    Brand new or secondhand?

    The Mazda E2000 is powerful, gas engine kasi, and roomy, but parts might be hard to find out there. The Urvan and Hiace both have big diesel engines, but they're relatively expensive secondhand.

    We've driven an L300 FB fully loaded through the mountains of Nueva Ecija, kayang kaya naman, but it's definitely not as powerful as the other vans out there. Parts are cheap and plentiful. Unfortunately, secondhand prices are a bit high if you want one with no body rust.

    L300 for those with limited budget and wants reliability

    Urvan and HiAce for those with higher budget.

    MB100, Starex and Carnival/Sedona for those who value features.

    if second hand, you might want to consider 4x4 mitsubishi delica or 4x4 toyota hi ace. maganda ang interior at malakas pa. just make sure na maganda ang conversion ng bibilhin mo.

    Surplus - Delica 2.8L DSL 4x4, mataas ang ground clearance, kaso yong sliding door sa likuran is on the Left (danger) side

    Second hand - L300, reliable, proven engine, parts are available even in the province, madali nga lang mga heat up yong makina (at least in my unit nung una so we installed an auxillary fan), sliding door on both right & left side.

    Brandnew - Nissan Urvan can accomodate 15px, may promo ngayon

    Kung kaya ng budget i'd go with the Nissan Urvan Escapade... tried and proven. Go to the province and this is also a popular choice.

    If you have a tight budget you'll be looking at those Korean vans (H100) but set aside extra PPP for repairs and reconditioning.

    1si choice hi-ace... kung pang karga communter, kung personal use grandia... lakas at tibay ng 2L na makina. lakas pa aircon... kahit kargado di hirap sa akyatan...top speed 120 lang kasi pang karga ang gearing ng hiace...

    yung urvan ok din pero hirap sa akyatan... mas mataas lang top speed ng urvan sa hi ace. got 155kph with 8 people and konting bagage... pero ingat sa pag overtake. iba ang gearing ng urvan bitin palagi sa overtaking, unlike the hiace...lakas ng low gears ng hi-ace.

    but both have bery reliable diesel engines... at matibay mga pangilalim kahit mahal price ng orig parts...
