Help: Crosswind XUV vs Innova vs Kia Carens vs Adventure

[Gerbo]

Ika nga, every vehicle has its merits. Meron din silang liabilities.

But judge the car for what is its intended purpose. And how it measures to your criteria vis-a vis priorities.

ok nmn tlaga ang hilander crosswind eh', 4ja1 engine of the 1stgen hilander pa yung ginamit until now... di nmn importante kung mabilis tumakbo ung sasakyan eh' importante reliable, durable at magtatagal sya ng ilang decade. kung ako lang papiliin mag crosswind nlng ako,. subok na. kahit ilusong mo pa sa baha at gamitin mo pa sa pinaka.harsh na condition cguradong di ka mapapahiya sa isuzu hilander crosswind

test drive mo lahat ng choices mo then from there pwede kang mamili kung ano talaga ang gusto mo at anong purpose mo..

Ako id go for crosswind..yup matagtag sya maingay pag asa labas sya mabagal. mausok pag piniga mo ng piniga,
ito lagi ang dala ko pag byahe with my family, reason ko lalo pag malayo..madali syang irepair kung nasiraan ka sa mga choices mo naka ecu na sila CMIIW once na nagkaproblema kelangan mo ng kasa o mga specialized talyer to do it, hirap pag kasama mo family mo at medyo dumidilim na, int the long run cheaper i maitain at tipid sa gas dun lang ito nakakabawi..at pangharabas nga hehe, kaya dko pa binibitawan yung 2005 crosswind namin..medyo macho ring tignan hehehe..

kung sa tatag lang ng makina hindi na sila nag kakalayo matibay din ang 4d56 . matipid lang ang 4ja1 nga lang

tahimik lang talaga si advie at medyu mabilis ng kaunti comfort ride lang .
peru mas macho si crosswind at medyu low maintainance kasi si advie timming belt pa..

opinion ko lang
crosswind at adventure. hindi na nag kakahulihan yung dalawa na yan kahit anu piliin basta sa dalawa na yan panalo ka

-ako minsan umaasa pa na magkakaruon ulit ako ng adventure.. or crosswind naman para maiba din

my few cents:

i bought Crosswind for these priorities: ground clearance, long-term ownership (durability and basic/simple technology), 6 seater at least with enough room for luggage, low maintenance cost (about 2k for change oil), economical.

so far, passing score naman sya sa lahat nang criteria ko. in fact, i find the ride comfy (better than Fortuner, Montero, Avanze and HiAce). Ground clearance for me means PEACE of MIND kasi di ko kelangan mag worry pag lakas ulan sa usual route ko at di kelangan mag detour. Tested and proven ko na so many times!!! LOL

major complaints: speed-related. Hirap sa overtaking. in effect, napagastos sa FC dahil tendency pigain. (anyway, check Alcohol Injection thread: it worked for my needs esp at top-end speed for long drives! + usok problem, too)

engine/vibration: check other thread re: 2T mix. (claimed to have worked for some and but I have yet to try it)

I am sure Carens will give a car-like ride and faster drive. Usual maintenance should be higher being more advanced, I suppose (claimed by some with CRDI tech). I didn't go for Innova coz of reported DRD issues. Adventure too cramped.

If you plan to drive it for 20 years plus or 500,000km or more, get a crosswind.

Except for the Carens, meron at nagkaroon kami ng ganyang mga simpleng sasakyan sir.

The 2003 Adventure na-trade in na with only plus 140,000 kilometres to it, while the 2003 Crosswind with over 350,000 km and counting is assigned sa isang agent. Ang Innova naman 2011 model, where we will see the mettle of it through the test of time and usage. All are manual transmission.

Nice feedback you gave here, although we have yet to see the cited commonrail problems with the Innova under constant Euro 2 diesel fuel usage. Pero sir, gaya din ng mga CRDi na Dmax, na pinalitan na sila ng suction valve at EGR by late 2009 or early 2010, to cater for Euro 2 diesel fuel, baka ganoon na din ang naka-adopt sa mga Toyota diesels (LC200, Prado, Hilux, Innova, Hiace). The Innova uses timing belt din and as such it requires replacement, whilst all Isuzu diesels use the Isuzu-patented maintenance-free timing gear and chain.

Cheers!
