggal kedua tahun ni, bila agaknya?
tgh pening ni, nak beli MPV below rm160k, stream or mazda 5, mintak opinion org, jd lg confius, sorang kata mcm ni, sorang kata cam tu…dah serik pakai continental car (nabira chevrolet) bwk mmg best, tp sekali buat hal, terbang beribu2 huhu..resale value pun ala2 jual besi buruk je, year 2004 just nak amik around 20k+ isk3
Saya baru cadang nak beli peugeot 5008 tapi tak puas hati ngan kerusi penumpang baris ke 2 dan ke 3 coz nipis dan kecik.macam kerusi van sekolah jer dan nampak macam jangka hayat tak tahan lama jer…Nak tanya member2 yang dah pakai, apa pendapat u alls?
Salam…sy berminat dgn komen2 yg diberikan….
sy dh test drive mazda 5, stream since 2 model ni yg dikaitkan dlm topic ni….to be honest mmg sy minat mazda 5 la….sbb dari dulu dh drive mazda….but not M5 la…hehehe
mcm komen2 yg lain juga….honda lebih kepada nama, jadi harga mmg mencanak naik la….cc enjin pun berbeza….interior stream cantik…..mazda lawa, body stream nampak sporty, rendah, mmg kalo mekup skit cun habis….mazda tinggi skit, tp kalo mod tuka rim ke apa ke, mmg mantap juga…..
so hati mmg dh melekat kt M5 ni…tunggu duit nk rembat M5 secondhand….huhu….
