I've driven almost all the AUV/MPV in the market, between the 2 Crosswind ako hands down, there's just something I don't like about the Adventure na hindi ko ma explain, para di ako gaanong kumportable sa Adventure, mas kumportable pa ako mag drive ng Tamaraw FX, pero to each his own, opinion ko lang. Ang ayaw ko naman sa Crosswind lately eh masyadong mainit sa mata ng mga hinayupak na nanghuhuli ng smoke belching, feeling ko nga kahit hindi mausok ang sasakyan basta nakitang tatak Isuzu yari na sa mga ogags. Ever considered the Innova? By far yan ang pinakagusto ko sa mga na drive ko.

sa akin lang ito ha? i've driven both. i am more comfortable with the Advie.
better driving comfort, less tagtag.
however, i feel that the Crosswind has better torque.

[Ryan Santos]

thank you po both. medyo tight budget po kaya out si innova. kahit yung j nila. tnx2

My vote goes for the Crosswind XT. Adventure is good too somehow,

here's why...

-when it comes to engine to engine basis. Crossiwnd is much more maintenance efficient..Isuzu 4JA1 comes on a timing gears which no need to replace overtime or at 100k kms. while the Mitsibishi 4D56 comes on a timing belt (two timing belt). Its an additional saving for maintenance cost ;) though when it comes to power to power rating, both are great..they are perfect for hauling (but I feel crosswind is much more powerful and much bit more torque in action than the Adventure) For efficiency, hands down, they are both 2.5 so no problem with that!

Parehas lang mausok, marami na masyado sa kalye at more than a decade technology (mas matanda adventure kasing edad pa ng FX).

Mas comfortable ang ride sa adventure compared sa crosswind, mas tahimik rin ang makina, ang main advantage lang ng crosswind ay ang mataas na floor price resale value kasi sa line of thinking na isuzu engine.

Torque mas ok ang Crosswind, so kung heavy traffic ka lagi and stop and go, mag croswind ka.. Pero kung di naman ganun ang byahe mo, mag adventure, sa presyo ng crosswind na XT baka yung mid end na yan ng adventure.

medyo bias ako sa adventure because i own one.. pero bago ako bumili noon pinagpilian ko din yan 2..

interior: adventure
masyadong plain ang interior ng crosswind lalo na yung XT (sayang wala na yung XTi yun sana kukunin ko) sa adventure medyo modern na yung interior at dashboard.

exterior: adventure
mas ma porma ang adventure masyadong utilitarian ang crosswind pero kung sa XUV/Sportivo mas pogi yan..

Engine: 4d56
well the 4JA1 as they say is bullet proof daw.. pero grabe ang usok nyan kahit idle compared sa 4d56.. hindi ka tatagal sa garage mo na naka idle yan kasi ma suffocate ka talaga sa usok.. timing belt change is at 100K kms almost 8 years of use yan average of 12K kms per year.. hindi ka nga magpapalit ng timing belt sa 4ja1 sakit naman ng katawan ang aabutin mo sa sobrang engine shaking nyan..

under chassis: crosswind
may Achilles heel ang adventure.. ball joint.. it needs checking every PMS kasi pag napabayaan yan pwedeng mahugot.. yung sa akin after 2 years may konting kalog na.. pinalitan ko agad * 750 each

[vvti2.0]

Mahina rin under chassis and pati chassis ng crosswind.

Compare mo ang same age na crosswind, adventure and revo.

Mas madali lumubog kaha ng crosswind.

[chronicle]

wow. nice insights mga gurus.

how about km/l? im on a lookout din sa next na sasakyan namin.

thanks..

[OTEP]

Driven both also.

The Adventure drives like any mid-90's Pajero. The Crosswind has more noise and cabin vibration.

For day to day use, the light brown shade of the Crosswind is so hard to keep clean. My pal has one and he uses is alone most of the time but that shade of beige really attracts dirt like a magnet. Our other pal's 03 adventure with its dark gray interior still looks cleaner than my pal's 2011 unit.

Not sure what color interior the adventure is sold in nowadays.

have you considered the diesel innova? the basic model is in the same price ballpark..
some users say the innova is superior to either of these two...

My uncle just got one of these base model innovas. Toyota dealer threw in free power locks and alarm. He added another 28k for power windows.

Best part was, dual airbags and anti lock brakes are now standard on all innova models. . Crosswind and adventure never had those safety features.

I would choose the Crosswind, for the extra space. Engine wise I feel the Isuzu is more superior but may be a little more noisier and a bit jittery compared to the Adventure.

Adventure user here, and naturally I'll vouch for it. In paper, the Xwind has a wee bit more torque and horsepower, but I noticed that aside from the base variants, the other Xwinds have rather big wheels and bulky bodies. Heavier+bulkier=slower.

Here's what I like about the Advie:
1. Dirt cheap maintenance: Yep, the newer CRDIs may be more powerful, but they will suck you dry every time you bring them for PMS (8K for oil change as per my brother's Hilux vs. 1.4K for mine, and yes, I do the change-oil myself).
2. Decent power: The Advie's torque cannot be discounted, provided you learn how to do double clutch for those daring overtaking maneuvers. 80-90 kph for the Advie is just fine, at 100 and above, it will sound like a Fokker plane.
3. Advie's slim profile: This factor is usually overlooked. The advie can squeeze in 7 adults (6 is comfortable). Aside from that, it is slim enough to traverse tight secondary roads and Philippine streets.
4. Matipid: At 90kph, you can do 12km/liter on the highway. At 70-80kph, you get 14.++km/liter. Don't worry about running at "only" 90kph, any speed more than that is potentially dangerous for ANY vehicle or pedestrian.
5. Ain't Hot: You won't worry that some random carjacker will take interest in risking their or your life for that Advie.
6. Cheap parts: I don't know if this is true with the Xwind, but Advie parts are abundant, cheap, and can be found anywhere.

Of course there are times I yearn for a more powerful vehicle, but that is more for "pogi" appeal than for practical purposes. And even if I upgrade to a proper SUV, I won't let go of my Advie. HTH

Ayaw mo Innova, may diesel din yun. Mas sulit yun.

Taga naman oil change mo, oil and oil filter lang palit dito sa copany service namin wala pa 1,300 eh. Delo Gold ultra gamit namin tapos OEM filter. Yung hilux nang brother mo baka yung 3.0ltr yun.

Tsaka di hamak na mas matipid innova kesa advie or xwind.

8K for oil change as per my brother's Hilux HTH[/QUOTE]

sobra naman yan! baka may iba pang kasama yan na hindi nasabi ni brother..
... synthetic oil? ...premium engine flush?
heh heh.

* RY_Tower: Well, that's the approximate of how much I spend, but it's within the ball park isn't it?

* dr.d: That's what he said when I was comparing PMS costs between SUVs.

I'm not trying to start a debate or dwell into collateral matters. Just a first hand user sharing what for me are virtues of the Advie. The Innova may be good but the TS was asking between Advie or Xwind. By sharing my input, I was just trying to help the TS. I hope such opinion is respected.

Medyo mahirap magkwentuhan sa loob ng crosswind compared sa adventure kasi mas maingay ang makina.
Mas comfortable pati ride ng adventure, kapag gls kinuha mo may gps and dvd na din kaso at that price range konti na lang innova na.
