Avanza or Innova?...

**Evo9** · February 10th, 2008 03:59 PM

hey guys..i would like to ask u, which car is better for the performance, comfortability, and endurance during long travel time?...

**rockers_kitoy** · February 11th, 2008 05:08 AM

The bigger, the better bro.

Better nyan, try sitting in sa dalawa (as a driver and a passenger). Nothing beats a first hand experience.

And bias na din ako... i have my Innova

chill...

There is no contest on this query. Innova definitely is the better ride between the two.

Of course, it will depend on your requirement/expectation and your budget. So, if you will be kind enough to share these with the group, then we could probably make a more-informed recommendation.

I agree with the above posters... this is not a one-to-one comparison... The Avanza and the Innova cater to different categories and needs... The Innova clearly has a bigger engine (which translates to more power) and is clearly a bigger vehicle (which can seat more passengers and/or carry more cargo)... However, depending on your actual needs (possibly, you're still single and don't expect a lot of passengers and/or cargo most of the time), the Avanza might actually be more suited for you...

Go to a showroom and try to see for yourself. When I got our Innova a few months back i was fortunate enough to get a first hand look-see and ride of the Avanza. The ride was nothing special, but it will get you from point a to b comfortably. What i didn't like was the lack of sound insulation, u can literally hear a lot of noise through that body shell! But then again, for its price, you can't really expect much.

All the above posts are right, at the end of the day, it will really depend on what you're gonna use the car for. But, personally, i prefer the bigger Innova coz of the available engine options, whether diesel or gas, vs the Avanza that only has displacement choices.

based on your requirements, innova will be my answer.

ako avanza binili ko because of the budget. :P

**_Qwerty_** · February 11th, 2008 01:06 PM

ako avanza din binili ko.. kasi masyado nang mahal yung A/T nang Innova.. i was looking for an A/T that can sit at least 6.. compare mo din 3rd row sitting nang Innova and Avanza.. parang naluluwagan pa ako sa 3rd row nang Avanza..

I was also in that dilema b4, I chose Avanza for the ff. reasons:
1. Its a compact vehicle very easy to maneuver especially in Philippine road na napaka narrow and so many obstacles like vendors, tricycle, pedicab, jeepneys, etc. Very easy to park too.
2. It's fuel efficient imagine 12kpl against 6-7kpl. Almost driving 2 Avanzas in 1 Innova gas. Lalo nat pa grabe ng pa grabe traffic and pa mahal ng pa mahal ang gas.
3. Very versatile just like owning a car, an AUV, pick-up, and a mini van. Like car because its small you can use it as everyday car. Nakakapagod pag dala mo araw2 malaki. My percent usage is 80% I'm alone in the car.
4. Its a new series and design, so yung next generation avanza e matagal pa, 5 yrs from now maybe, therefore higher resale value. 4 years na Innova pag may dumating na all new Innova bigla bababa resale ng 1st generation Innova
5. Most importantly is the price.

Re: Sound Insulation-AFAIK halos lahat ng car wala sound insulator except yung mga hi-end vehicle like mid and full size sedan like camry, accord, benz, bmw, jaguar, mid and full size SUVs like RAV4, Prado, Pajero, Tahoe and luxury vans like E150, Suburban and etc... Kaya sila malalaki bcoz of insulation.

Futuristic din ang design ng avanza. In near future compact na mga vehicle. Di na uso mga naglalakihan SUV bcoz of global warming. Ewan ko ba sa Pinoy ang hilig sa malalaki car. Sa Italy and Japan puro compact na vehicle bcoz of gov't regulation.
