For what purpose will you be getting a H100 or L300?

**papashe16** · March 26th, 2010 08:53 PM

will be using it multi purpose
pang people hauler at business na rin, going to different parts of cavite and installing satellite TV.

I have L300FB Deluxe '96 already; planning to replace already.

Exceed is somehow longer and wheelbase concerns me if it was deisgned for the additional body length.

Is the gear shifter on the L300 still mounted on the steering column? If it is, I'd get the H100.

It is part of the L300's design to have the steering column mounted manual shifter.

okay din porma ng H-100 lalo sa driver side pero parang masyado na malaki for the intended purpose,maganda talaga siya pang school service.

as for the L300 FB eh aesthetics lang nabago, sa passenger side ganun pa rin.

another thing that concerns me is the fuel consumption

almos tsame lang ba or mas malaks kunsomo ng H100 due to bigger alamzora load

H100 syempre between the two. Nakakangawit magshift ng column mounted shifter. I have ridden the H100 already since our church has one in its shuttle fleet. I like the cab interior a lot, hindi mapapahiya kung nilagay mo sa Starex. Engine is not very strong, but if compared with the L300, OK na yan since it has a few more horses and a lot more torque. And then again, it has a tachometer... Minor detail but one that I I look at a lot, especially with manuals.

An important consideration when comparing these kinds of vehicles is durability,ease of maintenance and availability of spare parts. These are workhorses, they need to be on the road most of the time earning for the owner and when it breaks down it should easily be repaired anywhere by any talyer as quickly as possible. L300 wins, its been in our roads for decades, spare parts are abundant, almost being given away. Any person who can hold a wrench can fix it. It has proven itself in the field of battle.

If there's anything out there that has all the traits I have mentioned but better than the L3, it would be the Isuzu IPV, because of its timing gear engine.

Hindi problem yung column mounted shifter. Nakakamiss nga eh.

Mas matibay pa rin pang-ilalim at makina ng L300 kaya yan pa rin pipiliin ko for its price range.

I've briefly driven an L300 once. The column mounted shifter is OK, but it seems a bit hard to use, especially if driving for a long time in heavy traffic. As for it's reliability... Not very sure about that. The L300's in my school before waere always overheating in long trips. Aircon was also breaking down often. And the chassis was always making creaking sounds. To think that those L300's were only from 2002 and 2003.
