    ok naman ang avanza.. i had mine for over 6 yrs now.. kaya lang yung AT nga medyo malakas sa gas kung city driving.. pero walang problema sa maintenance and parts..

    have you looked at the Spin? same size nang avanza.. may diesel din..

    If i can find a fresh, slightly used Carens, it would be good. It's more efficient compared to the Innova. If not, then try to swing for an Innova E diesel (brand new) over the Avanza 1.5L. Kung between the two choices and you want peace of mind (brand new and not much maintenance issues) then go for the Avanza.

    I have a 2008 Avanza 1.3J. its more than 5 year old car and never had trouble. it is serving me and my family well.

    I chose this car in the same reason as you except that I chose manual transmission for better FC and most of all pasok na pasok sa budget ko

    maluwag sya 2 for my kids and yaya, and sometimes on the weekends gamit din namin sya for family outings.

    My wife is comfortable driving it kasi para lang daw syang nagmamaneho ng kotse.

    so far change oil and tune-up lang mostly ang maintenance.

    For me, I will go for brand new.

    I own a 2011 Kia carens a/t and a 1.3 2012 avanza e a/t. The carens has a more powerful 2 liter crdi Diesel engine. I average 35,000km/year using the carens and it has given me no problems so far. Has log in a total of 67thousand km. The avanza has a
    Bouncy ride and you can feel the shift shock with the a/t version. Both good cars, both versatile and can seat 7 people. I believe you can't go wrong choosing either vehicle.

    Wait for the Chevrolet Spin Diesel variant, if not go for the Brand New Avanza or an Innova Diesel variant.

    If you can save up a bit more for an Innova E 2.5 A/T, better.
