Folks,
My major concerns are luxury plus space. I was interested in Civic EXI but then heard about APV. Obviously no match with Civic but one thing is enough space. Can some of you please suggest me. In case of both cars, I will have to install CNG afterwards.

I was thinking of selling my XLi and buying a APV. Install CNG in it later on. Space was the biggest plus point in my mind. However, when I discussed the option with a car dealer he said you cannot install CNG in APV because there is no space for the stand and the cylinder at the rear of the seat. Unless you decide to pull of the last seat, CNG cylinder won't fit in. That dampened my spirits and now I am no more for APV. (sigh).

hello petrocastle and hasnain2005,

Last week i saw APV on PSO filling station,Cavalry ground with CNG in it.
The tank was inbetween rear seats and tail gate.
I asked the driver about its performance on CNG and he said its great on CNG too.
So i think its a good family car.
bye,
celica.

Gents,
Thanks for your input. Husnain, I also heard that APV is compatible with CNG as it has cargo space at the end. Actually, I could not get a chance to see it physically as I am out of Pakistan these days and won't be back before Jan. 2006.
However, you people's comments have added another vote to my decision as I, myself, was interested in APV but was in a delima as to weather it is a good machine or not. On the same side, HS is very right about a bit tough ride at rear end. Please post more information if you get about it's market value.
Thanks.
