Hyundai Grand Starex vs. Toyota Super Grandia

[jcal68]

I sometimes borrow the company's Starex.

If you are the one driving on long trips, don't choose the Starex. . .lahat ng pasahero mo makakatulog maski yung katabi ko.

Hiace Commuter and Super Grandia do not have the same suspensions.

How about the GL Grandia? From what I heared same suspension eto sa Commuter

I guess not. I believe you were referring to the bridge beside Dinalupihan exit. There was a time that the approach to the bridge sunk causing this jump.

I think we should add Commuter and GL Grandia in the title para hindi maguluhan ang mga babasa kasi in the title it specified Super Grandia.

There is no way you can compare a Grand Starex especially the VGT variant to a Commuter. Sobrang ibang iba yan. Kahit ako, never kong nagustuhan ang ride ng Commuter. Masikip, matigas ang ride, matagtag. Bugbog ang katawan si trip. Super bugbog lalo pag sa likod ka nakaupo. Torture. Sobrang worlds apart yan sa Grand Starex kaya hindi mo pwedeng icompare yang dalawang yan. For me pang pasada talaga. I wouldn't use it also for family use if I have one.

For the GL Grandia, it's more, way more spacious than the Commuter. Ride is more forgiving also. Medyo matigas lang ng konti. I don't know maybe due to the seats or what, but I felt that there is still a difference as compared to a Super Grandia. Medyo pwede mo na siyang icompare sa Grand Starex lalo kung seating capacity and has a more forgiving ride ang hanap mo.

Now the Super Grandia is on a different level especially if you are talking about the leather variant. Ibang iba ang feeling overall for me. It is more luxurious inside and the ride is way better than its 2 brethrens. Yan sa tingin ko ang pwedeng mag match sa Grand Starex VGT lalo kung hindi mo naman kailangan ng sobrang lakas na engine. Malaki ang space sa loob, maganda ang seating configuration, it has nice amenities, well balanced ang look ng exterior if it's in stock form. All of that plus providing an ample amount of engine power and cheaper maintenance.

The ride in an SG leather based on my 8th month of ownership, never akong nahirapan, nabugbog ang feeling. Pagdating sa destination ay parang wala lang. Well siyempre may konting pagod pero hindi ung feeling nung nakasakay kami sa Commuter. Maybe malaking factor din ang driving ng driver kasi hindi barubal mag maneho ang driver ko. Ang sarap nga ng tulog namin palagi. Sa last row, although bihira naman ang sumasakay doon, I've tried it too. Matigas siya and medyo bouncy. Pero yan ang trade off ng SG. They have configured it in a way para mas masurvive niya ng mas matagal ang road conditions ng Philippines as compared sa iba. Mas tumatagal ang shocks, bushings, etc.
