2015 Advie GLX or 2015 Crosswind XT

[Dudee]

I have narrowed my options to these 2... bnew para less headaches..

I think seating capacity and ride quality are the similar..

San sa ok ang aircon? Sino sa dalawa ang mas reliable? Thanks

Given the long surviving units of both these models, I guess this is no longer a question of reliability.
I can only attest for the adventure's aircon, still works fine after 7 years, the only maintenance performed was cleaning.
Although both vehicles are matagtag, as a passenger I find it more comfortable to ride the Adventure.

No offense sir but may I ask why the Innova J Diesel is not in your shortlist? Less than 900K din sya at definitely mas comfortable pa.

Testdrive na yan sir para makadecide na ! ! !

then get the E variant.
nothing is free, you know. there are always trade-offs.
if you test-drive the innova, you might see what your trade-offs are, vis-a-vis advie and crossie.
bottomline, the innova is argueably the overall superior vehicle, in my opinion.

tama po kayo..

my limiting myself til 900k... thats about it.. i have seen innova but never tried driving it.. Innova E is around 1.06M while a dealer gave Advie Glx at 840k and Croswind XT L.E. at 887K... medyo malayo po difference sa innova.

Mas ok po pala aircon ng advie... mali po pala notion ko that mitsu aircon is not that reliable.. Thanks for the input

[Dudee]

double posting .. sorry

Yes, I wonder why you didn't consider the Innova J. It's also comfortable car

Aircon: mu vote for adventure
Fuel efficiency: vote for crosswind

Advie 12km/l
Mixed driving.

I'd go for a slightly used Innova over these two. Its a much more modern vehicle and yet has proven to be reliable.

brand new lang daw, sir..
ayaw ng sakit-ulo.
pero okey sakit-bulsa.
heh heh.

some people would rather lose money, than suffer something they do not understand, like car break-down.
and i wouldn't blame them. most of us understand money... few will understand cars.

For what purpose is the car?

I would only get the Adventure/Crosswind if it's for business use.

For personal/family use, the Innova is exponentially better than these two. However, I understand it's out of budget.

I would suggest the Avanza or Ertiga instead. These aren't as rugged as an Adventure/Crosswind, but these are much more comfortable and modern. Not to mention cheaper too.

752k for an AT Ertiga GL, 712k for the MT. Yes it'll have higher fuel consumption than the Adventure/Crosswind, but since it's much cheaper, you still spend less in the long run.

Hi Sir, sorry po kasi bago lang po ako nagregister. Nag-try po ako maghanap ng thread para dito pero ito na po yung nakita ko na related.

Anyway, sir, nasabi niyo po na ang Crosswind ay bagay lang kung business use (UV express, I'm guessing?) at may mga mas maganda/ mas komportable na sasakyan pampamilya. Ang question ko po: kung ang budget po para sa pampamilyang sasakyan ay up to 900K lang, ano po ba mas sulit, brand new na crosswind or 2nd hand na montero (2009-2011 GLS models po, may nakikita ako na less than 900K).

Ako po kasi, gusto ko na sana yung montero. Kung mapapatignan naman po sa mechanic before bilihin. Yung tatay ko po, mas gusto crosswind. Takot kasi siya dahil sabi niya mahal daw ang parts ng montero, ang crosswind daw mura lang. Hindi ko po alam kung sino may better choice sa amin. Eh hati po kami sa pagbayad sa bibilihin na sasakyan.

Salamat po. And sorry po ulit kung naliligaw ang post na ito.

Between the two, for mostly just city usage, I'd go for the Adventure. It has the better looking interior. This is a big factor for me, much more than a good looking exterior, since it is where you would be sitting in. The engine is geared well for city use and has good highway legs. Though it huffs and puffs in the hills. This is seen among taxicabs in Baguio. Adventure's seem to be having a hard time tackling steep inclines while the Crosswind's run around like mountain goats. Though from what I can see it is less susceptible to smoke belching as compared to the Crosswind.

if TS is from western mindanao...
i'd recommend to him, the model that has an outlet in his area.
hirap magpagawa ng kotse kung walang piyesa...

Crosswind XT LE owner here, albeit the 2006 version.


The vehicle is still fine. No major problems. Airconditioning has not been serviced but works fine until this days.
Just change regularly engine oil, oil filter, and fuel filter and it will not give you problems.

Brought it at the time when i cannot yet afford an SUV (yes, has an MS in the garage today and the ride is world's apart but the Crosswind is a very reliable car).

I tot 4d56 are smoke belchers...

I've seen my fair share of smoke belching 4D56's whether they be L300's, Adventure's or Montero's. But then I've seen even more smoke belching Crosswind's. Whether it is a design flaw, result of poor maintenance or both I don't know. However I have a relative who has a 2012 IPV for business use. It uses the very same engine as the Crosswind. The car is religiously maintained. There is no visible smoke under normal driving, though there are lots under full throttle. I've been told that it was once apprehended by ASBUs and failed. They brought the IPV to a mechanic who somehow modified the exhaust (didn't know what he did) that greatly reduced the smoke. Apparently this mod is well known among 4JA1 fleet service operators.
