"Oh that's Japanese I'm speaking Japanese here!" Derek cracks me up

[@2001GeoMetro]

Haha your sense of humor always cracks me up! cool stuff!

[@znzp250]

Bahahaha "I'm in your room Raleigh." "Back out, back out, back out.

[@Banom7a]

Ah, official malaysian soccer-mom mobile.

[@markharvey3007]

isofix is a system for securing child seats. its standard in most UK cars.

[@Acc0rd79]

We bought the Sienna SE last year, it's so damn good looking. It's cool having a minivan with a body kit and 300hp, I have no issues at all driving the minivan when the family is together!

[@MonkeyChocolate]

Acc0rd79 this is the car I commented on your Sienna's video. Alphard/Vellfire is Sienna's twin from Japan. Hehe...

[@craig84downunder]

ISO fix is international standards mounting location, kids seats and alike, your vw’s will have those you will find, euro’s had it first

[@dawge30]

Not a bad van at all. The grille treatment and headlight treatment remind me of a early/mid 2000s Cadillac Escalade, not real keen on that look though. Thanks for sharing.

[@xjamesx7047]

Wow look at that van, so white! Also i used to have that toy a long time ago when i bought it, from "Tomica" *diecast type car* i'm sure you know that right?

[@ef7andapp170]

I prefer the split headlights of the early Vellfire over the Alphards giant, one piece units. The split lights make it look more mean.

[@demogaming8895]

I think this car looks very good. The later generations, especially the latest has a very aggressive design, but I still like that as well, though not as much as the first gen

[@johnthecarlord]

8:20 look at the time :)

[@Jeffmorgan1991]

ISOFIX is for baby car seats, It's a way to lock them onto the seat

[@egorlike1324]

I got a sienna and id say the trunk is a bit more spacious. Also the folding under the floor rear seats add much more room to carry stuff then the fold to the side seats. Otherwise kinda similar, steering wheel is exactly the same. Too bad you cant remove the front console betwern the seats and walk across the whole vehicle. Also my 3.5 feels adequate, I cant really imagine such a heavy van with 2.4. Must be painfully slow

[@ef7andapp170]

Wait...first you show the buttons for the power sunroof, then shortly after that, you manually deploy the flip up sunroof...what's the deal here? Power aft sunroof and manual only fwd?

[@crazymisada]

any D/C cig plug in the trunk like the Elgrand ? thanks

[@garbage854]

Nice van :)

[@ardelrizqi2324]

It's MPV, not Van

[@donflamingo795]

This thing is surprisingly agile for something that looks like a giant freezer And the interior is nice too, I'd say it can pass as a Lexus

[@brockwalls1413]

Yup, if Toyota or Nissan ever brought these to North America they’d call them Lexuses and Infinitis for sure.

[@elseagullo4979]

Well the Lexus LM is going to be available and is heavily based off the newest Alphard

[@StopDropandLOL]

I think the Elgrand’s interior is a lot more futuristic than this one, but this one seems to be more elegant. Still prefer the Elgrand though, always thought it was cool.

[@arbytaufik5944]

In here, Alphard be a fancy mpv. Only rich people can buy this van. A new one the price almost USD 85,000

[@thatsthatsgbh]

I saw a Voxy driving down a hill today and it looked like it was going to flip.

[@goolgappa5884]

Canada can import used cars from japan... Any money to be made

[@kevinwoodard6571]

Just a little over 60,000 miles.

[@MonkeyChocolate]

Derek, based on my owning experience 3.0 (gen 1) & 3.5 has better fuel consumptions due to greater number on its power to weight ratio. The fuel consumption I get from 2.4 gen 1 is only 4-5 km/l, just like Harrier gen 2. While the Alphard 3.5 (gen 2) can reach 8 km/l, even 10 on highway easily. But, the 2.4 or 2.5 (gen 3) is also better options if the country put heavily tax on engine displacement. Anyway, this is a great MPV and basic maintenance can run this car more than 200,000km. Just the tires, shock absorbers and brake pads replacement are a bit faster than ordinary MPV due to its size. 30,000 km on factory's Toyo Tranpath and around 40-50k km on shocks plus pads.

[@ghazifahmi7817]

Price?

[@azammuddindolah9806]

i like alphard.... but have no money 😁

[@familyoffour2234]

Are parts readily available in Canada for this beauty? (Does it cross with the Sienna at all?)

[@DxTriplExD]

Toyota estima shares most of its part with Sienna rather than the Alphard

[@familyoffour2234]

@@DxTriplExD thank you. Good to know.

[@eugidempiana8893]

c'est super voiture confort luxueuse à combien

[@eugidempiana8893]

je cherche le prix de cette voiture alphard 2002

[@rynsvids]

Did anyone catch the sublime reference? Gotta listen to robbin' the hood after watching this.

[@PacificCoastAuto]

I was waiting to see if someone would catch that. though it is an obscure reference. Not many people bought that CD compared to their self titled one and 40oz. You win a prize my man.

[@rynsvids]

Awesome!!

[@rynsvids]

Their first album was better by far. All albums were good in their own way. We are similar in a few waysm

[@goolgappa5884]

So it's 2000 to 3500 dollars ...that seems ok .. 1000 for sniping then duty which I do not know then another 350 to dealership so 7k..then sell it for 8k.. Not worth it

[@brockwalls1413]

goolgappa5 This would sell for more like 12k

[@TangoR34]

If I’m right these Alphards have terrible brakes out of the factory.

[@69muscat]

sorry but the elgrand e51 is 10 times nicer that this , and this with the 2.4 won't even move

[@HomTong123]

3.0 not 3.5

[@paulparoma]

Toyota sells these in Russia and Belarus, but not in the US or Europe proper. Too bad.

[@paulparoma]

American cars never had dummy plates for the missing buttons. European and Japanese cars always have. They look awful.

[@snipermike300]

Mcdonalds

[@robertridder6543]

be aware ! i bought this same van. i can NOT find a windShield or power mirrors in all of Canada! No glass shop or even TOYOTA them self are able to help meee! total JOKE dont buy these Vans unless you want to just park it and look at it in your driveway!

[@PacificCoastAuto]

Hi Robert, That's too bad about the windshield for you. Did you try importing one from Japan? It's good advice for people to realize that Japan-only vehicles in Canada won't have easy access to parts. However, all these parts are able to be bought from Japan.
