Innova E vs Innova J Manual

[renzo_d10]

These are things that the J variant can never have, even with the help from the after market:

1.) ABS
2.) Driver side airbag
3.) Four spoke steering wheels: (bec. of the airbag)
4.) Color: flaxen - choose this color makes your Innova look more upscale since it is available for E and G variant only.
5.) Factory power windows - those after market ones seem substandard.

Overall, if the budget allows, E variant is worth purchasing.

number001 is right. E variant is worth purchasing.

i think you can. except that, with the added cost, you'd probably be better off getting the E. to me, the most useful add-ons would be the power locks and the power windows. and don't forget the vinyl seats versus cloth-covered seats.

Thank you guys for the inputs. I might get the E probably. The price difference for the down is 20 thou and 2Thou monthly amortization for 5 years.

I tried driving the J vvt-i for 300 kms yesterday and I found the clutch quite hard for my "arthritic knee"..huhu. I'm looking at the E auto tranny with the higher price na naman.

[crossedge]

Medyo OT: How about between E and G? Which one would you choose? 100k+ din ata difference.

[basti08]

hindi po power side mirror ang "E" kahit remote inside the cabin wala.

VS "G"

"G" has side door moulding, dual airbags, glass print antenna, rear defogger, wood accents, fog lights,auto climate control na sya and optitron among obvious features gained.

[renzo_d10]

If you have the moolah. Get the G. Bronze Metallic in color

Same thoughts here, if I were to buy an Innova, I'd get the J D4D model then pakabit na lang ng power windows, meron nagbebenta ng power windows for Innova J, nakalimutan ko na pangalan nun pero minsan may maliit na ad yun sa Manila Bulletin, I think nagbebenta rin yun ng mga bullbars and the like.

You can get aftermarket power windows but it looks "after market". The quality of the switches and the appearance of the door looks cheap compared to the OEM. For me halatang low end talaga.
AFAIK, you won't have controls for all the windows din * the driver door.

Airbags and ABS aren't stuff you can just add on.

Are there pics of "after market" power windows here? pa-share naman..Thanks!

BTW, as ko na din kung meron din bang after market for power side mirrors? San meron or san maganda at sinong shop ang magaling mag-install? Tia.

I was told by a dealer that Innova Es that came out earlier (2005) did not have airbags. Totoo ba ito?

This is true. For E variant, from 2005 to 2007, no airbags. For J variant, it gained airbag after the facelift late 2008.

True. Nung 2007, yun facelifted Innova E nag labas ng airbags. Price at P913K for the E Gas.

[GTi]

Innova E D4D na, or even better, G D4D. J D4D variant is bare, good for the company fleet but not for family use.

Pwede rin family use. May Innova J kami, gas nga lang. hehe We bought that vehicle in 2006. Bili namin dun P763K. Ngayon the J variant Gas price at P803K. Yun Diesel nasa P850+ ata, not sure. Lakas humatak yun J gas kahit sa overtake di ka mabibitin. Lakas sa gas sa city driving. (6 kph/l). May Innova ka? gas ba or diesel sir GTi? Pawis windows at walang power side mirrors nga lang pero ang inmportante may magagamit kmi.

[scharnhorst]

or... yung E variant na VVT-i... para wala kang eventual problema sa fuel pump

(just watch out for your gas tank)
