S aircon sir oks ang nissan, toyota commuter oks ang porma, mitsubishi L300 van cheaper sa 2. Nakakaduda naman yung mga China van, mas mura sila compared sa jap vans. Starex mahal na din. On my opinion I pick mitsubishi L300 value for money * subok na... Goodluck!!!

[jrn29]

ubligado talaga mag mura ang mga china cars kasi mura talaga dun.
tsaka kasisimula pa lang kasi nila. kung mamahalan nila agad walang bibili sakanila hehe.

Naka-sakay na ko sa Urvan Escapade, Toyota Hi-Ace Commuter, L300 FB at Urvan Estate. All privately owned.

Pinaka-ok sakanila is the Toyota Hi-Ace Commuter, mabilis. Well, until you reach ~150kph kasi dun lang siya mawawalan ng hatak unlike the Starex VGT banat lang ng banat kahit 180++kph na. ;)

Second would be the Urvan Estate. Ok naman, looks better than the Commuter IMO. Mas rare kasi siya makita sa daan. Next would be the Escapade, maluwag naman. Malamig din. Comfortable... so-so. Last would be the L300 Versa Van, wala akong masabi. Mainit aircon, nakaka-hilo, mabagal... for utility talaga.

Kaya pag dun ako sa Versa van sumasakay, sa harap ako parati. Pag nasa likod, wala.. goodluck.

Nissan urvan escapade na lang. We own one, 78k km na odo reading for almost a year and walang major problem. Bearing, tires un lang.. It's an UV express and sometimes nirerent din pag may tourist sa lugar namin. Average FC is 11-12 km/L (mixed city and highway) according to our driver. Good airconditioning. But kung space at speed po hanap mo go for the hi ace commuter d4d.

Kung gusto mo kumportable pero matipid at mababang maintenance, get the M/T Starex TCI.

Escapade. Pwede na yun. Would get the job done well.

But if you can, Estate mas OK sana. Medyo uncomfortable and too upright ang seats ng commuter for me. The reclining features of the Estate/Escapade seats are all good too plus the fact that the seats are better shaped.

For general pang harabas and long-term use, Escapade gives good value. I personally don't think speed is a main requirement for these types of vehicles and use as it will just encourage the driver to run it fast and hard as i see out on the roads with those for hire vehicles.

The Hiace is faster but once you reach high mileages and encounter injector and turbo repairs, it will cost you dearly.

For personal use, i'd get a Hiace definitely (especially with it's better crash worthiness) however if its primary use is for business then the Urvan Escapade is still a contender.

A friend of mine is in a Garage Biz. He has a fleet of Hi-aces and Urvans. According to him, Hi-ace are the best ones to drive, matatag, mabilis but "madugo sa bulsa" especially kapag crdi related. Halos 6-digits daw ang gastos. He is selling his Hi-aces and will swap them for a newer Urvan.

Now, he prefers an older-slow vehicle but cheaper to maintain than a modern-fast van but expensive PMS.

Business eh saka na ang comfort. :D

I recommend the Toyota Hiace Commuter due to its durability and value for money. Since you're going to let people rent it, the Hyundai Grand Starex because it's more "people centered" compared to the more "work minded" Hiace. Also, it's comfortable enough for you to haul your family around. With a price of Php 1,262,000.00, it truly is the best choice for your business.

I chose urvan over hi ace commuter and grand starex. It has all the basics that you need, nothing complicated.

Got wifi, DVD player, monitors, and a lot more freebies.

Mas malakas ang bagong engine ng urvan kahit mas maliit ang displacement

Malamang yung lumang urvan ang sinasabi nila. Ibang engine yun e. Wala akong first hand experience. Pero sabi dito sa tsikot mas comfortable ang urvan kaysa sa matagtag na hiace. Test drive kayo sir

We have a 2008 Grandia GL. It's not the most powerful van in the market but it has more than enough power, is very reliable, efficient and spacious. I'd get this over the current new Urvan mainly because the Urvan is still a low-end narrow body variant. If the choice was between the URvan and Hiace Commuter, then i'd consider the Urvan more.

Turning off the aircon of the urvan when going uphill is a myth (or kalokohan lang ng mga driver). Never did that, and nakaakyat naman. Just don't expect your van to run like a sedan.

Although we haven't fully loaded it up I'm positive you don't need to turn off the a/c to go uphill. Re: fuel consumption, of course with the more powerful engine and stronger ac it could consume more than the toyota depending on how you use it.

I noticed you're choosing between hiace grandia (wide body) and nv350 (narrow body). If you really like the wide body I'd wait for the wide body version nv350. Otherwise the choices for me would be hiace grandia and grand starex. The seats even on the current narrow body 12 seater nv350 are a bit narrow for personal use compared to those two.

salamat po sa mga feedbacks sir's, about dun po sa turning on/off ng aircon ng urvan is mukhang totoo naman dahil nasabi po yun sakin nung may ari ng urvan na inarkila namin dati, sya mismo nag sabi hirap pag umakyat ng bagiuo ng bukas ang AC pag fully loaded, e sa pamilya naman namin medyo madami at pag may lakad gusto halos kasama lahat hehe, hindi naman din po ako nag eexpect na tumakbo yung van ng tulad ng sedan, yun bang tipong hindi hirap or hindi ka mapapahiya uphill e ok na
