Loosely based on a Mazda Premacy two generations down, the Haima Freema offers luxury items that shames other MPVS including leather seats and a sun roof. Options include a 1.6 or 1.8 engines but no diesel yet. While the package is tempting, reliability is something of a deal breaker.
The Good: Stylish and practical, gadget packed.
The Bad: Durability unknown, two generations old already.
