Battle of the Compact MPVs (Ertiga, APV, Avanza, Mobilio, etc)

In this segment, I'd still go for the Avanza. Say what you want about it being unrefined but it is proven to be reliable with many units in cab and patrol service. This also means that parts are not a problem anywhere. The Toyota badge ensures good resale value when the time comes too. I say it's a good car if one only wants a reliable appliance that ferries from point A to point B without fail.

colleagues who own an avanza have only one complaint: the 1.5 AT guzzles gas. other than that, it's a good vehicle.
but to me, the top choice in mpvs is still the innova diesel. i really recommend one saves up for this. you won't regret it.
and, i daresay the innova seems to be so well made, i do not see many problems if one were to buy a decently-maintained used one.

Ditto.

But the innova is in another category: full sized mpv, I think.

well, yes. it's 13 inches longer x 3.2 inches wider x 2.6 inches taller than the ertiga. perhaps the TS can live with it..?
after all, he did say he will ferry 5 passengers and lotsa baggage..

Joint venture between Suzuki and Marutu.

So, hybrid? Hihi

But they build it in India and Indonesia I think.

You are right.

Lalo na pag sanay ka sa mga higher variant ng H, T, at M you would call it cheap. But hey, mura siya at wala reklamo si esmi

I go to suzuki entiga.. Ones of the reason kasi pag naluma ang mga avanza na taxi at naka avanza ka rin e malamang ma fefeel mo na luma narin ang car mo.. Yan ang dis advantage ng car na naging taxi.. On suzuki entiga dahil kakaunti lang sila and kung lahat ng may ari e ma alaga sa car e malamang even 10 years mo ng gamit e baka hindi mo ma feel na luma na.. My opinion.. na parang vios vs swift..

it's all in the mind, sir.
if you think your car is decrepit, it's probably because you are not taking good care of it.
if the rundown avanza's insides reminds you of your own.. it's not the rundown avanza's fault.

Yes sir. Pero pag nakita mo na luma na kasabayan, tipong marami ng uuga ugang avanza sa daan e malamang na feel mo rin na luma na ang car mo..

Di ko magets logic mo. Ibig sabihin pala para di maluma agad sasakyan mo bili ka ng mga di bumebenta na sasakyan? Di naman sa dami yan kundi sa design eh. Gaya nung almera, ang design nya luma so kahit bagong labas mukhang 90s car pa rin.

Yan naman po ay opinion ko lang.. I mean po ay pag naging taxi ang car model parang ang bilis maluma ng car..

Ano ba sinisinghot mo?

[philsat]

Ano ba sinisinghot mo?

Opinion po.. Pag ginawang taxi ang isang car model parang ang bilis ma luma.. Base sa friend ko na sales ng toyota e balak nga daw sana ni toyota na hindi pwd e taxi ang mga car nila kasi daw bumababa ang value pero no choice sila kasi doon maraming binta..

[Synth007]

Since when sir? Toyota never made that statement. Patanong na lang sa friend mo kung saan nya nakuha yun. Toyota supported taxi trans since the beginning. And about the declining value of car since model can be used as taxi is underated. A good sales agent will never say that unless they are a competitor of toyota. You could also look on the resale value of lets say an avanza to other mpv's... For sure that will be evident enough... Just my thoughts

Talaga? Napaka gullible mo naman pala?

Ang laki ng market for taxi fleet. Unless ikaw ang humawak sa TMP baka ipagbawal mo nga.

Bumababa ang value? Lagi number 1 ang toyota sa sales. Do you think issue pa sa kanila yung notion na nagiging "leser value" dahil ginagawa silang taxi?

Dito lang sa Pinas at sa mga kagaya mo ang may ganyang thinking.

Wag masyado maniwala sa mga boladas ng SA, minsan hindi nila alam kung ano minamarket nila.

Lakas magimbento. Yan nga ang primary reason number 1 ang toyota e.

Well may psychological effect talaga kapag ginawang taxi ang car model mo nang di mo inaasahan. I got that frustrating feeling when same model of my previous Altis was turned into a taxi. Then again when a tsikoteer posted pix of an M3 na ginawang taxi.

However, for this segment, before you buy, prime yourself and expect that it may be turned into a taxi kasi may demand for that purpose. . .
