Just get a Montero Sport 4x2 (1.3M) or Ford Everest 4x2 (apparently there's a promo wherein you can buy it for only 999K - but verify first).

Malayo presyo ng Montero and Everest from an Innova J. Especially yung Montero nasa 1.3M yun halos P600K difference from Innova J so my guess is those are out of budget. But to answer the question just get the Innova J VVT-i naman yan so it should be reliable and at the same time di annoying to drive and slow unlike the Crosswind.

masyadong malayo ang range ng ms at eve sa base model ng innova at xwind.

BTT: kung ako ang papipiliin i would choose the innova j. Why? It's more elegant and if you would consider the badge as a toyota then it's also a +1 on it.

Diba the innova j has a diesel variant also? ( correct me if im wrong ) pero for me, id get the d4d if your preference is the fuel consumption, although it has issues of hard starting, stalling etc. if you can bear w/ it then go get the d4d. but if you want a trouble free innova, go get the vvti

Toyota Innova na lang, regarding the previous post, there is a J D-4D variant M/T din lang. Up to now pa ba meron pa ring nagrereport ng d4d engine issues? Meron din kasi kaming D4D kaso maayos na maayos naman, never had problems after so long its been with us.
Funny I keep seeing some people recommending the Montero Sport left and right even if it's way out of budget for most people.

Ah meron pala.

Anyways, yup meron pa rin issues sa d4d like stalling, hard starting etc etc.

Siguro yung nakuha niyong fortuner ( based on your pic ) eh......yun ang 1 sa pinakabest unit nila

Nagloko na naman yung post. Anyway, marami akong kilalang naka D4D que innova man o fortuner, buti naman at walang minamalas. Pero nag take na rin kami ng precautions, yung pinapakargahan namin ng diesel e yung mga bagong station lamang ng petron. Solid offer pa rin talaga yung Innova kahit J man, kung kaya istretch ng konti sa E, sulit na rin kasi drivers side airbag, power windows at locks na rin ata.

Altho a happy owner of a 6 year old crosswind, I wouldnt recommend it anymore, masyado na matanda ang design di na makatarungan para sa presyo, masyado na binubwenas ang Isuzu kung may bumibili pa neto, Innova ako this time
