    May 2000 nissan escapade (ung two-tone pa ang body) kami dati and sold it noong 2005, nakargahan kasi ng gasolina imbes na diesel kaya para iwas sakit ng ulo, binenta nalang namin. Pagkatapos mabenta, bumili kami agad ng escapade ulit pero yung 2005 model na. Hanggang ngayon e ayos pa naman ang takbo nya with 300,000 km on odo

    can't go wrong with it. had mine for 10 years now. uses it for bringing kids to school (30 mins. trip/two-way), just allot 500 pesos for the whole week for petrol. only changed tires and belts from normal wear and tear after all these years (but regular pms every 5000 km).

    Don't expect the same power and speed as that of the Grandia but overall, it will do the job well with basic maintenance.

    The thing is so old inside and out. As expected from an old school engine, there's not much punch to speak about, but the ride quality is better than the Hiace's.

    Not considering 2nd hand? You can buy two, or even three vans for the price of a brand new Urvan. A Kia Pregio or LWB Starex would be nicer, faster and more comfortable.

    We're using Urvans in our office fleet and they're perfect for such use (in fact, we may be putting out a P.O. for another unit). From what I've encountered, it has better pull, less smoke, better suspension durability, a/c cooling, and way better interior durability as against the Pregio. A brand new (or slightly used) Urvan will also give you less headaches then a second hand Starex TCi or Pregio. What the Pregio has to it's advantage is a better ride quality due to it's rear coil suspension.

    I encounter a lot of Urvan shuttles plying Baguio - Pangasinan and with an driver familiar with the roads, they really leave behind the other cars.

    Hehe~ Sarap sarap kasi talaga ng ride comfort ng Starex at Pregio. The best for long trips. Di kaya mas mataas pa ang masisingil niya na renta for this type of van?
