you're buyin' a car, just because your sister is coming over for a visit!!???
perish the thought, sir!
just go rent one!
after she leaves, wala ka nang a-alagan pa.

SUV? MPV? AUV? who cares what they're labeled as? as long as the vehicle does what you expect it to do. personally, i'd go see which one of these two, offer more passenger comfort.

and if your mom is like mine, she will not want a car that she will have difficulty getting in and out of. ang gusto niya, u-upo na lang, as in, sedan.

ako mismo, i find it a hassle, getting in and out of the mux.

the new innova is not MPV, it's a diesel crossover if we are to based on the suspension system. this is the cheapest diesel crossover in the market considering the Santa Fe, Tucson, Mazda CX5 diesel and the upcoming HOnda cRV diesel are priced so much higher

Innova sakin. More powerful. Quiet engine. May cooler pa sya. Timing chain na po ata new innova.

Compute how much it will cost to rent a vehicle for the duration of your sister's stay here versus the depreciation cost of buying a vehicle and then selling it afterwards ... For example, 30 days x 2000 = 60,000 versus about 100T depreciation of a brand new vehicle when it comes out of the dealer ... also consider the new LTO rule about no registration, no travel policy ...

If the sister is paying for it, why not?

Innova specially since the mom will be riding it.

Get the Innova, I wouldn't recommend the base mu-X. Lacks ABS, EBD too.

OT.
there was this story from yesteryear.
part of the equipment in the service vehicle / towtruck of a prominent marquee, was a huge trapal or vehicle cover.
it was used to cover the identity of their stalled car.

[timtonymanu]

I recommend the innova sir.
Very bare yung mux ls mt
Yung innova G kahit papaano loaded na sa features
Engine wise, mas powerful din ang innova

[armscor40]

to all brother forumers who replied and share their thoughts sa choices po namin...a lot of thanks guys

allow me to clear little things a bit... the vehicle mentioned above will be used by my mother for her personal use after my sister's vacation and once in awhile i could borrow going here in tarlac and bulacan... this vehicle is for long term utilization para sa mother namin and family...and every vacation thereafter ng sis ko...i hope i answer the query of dr.d and apologize for not conveying the whole story sir to avoid confusion, my bad

namention ko lang SUV vs MPV/AUV because altho magkaiba ng category but the price is somewhat the same maybe w/ a little gap...

yes mam cathy, it will be a joint venture wish of my mom & sister...sa mother namin to experience comfort while riding a vehicle going to different places she wants to visits gusto lagi mamasyal kc naiinip sa bahay po...

i guess most the bros forumers opted sa INNOVA which nagugustuhan ko na din icheck next week if my mom will approve coz she will be deciding factor, my role is to explain to her the benefits of vehicle ownership and maintenance in the long run...

thanks bros and sis in sharing your thoughts...

sir walter, she will be arriving first week of May thats why this early we wanted to look around and if luck permits makapaglabas na kami ng unit...fully aware of the new memo ng LTO kaya before she comes andito na unit and hoping by that time meron na OR/CR, sir...

[armscor40]

baka meron po kau alam or kilala na dealer offering huge discounts and low monthly installment ng INNOVA G or E, kindly share the branch and sales rep ...TIA

If gagamitin din ng mother mo why manual kung pwede naman sa matic? and dont you think malaki for her ang mux at innova? lawakan mo pa choices mo sir baka pwede na sa need nyo ang smaller 5-seater suv.

sir she does not drive and being her personal driver i prefer the manual over matic...she wants to tag along her alalay & other family members usually 5 or more...ayaw nya compact nor big vans just a ride na comfortable cya to seat, ingress & egress and endure a long trip sa provinces
manual for me coz of low maintenance and diesel engine well bcoz of low price of fuel, after i look around i'll update you guys...thanks

Between the 2, Innova din ako. But then since its for your mom, suggestion ko is to check out both cars with your mom and then kung saan sya mas kumportable eh yun ang bilhin nyo.
