We’re back with another episode of Cars @ CARRO! Today, we have with us one of the most family-friendly cars, the Toyota Wish.
The Toyota Wish was Singapore’s best selling MPV while it was still in production. It’s roomy, comfortable, and most importantly, reliable! Not only is it great for your family, but it also offers a great driving experience too! The Wish is powered by a 1.8 litre, in-line 4 cylinder petrol engine which delivers 144 bhp - more than a usual MPV!
Join us and find out why the Toyota Wish was so popular amongst families in Singapore.

0.08 -> Hi my name is Pearlyn
1.04 -> and thank you for joining me
2.24 -> on CARS@CARRO
3.68 -> Today we have the almost perfect family car
6.68 -> the super spacious
8.28 -> Toyota Wish!
9.64 -> This car has been a familiar sight
11.6 -> on our roads over the last decade
13.16 -> and it’s a really popular pick
14.36 -> amongst families
15.44 -> who are looking for a spacious
16.96 -> affordable
17.76 -> yet
18.32 -> low maintenance MPV
20.64 -> and for good reason!
22.2 -> But before we move on
23.48 -> show your support by liking and sharing this video
25.76 -> as well as subscribing to our channel over here
28.84 -> Don’t forget to hit the bell icon
30.36 -> to turn on your notifications
31.84 -> so you’ll never miss another episode of
33.96 -> Cars@CARRO with me!
40.48 -> The Wish is Toyota’s answer
42.16 -> for drivers who have big families
43.88 -> or need to ferry lots of items around
45.88 -> or even both
47.8 -> After serving families across the globe
49.64 -> for a good 14 years
50.84 -> this wildly sought after MPV
52.96 -> finally went out of production in 2017
55.8 -> Afterwhich
56.4 -> it was replaced by the boxier
57.72 -> and funkier looking
58.96 -> Sienta and Prius Alpha
60.88 -> The Wish’s long stay in the market
62.6 -> was for a good reason
64 -> people absolutely loved it
67 -> It’s extremely spacious
68.2 -> and offers a pleasant ride
69.64 -> a perfect combination for families
71.2 -> who love taking road trips up north to Malaysia
74.76 -> Without a doubt
75.96 -> the Wish is one of the better-looking MPVs out there
78.76 -> If you think about MPVs
80.32 -> you’ll soon come to realise that
81.68 -> a lot of them have really boxy fronts
84.2 -> But this Wish has a very pleasant-looking front
87.44 -> with a slightly sloped nose
88.92 -> and a sleek small grill
90.88 -> The shorter hood also allocates more space
93.4 -> towards the back
94.24 -> which makes it easier
95.44 -> to look out for oncoming vehicles
97.84 -> Speaking about headlights
99.28 -> these are auto levelling
100.6 -> which means that they can properly
101.76 -> illuminate the road ahead of you
103.2 -> without blinding oncoming drivers
105 -> or the car in front of you
107.4 -> One thing that some drivers might find an issue with
109.6 -> are the doors
111 -> While most MPVs nowadays
112.52 -> come with sliding doors
113.72 -> the doors on the Wish
114.72 -> are slightly more traditional in the sense that
116.88 -> they open outwards
118.56 -> This might be an issue if you need more space
120.64 -> when loading or unloading bulkier items
122.72 -> and especially when you’re trying to fix
124.52 -> your baby’s car seat in the back
128.36 -> Now on to the star of the show
130.08 -> the Toyota Wish’s interior!
132.28 -> As with most MPVs
134.12 -> the boot space might not seem much at first
136.12 -> but once you put down the last row of seats
137.92 -> you’re going to find that you have a ton of space
139.76 -> for all your stuff
140.68 -> baby strollers
141.96 -> baby bags I mean
143.12 -> you can even fit some pieces of
144.56 -> small furniture in here
145.92 -> Another thing I’m sure drivers
147.52 -> really appreciate
148.72 -> is the fact that you can put these seats down
150.8 -> directly from here
151.92 -> which is going to make loading stuff
153.36 -> so much easier
154.8 -> All you need to do
155.8 -> is just tug on this
157.08 -> latch
157.8 -> put this down
159.08 -> Tug on this latch
160.08 -> this one goes down
161.52 -> And there you have it!
163.52 -> Also if you’re out furniture shopping
165.16 -> and want to save on delivery fees
166.68 -> you can even put down the second row of seats
169 -> for more space
170.8 -> With that
171.96 -> I think fitting in a flat-pack
173.68 -> closet or dining table
175.92 -> is really going to be no issue at all
178.12 -> Let’s try!
186.72 -> Apart from an abundance of space for your things
189.08 -> it’s also super spacious for your passengers
191.04 -> because the Wish
192.04 -> is longer than other MPV models
193.96 -> like the Sienta
194.72 -> and Prius Alpha
195.72 -> which translates to even more
197.4 -> space for your passengers
199.04 -> Just take a look at the third row
200.28 -> there’s more than enough space
201.88 -> to fit 2 teenagers in there!
203.32 -> Even the middle row of seats is spacious enough
205.8 -> to comfortably fit 3 people
208.2 -> This also means that your kids
209.48 -> will be able to enjoy a comfortable ride
211.44 -> even when they grow bigger and older
213.76 -> Super efficient!
215.48 -> But 1 thing I don’t like about the rear
217.08 -> is that there are no AC vents at all
218.92 -> So the whole cabin really
220.48 -> just relies on the vents at the front
222.04 -> to cool the whole car
223.04 -> which might be a bit of a strain
224.64 -> considering how long this car is
226.8 -> Okay let’s hop to the front
228.16 -> One thing that immediately strikes you
230.08 -> is how spacious the front is too
232.24 -> There’s no middle console
233.68 -> or rather
234.52 -> the middle console is really small
235.84 -> so you feel like there’s plenty of space
237.96 -> This also makes it easier to look
239.4 -> and reach behind to check on
240.6 -> how your kids are doing
242.12 -> There’s space to store your things
243.56 -> under this small middle console
244.92 -> and there’s this two-tiered tray here
247.24 -> where you can put your wallet
248.6 -> phone and keys
249.6 -> And a bottom tray where you can maybe
251.32 -> store your wet wipes
252.84 -> spare cash card or petrol cards
258 -> The glovebox is huge and super useful
260.48 -> for storing your passport
261.72 -> and other travel documents you need
263.28 -> when you do take this car for a road trip
265 -> across the causeway
266.16 -> The infotainment system is quite basic
268.12 -> but it still lets you connect your phone
269.52 -> to make calls and play music
271.36 -> That’s really all there is here
273.08 -> but don’t let the ‘basicness’ of this infotainment system
275.6 -> steer you away from this car
276.96 -> After all
277.48 -> the best part about this car is not the tech
279.72 -> but the space and efficiency
281.44 -> that the Wish offers
283.16 -> All the seats in the car are leather
285.04 -> which is great
285.56 -> because the newer MPVs and even SUVs
287.56 -> tend to come in fabric seats
288.96 -> which are more uncomfortable
290.2 -> and really can be quite a nightmare
292.48 -> if and when sweaty passengers get onboard
294.96 -> Overall
295.6 -> the interior is built with mostly plastic materials
298 -> but it doesn’t feel cheap
299.48 -> In fact
300.16 -> this area above the dashboard
301.52 -> comes in a non-slip material
303.04 -> so you can put your phone
303.84 -> or any decorations on it
305.52 -> without fear of them dropping off
306.76 -> when you drive
312.28 -> This engine is a 1.8 litre
314.04 -> in-line 4 cylinder petrol engine
315.84 -> which delivers 144 brake horsepower
318.2 -> and 176 Newton metres of torque
321.32 -> Compared to other MPVs of a similar size
323.28 -> this is actually one of the
324.4 -> more powerful MPVs available
326 -> on the market
327.32 -> Even newer hybrid MPVs
328.84 -> don’t come with this much power
330.4 -> and tend to feel quite sluggish
332.16 -> when compared to the Wish
333.28 -> But do you know what’s even more impressive?
336.16 -> The fuel tank can hold up
337.68 -> to 60 litres of petrol!
339.64 -> Which mans that you can get to
340.48 -> about 500 to 600 kilometres per tank
343.16 -> Yay to fewer trips to the petrol station!
345.8 -> The soft suspension makes the ride
347.56 -> very comfortable and smooth
349.28 -> and this car handles the bumps
351.28 -> and humps of our roads pretty well
353.28 -> It feels really stable even though
355.16 -> there is a bit of body roll
356.8 -> when you make sharp turns
357.96 -> but that’s expected considering
359.92 -> how big this car is
361.92 -> But
362.36 -> if you’re worried about manoeuvring the car
364.08 -> up tight multi-story car parks
365.72 -> Don’t worry!
366.72 -> Handling the car is a breeze
368.72 -> It’s super easy to squeeze your way
370.64 -> through stressful scenarios like parallel parking
373.04 -> and crowded car parks
374.4 -> Even making U-turns
375.6 -> isn’t going to be an issue
387.16 -> The Toyota Wish is a great car for families
389.76 -> even if it’s preowned
390.92 -> because the resale value
392.04 -> will always be there
394.04 -> Carrying that Toyota badge
395.4 -> you can be guaranteed a reliable ride
397.84 -> and a car that will withstand the test of time
400.28 -> After all
401 -> the Wish was one of Singapore’s top-selling MPVs
404.28 -> for a really good reason
405.84 -> If you’re in the market for a Toyota Wish
407.92 -> then CARRO is the place to be
409.72 -> Buy your next car with peace of mind
411.8 -> and guaranteed satisfaction
413.44 -> as all our cars have passed
414.88 -> a rigorous 150-point inspection check
417.88 -> You’ll also get 30-day full access
420.08 -> to our workshop for wear and tear issues
421.84 -> related to any of your car’s safety components
424.96 -> and even enjoy full assurance
