    we are planning to buy a small 7 seater for my wife.
    850- 900t budget cash.

    ano po kaya mas ok sa 2, bnew 1.5 g avanza AT (850T) or 2nd hand kia carens (2012 model- 800T)

    my wife will drive it, kaya she wants small lang sana pero 7 seater. 5 persons lang naman kami, for emergency daw ok na yung may extra seat.

    consideratios are:

    fuel efficient, easy maintenance.

    any other suggestions that fits my budget?

    thank you

    you might consider a diesel innova.. used or new.. it'll probably be easier to service than the kia.. puede rin adventure, which is a tad smaller than the innova.
    i have read a few comments about the avanza... it's not too fuel-efficient..daw..

    your wife will be driving. get brand new for peace of mind. mahirap pag nasiraan sya sa alanganing oras at daan.

    avanza 1.5g a/t oto ko - pag city driving 7-8km/L.
    mixed city+highway - 11-13km/L.
    pero depende pa rin yan sa driving
    habits.
    si misis gumgamit pag wala ako. wala naman siya problema
    sa pagddrive.
    ok n ok sya for all-around use at di hirap sa akyatan kahit 7
    sakay mo.

    May kamaganak kami na nakaavanza. Malakas daw sa gas. Purely city driving. Pero masaya pa rin naman. Its one of the cheapest 7 seaters eh. Personally if ill ever need a big car and im on a budget. Mag2nd hand diesel innova nalang ako. I might take the plunge with the chevrolet spin pagnakakuha ng magandang feedback. Pero parang wala atang bumili nito sa pilipinas. Lol. Wala pa ko nakikita sa kalsada.

    eto dimension ng innova and avanza:

    Innova: Overall L x W x H (mm) 4,580 x 1,770 x 1,755
    Avanza:Overall L x W x H (mm) 4,140 x 1,660 x 1,695

    kasama din Innova sa pinagpilian namin dati - pero nalakihan kami.
    saka yung pinaka-bare na model ng Innova na b/new, halos kapresyo
    na ng highend trim ng Avanza (1.5G).

    and Innova me diesel variant nga pala. Ang avanza puro Gas.
