August 23rd, 2010 04:25 PM #1Got this car for almost 5 years na and she serves me well. It has D4D engine but so far di pa naman siya nagloko. We usually have long trips ( 800KM) of at least 3x a year, with 5-6 grown ups incl myself and 2 kids, and sometimes a sack of rice when going back to Manila, so full pack most of the times , and the rest is city driving lang.
Now, me & my wife is thinking of getting a newer car that can serve us like the Innova or better. I am more towards:
- Power/speed
- reliability
- spare parts availability
- FC
- Diesel (CRDi) (gas could be considered)
It doesn’t really be a MPV, mid to full size SUV is ok. Budget is PHP1.3M. Need to purchase one before October this year. Please help me to decide. Salamat po sa inyong mga inputs.

off the top of my head...
1. fortuner (fantastic deals sa slightly used 2nd hand models)
2. everest (same as above)
3. kia carnival
i personally prefer automatics to manuals (i used to be a diehard manual fan)... pansin ko nun kahit ano kotse ko dala pag long drive at manual tranny pirmi ako pagod na pagod at nanginginig yung mga binti ko.
so bumili ako automatic. now i'm fresh as a daisy kahit pagudpod pa takbuhin ko. i suggest you go automatic na din since you do very long distance driving (800 km? taga samar ka ba? dati nagdrive ako papunta catbalogan 800 km e).

Another innova ? :hysterical:
On the serious note ...
A fortuner would do. Or if you would want, a brand new santa fe. Fast. Comfortable and worth the money.
Priced though at 1.4xxx if im not mistaken. ;)

For 1.3M, nothing beats the Innova as a tough family carrier. It may not have the gravitas of a truck based 7-seater SUV, but it serves its purpose very very well. Plus, the 7-seater SUVs start at around 1.4M for their base models.
So I say just keep your Innova :P
