innova 2nd gen - G variant - 2.8 MT diesel <<VS>> crv 4th gen - 2.0 MT gas

[sepskee]

then agree ako kay *jresperanza

200K worth of Petrol, di mo na mababawi yan not unless matulog ka sa loob ng car na naka-A/C (very dangerous for Petrol engines)

Only benefit I can see buying an Innova is that its a current gen (IMO, looks better than the previous gen)
and that its easier to sell

thanks, sir ice!

btw .. regarding yung transmission inquiry ko .. nakausap ko yung suking service advisor ko sa Honda. MT transmission parts are exclusive for each model. So basically, if may masira in the future dito sa transmission ni CRV, because it's not a common variant, sa planta kukunin (1 to 2 weeks)

IF malasin at wala sa planta, import pa sya (more or less a month)

The unit i'm looking at is from buy & sell. Nagulat ako pumayag sya na ipasok sa casa for condition checking/verification. Will cost me 2.5K but on the whole, not bad for a thorough check na gagawin sa unit.

Thanks, sir jresperanza!

b. may source ka nyan problematic MT? tried and tested na ang manual transmission, baka AT ang nabasa mo may problema?
>> yup, tried and tested si manual which is why sya yung balak ko kunin. yung iniisip ko na maintenance item is not specific on the transmission (although i understand na yun ang naisip nyo kasi binanggit ko yung "MT" doon sa original message). yung question ko is on the unit overall, if madali sya mahanapan ng parts if may mag-breakdown. sa pagkakaalam ko kasi, relatively "rare" ang mga manual transmission na CRVs, karamihan nyan AT. so based on that "rarity" naisip ko lang baka mahirapan ako maghanap ng piyesa down the line.

but since naopen up na rin naman na yung topic regarding transmission, magtanong na rin ako. kung may masira man sa transmission na kelangan ikumpuni/ikumpune(?) in the future .. since manual transmission naman sya, i guess interchangeable yung parts ng CRV MT with the other MT models in the honda line-up. I am basing this statement on my limited knowledge regarding transmissions - generally speaking, parepareho lang ang piyesa ng manual transmission assembly from within the different honda models - please correct me if i am wrong hehe

but if you tell me na yung MT components netong CRV is specific for the CRV alone .. na i can't use the same components coming from other honda models using MT .. then ayun, baka nga magkaproblema ako on sourcing in the future.


regarding the jazz .. CVT po yung akin, so smooth ang drive + the fact na magaan lang ang paa ko sa silinyador heheh

MT ba kamo? interchangable yan with other generations, baka nga with other brands pa kase part yan ng cost cutting na isa lang ang design ng parts kahit magkakaiba generations or brand ang gumagamit, lalo na sa MT na very common na...

Hmmm, jazz na CVT tapos nakaka hilo? interesting, i imagine comfy ang jazz because honda can demand a high price for it... kase ako na experience ko din yan sa tatay ko coming from bnew 1991 toyota lite ace MT tapos nag palit siya ng bnew 1997 mitsubishi lancer pizza GLXi AT, grabe nakaka hilo ang pag preno niya, after 4 years na dispose na din yung lancer pizza kase lagi sira aircon at napalitan ng bnew 2001 honda cr-v 2nd gen MT at tatay ko pa din ang driver, happy kids na ulet kame sa driving niya...

madami casa horror stories, umiwas ka dyan... kunin mo yung part number at mag kaka alaman, yung iba shops sinasadya out of stock para pataasin ang presyo, magulo ang car industry...

gusto mo sa LTO MVIS mo pa check, pwede daw kahit hindi ka mag papa rehistro, parang 600 lang yata

I would avoid the Innova. The cabin vibration from the diesel engine is extremely uncomfortable.

MT are very robust.
you are indeed unfortunate, if the used unit you purchase has a busted MT box.
to me, it suggests abuse by previous owner.
and if the MT is abused,
papano pa kaya the rest of the vehicle?

my recommendation, is to thoroughly test the vehicle thru its paces, before purchasing.
bring a (paid) mechanic, if you know next to nothing about cars.

funny story, my wife is probably buying an Innova. On a family gathering last weekend, nag-unload ng gamit brother nya in front of their parents house. He brought his Navarra and the engine was so noisy. I asked her if ready na ba sya sa tagatak? hahaha

I agree. my entire experience driving an MT (since early 90's) 1 pa lang nasira kong transmission ('91 Lancer, drag racing days)
Not once did I change the transmission fluid of my MT cars.

clutch is a different story.

my wife has always hated diesel.

my wife dislikes taller vehicles.
she likes to just sit down on the seat, and not monkey up onto one.
hence my 2003 altis downstairs.
heh heh.
