I can give comments on my 2007 9-seater Starex GRX M/T , but not on 2007 Innova G AT Diesel or even Starex A/T:

Well... I choose M/T primarily to conserve more on diesel fuel (diskarte na lang kung magtitipid ka o hahataw ka sa highway).

Sa city driving medyo may kahirapan ng konti ang M/T kaysa A/T kasi di maganda ang traffic flow dito sa M.Mla. Hirap apak-apakan ba yung clutch. Pero sa highway.... advantage ang MT lalo na sa overtaking... kahit sa flat, uphill o kaya downhill ... ang sarap diskartehan ang driving.

On 22 April 2009, I go to Cagayaan Valley and go back to Manila on 23 April. Yung intercooler turbo combined with CRDI ang laki ng tulong sa overtaking lalung-lalo na sa zigzag uphill climbing sa bundok ng Sta Fe, Nueva Viscaya.

Ang consumption ko with the distance of 543 km (from Manila-Tuguegarao-Amulong-Tuguegarao including natulog yung mga anak ko na nakatigil at bukas ang aircon for 1.5 hours) ay 9.18 km/li.

Pero nang pauwi naman kami (Tuguegarao-Manila, 485Km) ang consumption ko ay ng 10.11 km/li. Naging matipid siya kasi dire-diretso lang ang travel at isa lang ang stop-over namin, sa San Jose, Nueva Ecija.

Very Good yung riding comfort ng Starex, kasi yung mga passengers ko himbing ang tulog kahit humahataw ako sa rough roads.

Kapag city driving, ang consumption nya ay 6-7 km/li depende sa kundisyon ng traffic.

Over-all maganda ang Starex kung ang pag-uusapan ay gamit pang pamilya. Malamig ang aircon, roomy at comfortable ang pasahero even long distance driving. Isa pa, kaya nya kahit 12 ang pasahero medyo siksikan nga lang kayo sa loob.

Took a GRX AT to Baguio.... did about 8.6 mixed highway/traffic driving... which isn't bad, considering we were going at a good clip on the highway (our AT Crosswind did similar economy... 8.6 mixed, 10 highway on our other Baguio trip).

Only problems I've heard of for the Starex is the AC and the rare AT failure. Other than that, it's not any worse than any other big van out there.

I think that the GRX is a bit too soft, though... over some wavy highway roads, you can develop some seasickness... but it is miles more comfortable than an Innova.

The Starex will surely be more expensive, but I'm sure it will be way more comfortable and spacious. The Starex then gets my vote.

On a side note, I think the Hi-ace is more comparable to the Starex, as both are vans, whereas the Innova is an AUV.
