2017 Avanza vs 2017 Ertiga

[ice15]

Hi guys my cousin is currently choosing between Avanza and Ertiga. She's asking which one is better in terms of reliability, comfort, maintenance, availability of parts, and fuel.

Papabasa ko sa kanya to. Thanks!

Between the 2... For a primary car/daily driver... My vote goes to the Avanza...

Easily available parts, good resale value, easy to maintain. Especially if you're using it outside Manila.

If you plan to load it up with 7 passengers... Stay away from the 1.3AT

Avanza resale value, last I looked, was not as good as AUVs like the Innova and Crosswind.

Same goes with the Wigo.

You can still sell them, because they're Toyota, but they don't have the same halo of invincibility as Toyota's main brand products.

If you're looking at the 1.5G AT Avanza (943T), better get the the Mobilio (909T) or the BRV(998T)..

Between 2017 Avanza and 2017 Ertiga, I'd choose the Avanza. If you plan to keep it for next nth years. Spare parts should never be a problem. Get the 1.5 Avanza.

Avanza is my choice. Get the 1.5 G. Why? Easy to maintain and of course Toyota parts availability especially if you intend to keep the car for long years... I'm not saying that Ertiga is not good. Test drive both and decide which car your cousin really like most. In the end, it's your cousin's final choice that will matter.

Agree with this one, better engine, design and interior for the Honda's.

The Ertiga drives and feels like a sedan. Mas konti ang tagtag compared sa Avanza. Pero si Avanza naman mataas ang ground clearance compared kay Ertiga, which helps if madaming potholes sa lugar nyo or medyo bahain.

As for the ffg:
"reliability, comfort, maintenance, availability of parts, and fuel."

Avanza - "maintenance, availability of parts, fuel efficiency (if 1.5)". Comfort is so-so, my parents owns one, and medyo matagtag talaga ang avanza, whenever I drive their car, extra alalay ako sa brakes para mas controlled and subtle yung mga bumps and potholes.

Ertiga - "comfort(passenger wise, less ang tagtag), fuel efficiency is a tad better than the avanza 1.3". Not sure with maintenance and availability of parts

Both cars are reliable. Reliability comprises of multiple variables.
e.g. The vehicle would be reliable, long as you follow your regular maintenance schedule, and fix or attend to any issues even the slightest one.

If between the two lang talaga ang choices. I'd go with the Avanza. Hindi man sya purely toyota, it's still a toyota. And the fact na napaka-raming Avanza sa pilipinas, mas madali makahanap ng replacement parts.

Pero kung papayag sya sa other options. I'd have to agree sa recommendation above ni sir *_Qwerty_ na Mobilio. The recent facelifted mobilio looks heaps better than the two options, inside and out.

If worried ka na mahal maintenance ng Honda. Then I have to disagree with you. More often than not, sa Honda twice a year ka lang magpapa PMS. Every 6months or 10k whichever comes first. Unless maka 80k mileage ka per year, then ibang usapan na yun hehe.

Marami din pong ertiga sa daan, kung yun ang basis natin na maraming spare parts tingin ko pantay lang ang Avanza at Ertiga dun sa department na yun. Actually gulong gulo din ako sa 2 kotse na to, pero siguro personal opinion ko sa ertiga ako kasi mas mura siya compared to avanza since almost same sila in all departments.
