    Ano mas okay sa dalawa? I just checked both units today and we are inclining towards the Starex. Here are some points me and my wife arrived with upon comparing the two.

    1. Mas maganda interior ng Starex. The seats from the Grandia GL is a bit off for me.
    2. Malaki ang Grandia. Can seat up to 11 people with still room sa likod.
    3. Engine location favored Starex.
    4. Medyo natataasan ako papasok sa driver side ng Grandia.
    5. The price for Starex is much more wallet friendly.

    Di na namin kinonsider and Super Grandia because of the price at insurance cost.

    Hindi namin siya everyday car. Malamang mga once a week lang siya lalabas ng garahe. We just need a big vehicle pag lalabas kami. Wala rin kaming driver so ako din mag drive neto.

    Pero gusto ko muna marinig mga point of view from onwers/experts of these two vans. TIA!

    yung 3 rows ba or 2 rows lang? sa price ng GL grandia, katapat na nya yung CRDi ng starex e. IMO, mas maganda siguro yun.

    for me big plus ang engine sa harap. mas bagay pa own driven ang starex :D

    actually sir, parang ikaw na sumagot ng mga tanong mo e

    Yung balak namin is yung 12s. For the price, medyo mas mahal yung CRDI ng Starex compare to the Grandia GL. Cieling ko na yung price ng Grandia.

    I like the Grandia kasi malaki but I like the Starex because of its interior pero oks ba yung TCi na engine? Is it the same engine of as the previous Gen?

    Di nga ako makatulog kasi iniisip ko yung dalawa e. Hahaha.

    For personal use and if you're not going to max out the seating capacity most of the time, i'd go with the Starex. Power of this and the Grandia on paper is just about the same. I doubt you can test drive a Grandia GL but at least for the Starex, do a test drive.

    We have a Grandia GL and one complaint a lot give is that it's not too comfortable for long trips.

    GS,- dina-drive ko iyan once a week sa office... At tuwing weekends with the family..... Comfortable sa biyahe...

    TCi engine,- I've been using Hyundai's for the past 8 years (5 years sa Gen3 Starex- up to about 48TKm and then ibinenta ko na; then, 3 years sa GS - about 17.5TKm now),- so far, walang problema...

    Iyong Grandia,- D4D(CRDi) iyon di ba?

    Ayon sa brochure 2KD-FTV D-4D yung makina niya.

    OT: CVT, kita ko nga kayo sa team Hyundai Ph nung nag babasa basa ako tungkol sa starex.

    Dahil ba sa ride or dahil sa upuan niya?

    Sa upuan ng Grandia GL talaga ako na off e. Sobrang layo dun sa Super Grandia at sa Starex. Tinatanong nga ako ni misis kung pwede ba daw kami bumili ng Super Grandia set of seats. Hahaha.

    GS got the edge. mas ok ang ride ng GS compared to Hi-ace. Power is adequate.

    TCi is quite easy to maintain rather than the hi-tech CRDi.

    GS has the advantage over Hi--ace when it comes to PMS cost.

    Looks is subjective.

    Yup, Salamat sa lahat ng nag post sa thread.

    Reserved a Grand Stares CVX sa Pitstop this morning. Sabi nila mga mid Nov darating yung unit. The deciding factor for me was really the interior (and seeing my wife and kids very happy while inside the unit). Kung available lang yung unit nila dun, baka mag isa na lang ako sa kotse ko pag uwi namin. Buti na lang for releasing na daw yun.

    Great pick, TS. VGT engine pa. You won't regret it.

    Rode in a total of four Grand Starexes and all of them never failed to amaze me how comfortable they are compared to the Grandia. Kahit yung Gen. 3 starex ng relative ko ayos na ayos!
