Grand Starex or Super Grandia?

[CVT]

.

Is that the Nissan Vanette?

Yes, bro... Kaya nga "old faithful" ang tawag ko.... :hysterical:

Huwag na lang nating pag-usapan ang konsumo ng gasolina,- tanggap ko na! Hahaha!

Drive and park sa mga masisikip na paradahan... ... Sa ibang salita,- pangragasa.. Original paint,- no hilamos....Pero, isa pa rin sa mga better looking rides sa aming VCP...

Sorry,- OT na... :twak:

Nakasakay na ako ng super grandia and gl grandia, iba yung ride comfort nung dalawa. Alam ko iba kasi rear suspension nila. Cant speak for the grand starex, pero maganda ride ng super grandia for me.hindi matagtag and hindi nakakahilo. As for power, important i guess is torque hindi naman top speed diba? Both hiace and starex maganda power band. Pero if ako pipili, id rather choose the super grandia. Madali pa ingress and egress for all passengers.

Bumpy ang ride ng Super Grandia at maingay sa loob ng cabin. Yan ang reklamo namin sa SG ng kapatid ko. Mahina humatak ang makina especially kung puno kami. Pareho lang sila ng makina ng Fort 2.5D4D, 102 HP lang compared sa more powerful CRDi powered Grand Starex.

Performance: Grand Starex
Comfort: Grand Starex

Ooooppppsssss, sorry to disappoint you bro.jdee12....

I have to admit that my peyborit tank in our garage is our Nissan Van, our old faithful, even if it is a gas guzzler....

Siya na lang kasi ang di kambyo (M/T) sa aming mga sasakyan....

(At iba ang kambyo ng Nissan Van namin- sporty,- walang masyadong play katulad ng Toyota Innova for example, na parang kambyo ng jeepney.... :hysterical:

Hahaha! Sabagay, ako rin. Hindi ang GS favorite ride ko! Medyo gamit na gamit lang talaga ngayon pero hindi pa rin nag eenjoy. A/T kasi. Favorite ko pa rin yung Toyota AUV ko. Hehehe!

[Brennt]

Grand Starex ka na lang boss... mas lamang sa halos lahat ng category vs. Grandia

Ayos to ah. Recorded lahat. Sana may ganyan din na SG owner

grandstarex talaga winner...pero winner padin kaya after 10years?...

This we'll have to see.

Although sa totoo lang, hindi mo rin alam kung winner din yung Grandia after 10 years - the only 'assurance' you have is the Toyota badge. While new models carry over a lot of older parts from the previous ones, lots of new, "unproven" parts also get introduced.

This is of course, unless you're talking about cars like the Crosswind - which has been around since the time of the dinosaurs (and certainly rides like it came from that time period).

Sa totoo lang, the Super Grandia was the de facto candidate when we were about to replace our year 2000 Hi Ace Grandia.

I was comparing the Starex VGT A/T to the Super Grandia with the fabric seats. Pero ang layo ng offer. The SG was P150K more expensive than the GS - and the SG came with steel wheels with caps! 4 A/T vs 5 A/T, 102HP vs ~170HP. Underspecced, overpriced.

Naisip ko nalang, kung maging masirain yung Starex after 5 years (warranty period), then we could use the proceeds of selling it plus the savings of P150K to purchase a new van. (This was our first Hyundai).

At this point in time and after 1 year and close to 20K KMs, it may certainly not be our last.

My friend's 2001 Starex Millenium is still running very well to this day. SOme interior fit and finish is not as good but overall, the vehicle is okay and reliable. That's 11 years already so i don't see why the GS can't follow suit.

Our family has a Grandia BTW. It's good and i like it but it could be better. It's really a car relegated to the driver most of the time and if it were for personal driving/use, i'd get the GS any day.

Overrated nga kasi yang Hiace eh.

Mura kasi tsaka malakas aircon and better suspension. Pero halos kasing-dami na din niya Hiace commuter. Toyota eh.

One could also ask the question of the Super Grandia's D4D engine. High pressure fuel systems break. A lot. An old school diesel might see 200-300k kms with no issues but pump recalibration, but many modern common rail diesels will need new injectors or new fuel pumps much sooner than that.

Thank you for sharing, akala ko yung GS ko lang ang malakas uminom ng krudo. Normal naman pala yung 6-8 km/l sa mga big van, mas malakas kasi FC ng GS ko kaysa 3.2 MS ko.


BTT. Mas mukhang durable yung suspension ng SGrandia sa mga rough roads compared sa GS. I noticed that when I passed Pagbilao with my GS and a convoy of SGrandia, naiwan ako.

Yung M/T na GL Grandia palang hindi na makahabol sa GS CVX A/T eh. Matic pa kaya.

Lamang lang ng Super Grandia, made in Japan. Yung interior nga lang dito na tinapos. From captain seats to last row. Pati yung headrest monitors at HU dito na kinabit.

Badge is what's keeping the SG in demand. The dad of a friend of mine is one who goes by the badge. Whatever's Japanese is preferred over Korean. He loves his slow, smoky Crosswind XUV to bits because it's durable, because it's Japanese. This thinking is what's keeping my friend from going the Hyundai route. Though my friend will be buying his next ride, surely he doesn't want to attract his dad's crosshairs especially when the Hyundai breaks down. And by break down, it could be the smallest niggle to massive failure.

True the Super Grandia is very spacious and has a commanding presence. The slab-sided mini-bus dimensions make it physically imposing indeed. But features-wise, the GS is the overall better pick. For a 9 seater it's got a lot of space. For an 11-12 seater, it's not as spacious as the SG.

naging backseat rider ako ng supergrandia maganda rin ang suspension nya maluwag para sa size ko at yung legroom ganun din. pero sa father ko 6ft tall medyo nasisikipan sya, pag aari ng utol ko, kaya nag decide silang magpalit ng starex gold.maganda maluwag at komportableng komportable ka, ganun din ang napansin ng father ko komportable at maluwag..ang d lang nila nagustuhan eh. yung mismong built nya. 2yrs lang yung starex yung hindge nya sa likod medyo may langitngit na. yung accessories tulad ng door handle at yung sa stoplights chroming nya natatangal na..window sa passengers seat medyo nadisalign na..engine halos same lang consumption sa supergrandia, medyo may lakas lang ng konti ang starex sa akyatan d sya yung parang lumalambot pag umakyat ng baguio, yung supergrandia eh mapapansin mo may konting slowdown o lambot pag paakyat...yun lang napansin ko..

[Sweetlucious]

My mom is planning to get a sg, but she already got a problem. Because me and my brother are refusing to drive it when our often absent driver is not around. Coz sobrang pang-chauffeur driven lang talaga tong van na ito. Wala pa kong nakita na owner driven na sg.
