[cripwalkerin]

Guys, I would like to ask for your opinion.
Planning to buy new car. Trying to choose among the these selections: Grand Livina, Fuzion, Innova G, Isuzu crosswind, . What do you think is the best buy among this range of price Mostly city driving. Must be economical. And must seat 7 to 8 persons. I'll be waiting for your reply. Thanks guys.

test drive mo sila lahat! tapos kung ano ma feel mo, yun! tapos basahin mo lahat about sa mga pinagpipiliaan mo. hehe. goodluck, meron kami grand livina, ganda nya! hehe

[DBanker]

yes... try selecting grand livina... its a 7-seater.. but can accomodate 8 pipol. 2-3-3...

[safeorigin]

if you're up for comfort and entertainment go for the fuzion. if you're up for comfort and people moving ability, go for the livina. if you're up for a versatile workhorse then go for the crosswind.

[russpogi]

Ako, I suggest the Innova. Maingay at malakas vibrations ng diesel nila pero ok naman yung gas. But, it's nice and roomy (except for the third row seat unless you're 5 years old).

cripwalkerin, hi!

kung city driving ka lang, mas maganda siguro ung crosswind, it's economical, seats 10, tall enough for flooded street and sure mabagal nga cya, pero pang city driving mo lang naman and you wont be tempted to go fast which is i think is better for safety reason, but if you want a fast ride talaga, dont choose this car.

since its for city driving and can sit 7-8 and economical:
should be the kia carens.... hehehehe.

among your choices, its the livina, kaya lang, mukhang masikip na ang 7-8 people dun.

my second choice would be the innova g.

[XTO]

economical? for diesel it's the crosswind XTi and not the Sportivo / XUV and for gas the innova 2.0 E vvti. both at less than a million.

It'll depend on what you need... in terms of comfort, the Fuzion is the best here, but it's not really economical, and the engine just doesn't give you the kick in the pants you expect of such a large lump.

The Grand Livina is comfy, but really tiny... it's a seven-seater fit for school runs, but if you're ever going to sit in the back, get something else.

The Crosswind is a big truck with an old-fashioned engine and suspension, which is a good thing if you're using it for work. But it's not very comfortable compared to the others, here, and safety is so-so.

The Innova strikes a fine balance between truckishness and family-ability (though some people still don't like the ride)... Personally, the 2.0 gas version is perfect.

[Bogeyman]

If you're looking for economical, exclude anything that doesn't come with a manual transmission variant -- that means strike the Fuzion out. :D And the Grand Livina looks a bit low slung to me, not very confidence-inspiring when traversing Espana in the middle of a sudden downpour.

Oh, and somebody please confirm this, but I heard that Nissan doesn't offer free registration for the Grand Livina; you'll have to shell out an extra 13k for the 3-year sticker.

So it's either the Innova or the Crosswind.

kung gusto n'yo po ng 7-8 seater why not consider Suzuki APV Type II. kung gusto n'yo po sama na lang kayo sa aming tatlo na hoping to buy the APV with a great deal. siguro mas-magiging okay kung apat na tayo...

you can check the suzuki car talk...

Guys thank you for the replies. You have given me much information. We visited the shops and checked out the cars on the list and I have read some of the threads. Here are my comments :

Fuzion- roomy, elegant styling especially the dashboard, can play MP3 and Ipod and the stereo is detachable. Negative side is FC gas guzzler, 3rd row seats has a very small leg room, AT- no manual transmission.



Grand livina- elegant exterior especially the front grills, indeed it drives like a sedan according to the threads that I read, economical, most especially it is not that expensive as compared to the others. And I'm sure the engine is though. We owned a vanette before and since 1995 the engine hasn't has any major problems. Downside is there is no MP3 capability. Low ride as compared to others on the list which makes it very vulnerable in times of flooding. Syempre the parts are more expensive. Also it only sits 7. 8 persons siksikan na.

Crosswind- Among the lists this has the most unattractive interior the ac adjuster is old school. Exterior looks is good. And the price is a bit high. The engine is reliable, subok na kumbaga. Of course the ground clearance
is OK when it comes to flooding.

Innova G- toyota yan of course subok na maikina, parts are not expensive and not hard to find. Interior is roomy and among the list had the most attractive looks. Alos with MP# capability. I'm also sure economical in tis class. We own nga pala a vios. Downside is dami na meron. I think the pricing is a bit high for me.

Nga pala didn't include the carens masyado mahal than what it can boast. Di ko din gusto exterior looks lalo na sa harap. I'm sure you'll agree with me on this.

Suzuki APV II, this I'm not aware of. I think it's worth checking out. Te



I want to include pa nga grandis, kung a 1.1 lang yun. baka yun na. I like the looks eh.

I am still on the process of choosing any more input will be much appreciated.

as far as i can tell sa info mo your looking sana for a car n 7-8 ppl kaya sakyan well here are some inputs.

Fuzion - as far as i know bumpy ride since molye yung suspension. but i have to say its roomy kasi malaki sya. if ur looking for passenger capacity this will be one of your choices.

Grand Livina - nice ride, nice power, capacity mejo masikip in all honesty. but if mp3 player ang isa sa mga negative side 500 pesos lang ang solution jan. baka nga mas lower p. upside is pwede sya i dress up. ever saw one n naka 18 rims? grabe gwapo. sedan sya talaga not an mpv ehehehehehe. plus did you know n matipid sa gas yan? mga 14km a liter ACTUAL.

Crosswind - don't consider this. for the price its not worth it.

Innova - well since pumasok yung grand livina mejo may competition n yung innova. sure for a toyota magandang car to pero auv parin e. bumpy ride and all? for me ride parin ang important. problema naman sa previa nila which is ang counter part nila for the livina (mpv kasi ang livina di auv. previa ang mpv nila e) mahal.pero panalo nga lang sa features. pero if u want an auv go for the innova no doubt about it. improve mo nalang suspension for a better ride.

suzuki apv - actually value for money tong minivan n to. ang reklamo ko lang baka may tendency syang mawalan ng control dahil sa high center of gravity plus yung mejo manipis nyang body. i know someone who owns this la sya reklamo kasi grabe nga yung value for money nya. i think magkapresyo sila ngayon ng livina pero for a bigger vehicle lumalabas mas mura p sya.

have an agent n? ehehehehehehe im in the car indutry just incase. kung taga south k baka i can arrange a test drive for you ng livina and apv. di ata kasi masyado nagpapatestdrive ang toyota e. pero yung crosswind i cross out mo n ehehehehehe.
