Innova E vs Innova J Manual

**willvill** · April 16th, 2009 08:48 AM

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.

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

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.

5.) Factory power windows - those after market ones seem substandard.

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.

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.

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

(just watch out for your gas tank)

Kung budget wise go for the J variant. May airbag na siya (driver's side). Kung may pera ka aat gusto mo ng power features, go for the E. Para sa complete features G or V variant na.
