Help! family car, choose between revp. adventure, or avanza

[wb_23]

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.

sa 3 po pinaka matipid ang avanza

makina ng adventure subok na tsaka halos pareho lang sila ng avanza sa cabin space

revo matakaw sa gas!

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

I don't think it was meant to compete with the Jazz/City. Toyota already had the Vios for that. The Avanza was probably meant to cover the gap in their vehicle line up that used to be covered by the Tamaraw FX, a relatively cheap utility vehicle that can carry lots of people and easy to use for taxi and city shuttle purposes. But since that vehicle has evolved into the Innova, it's not anymore suited for that role.

Looking inside the Avanza, you'll see that the interior is nowhere near the fit and finish of other passenger cars like the Vios. Very spartan. But a good high ceiling, lots of seating space (for such a small vehicle) and big doors, it was a good condidate for taxi purposes.

I think I remember that Toyota even had demo units fitted with Auto-LPG kits to show potential taxi fleet buyers what can be done with it.

Anyway, back to topic...

I would actually vote for the Avanza if I was limited to the choices given by the TS.

It is more modern, newer, parts are easy because of it's wide popularity. It's flexible in use. It might not be the fastest vehicle on the road but it will get you to your destination without much drama. Just avoid sudden maneuvers with it at high speed.
