5-7km/L?

Yung sa amin hindi naman ganyan.

2002 Starex Club A/T pa. Yung isang SVX M/T tipid din..

tipid pala ng Starex niyo sir, yung sa pinsan ko lakas din eh, 2001 na A/T.

Yung A/T kasi namin 7.2km/L yung pinaka malakas. Yung M/T naman 7.5km/L ang pinaka malakas.

Baka naman kasi the reason that sir pleck's Space Gear is more fuel efficient than the Starex is because the Starex is an A/T and the Space Gear is a manual, and also maybe because he is more good natured than his bayaw.

Between the two, I'd get the Starex, considering that they have the same chassis, the Starex has a comfortable ride- the main reason, along with the low price tag, it was bought by so many Filipino families, it's better spec'd than the Space Gear too. Moreover, the Space Gear has a column mounted MANUAL shifter,

which makes shifting work harder.

yes badtrip nga pag mag change ng gears mahirap...

iba iba naman taste natin at iba iba ang driving habbits

ang sinasabi ko pong starex is yun mga older model na katapat lang ng space gear hindi po yun mga bago ngayun

8-9 2k rpm tapos shift na ako

pwede rin 6 - 7 pag hataw mode hahah 2.5 to 3k rpm bago shift heheheh

mas ok talaga ang starex pero mas pinili ko spacegear dahil sa looks lang po hehehe

Baka wala pang Intercooler yung Starex ng kamag-anak mo?

Hindi rin naman CRDi yung sa amin eh. Turbo Intercooler lang

I'd say the starex, it has more parts given that it was a hit compared to the space gear. Its mas loaded too compared sa space gear. I like the millennium edition look

Have driven both,- Starex is miles ahead of its Spacegear sibling...... My last 3 vans were 3 generations of Starexes.... No issue with any of them.....
