Yep, and which models are you referring to? For people, cargo and mixed hauling, I'd go with the Starex. But for more go-anywhere versatility, I'd go with the Everest.
It'll be mainly used as a family car. I like the ride and the leg room of the Starex. The only doubts I have is its durability. Will the Starex still function well enough in 4-5 years time?
Visit the "Starex" thread in the SUV board for more experiences from owners. I would recommend the Starex for family car purposes. It's very roomy for both people and cargo. Durability is good for as long as you don't abuse it. Our Jumbo Starex from late '98 is still running well, with some TLC from my Dad. And he uses it on a day-to-day basis.
Matibay naman din ang Starex pero nasa sayo din yun. Depende sa gamit mo.
Hindi naman ako binigyan ng problema ng Starex ko. 7 years=171T.KMS na ang mileage. Alaga ko lang sa maintenance ang Starex ko. Nung na overhaul bumalik sa dati ang performance ng Starex ko.
medyo malayo kasi ang pinagpipilian mo pero mas comfortabe kung Starex ang kukunin mo, at mas maluwag.
