    hey guys, i need your opinions and suggestions, pros and cons, about sa cars na pinag pipilian ko

    i'm looking for a 2nd hand car between 2003-2005 model(revo/adventure) both gasoline 2.0, avanza ('06 -'07) that would fit my budget 380k-450k.

    so far this is what i know.

    avanza - cons matagtag daw, only fit 7 persons and ung third row seat masikip.

    adventure - matagtag dn daw, is it true?, they say drives like a car

    revo - heavy daw ung body, malakas sa gas, madali maka hanap ng parts.

    another question po, malakas b ung new engine ng avanza 1.3 vvti? i mean what if 7 persons kayo, tapus puno pa ng luggage hehe

    thanks in advance.

    usually my wife and i, 3 kids, 2 yaya. so 7, pag may occasions lang kasama other family members. un lng nde na kasya mag add passenger pag avanza.

    but im leaning toward to choosing the avanza, kasi new model, new engine, i just hope kaya ng makina kahit puno, when traveling long distance, though bihira lng usually pag summertime lang.

    revo gets my vote. yung sport runner, automatic, kulay white. ganda.

    spacious, sturdy, gobs of torque, ladder frame chasiss (you can take it off road if you like. my uncle does, and his SR has yet to break). yung lakas sa gas, well, that can be remediated, basta malinis lagi air filters nya at naka tono yung makina, matipid pa rin for the sheer number of people and luggage you can haul.

    adventure gas, malakas din sa gas. makitid yung cabin at nakayuko yung mga nasa 3rd row. diesel? madaling masira ang 4d56 (nagka pajero ako, same engine but turbo. madaling mag blow by). 4m40 engine sana kaso it was never offered sa adventures.

    avanza... maliit. maliit lahat, pati engine. pati wheels/tyres. i have no idea why toyota markets this as a people carrier. maybe it started life as a small subcompact to compete against the jazz, but somewhere along the way it morphed into a people carrier.

    my vote goes to:
    a: toyota revo diesel sana para mas matipid talaga
    b: mitsu adventure (diesel parin)
    c: avanza (pero parang under power going up to Baguio)
    d: Nissan Grand Livina,good A/C powerful engine,6 speed trammy sulit sa tipid if pang long trip kahit gas pa sya,cons medyo mahal kc bago pa jejeje

    Sa tingin ko makitid ang avanza, revo diesel with a 2L engine, bulletproof. anu ba ang maintenance ng diesel engine...oil/oil filter, air cleaner, fuel filter basically the same as an ordinary gas engine...oh... calibration ng injection pump and nozzles but you can log 100k kms before you do this. also there is the heater plugs, haven't change any plugs on my 14 yr old diesel engine.

    I dont wanna be biased since I am an Avanza J owner.
    No problem for me going to Baguio with full of passengers and luggages. It will reach your destination but of course there are some really steep parts where you would like to turn off your aircon to help the engine. Plus there are many avanza taxi in Baguio.
    But if you have the buck you could also get a crosswind which I was also an owner. Mas matipid since mas mura ang diesel.
