    That's the problem with most drivers. They think the engine noise is a bad omen and tend to back off the throttle or upshift prematurely. It's not. I've done Baguio numerous times in an MB100. I don't care about the engine racket, I just read the tach.

    It's the same technique used by bus drivers since they cannot hear the sound of the rear mounted engines. They just base shift points on the tach.
    Onga, meron parang buzzer na kapag tumutunog, dun lang sila nagsi-shift ng gears.

    Meron kami ditong '04 na Urvan Escapade. Nasakyan ko na rin yung MB100 and yung Hiace Commuter 2.4DSL tsaka dati meron rin kami Hiace Commuter 2.5 D-4D.

    Yung Urvan ok naman, reliable siya hindi sirain. Pero problema mahina yung makina. Pagabot ng mga 115 km/h tsaka nung paakyat kami ng Baguio pati Tagaytay nagooverheat. Pero pinalitan na namin yung cooling system niya kaya kahit umabot ng 130 km/h tsaka paakyat ng Baguio with A/C on ok lang walang problema. Isa pang problema yung engine noise niya, maingay pero mas maingay parin yung MB100. Yung '04 wala pa yung plastic "taillight extension" which is added nung '06. Mas ok kung wala yun, ngayon tinangal na yata yun eh Comfortable siya like the MB100, hindi masikip yung upuan. Sa Commuter (old and new) sobrang sikip yung mga upuan.

    Yung 2.5 D-4D na Commuter maganda performance. Malakas ang hatak wlang sinabi yung Urvan tsaka MB100. Best of all, commonrail diesel engine niya so tahimik siya, mas powerful, mas fuel efficient, mas maganda . Yung audio system niya (Fujitsu Ten OEM) may CD player na pero 2-speakers lang. At least hindi lata gaya ng Urvan (Clarion sa '04 model w/o CD, ewan ko lang sa '06+). Problema lang talaga nito, napakasikip ng legroom sa rear seats. Reliable rin siya tsaka maganda resale value niya.

    So, Hiace or MB100 -- Hiace ako. MB100 or Urvan -- Urvan ako. Hiace or Urvan -- mas comfortable yung Urvan pag passenger ka, pero mas masarap idrive yung Hiace -- so, dalawa pwede.
