SUZUKI APV (2005-2008)
We Say...
Touted as a "living room on wheels", the Suzuki APV seats 8 despite its compact proportions.  Space may not be as large as a gigantic SUV, but it's adequate for the typical Asian adult.    Flexibility is also high with 2nd and 3rd row being split-fold-tumble (one of the country's few). Sadly though, the underpinning is quite simplistic and crude (semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear).
Funky and practical.
Condoms are cheaper.
