Won't be a fair comparison as such as my elgrand was higher milage. Interior: Alphard interior quality feels of higher standard Elgrand had more cubby holes Elgrand middle row seats swivel so maybe bit more practical fittin large items Drive: Alphard rode really, well even better than many Mercedes. Smooth power delivery and plenty of grunt. Elgrand was XL model and I found the OEM suspension very floaty. Sold it and buyer said is very comfy. Each to their own I guess. Fitted tein basis Z and ride was better if a little on hard side for a family car. Didn't have any normal day to day issues with it and was reliable. 120000 miles on clock. I find the elgrand a more utility vehicle as more flexible and easier to find roof racks, tow bars, uprated suspension etc Aphard to me feels more of a "pure" people mover as harder/ more expensive to buy above mentioned accessories If anything specific you'd like to know let me know 😊

Hi all, Finally joining the dark side after a year and half ownership of an E51 Elgrand.

Because racing driver. Few milliseconds can be saved using left foot rather than moving right foot from acc to brake pedal. Also can bump up the revs when near end of breaking for a speedy get away. Takes a while to get used to left foot braking. Just make sure no cars behind when you 1st try.
