    Yes. Buy the car you really want so as not to second-guess yourself esp. when you already bought one and still considering the other option.

    This would be okay if your daughter is around 10y.o. or above. Otherwise, the airbag may do more harm than good. That's why in the US they let children sit at the back.

    The much nicer interior of the G is a big plus for me. Looks and feels classier. Most of the time your inside the car so the inside should also look good.

    yan ba E ay may power windows na. a friend bought an innova only to find out pawis windows. major fail considering he has a growing family. hindi daw nya alam

    but if it is then go for E, no sense spending more for an AUV. it's still an AUV

    i prefer a nicer interior too than a ricey exterior, hehehe..and totoo yang sabi ni glntvr.. kaya mga kids ko sa rear seats nakaupo.. pwede naman sa harap ung daughter mo kung may child seat yan--which is an additional 3-5 thousand.

    anyways, if you can afford it, go for the G.. napakalaking convenience ang auto climate control.. just set it to "auto" 22-24 deg., set the a/c to recirculation, then bahala na ang computer mag-timpla, no more fiddling while driving.. pati ung steering wheel audio control is a plus, lalo na kung highway driving--where-in pag mag-aadjust ka ng volume kung malakas na ang road noise..

    ung on-board fuel-efficiency monitor, helps ou sa consumo mo... pwede mong gawing game where in dapat you'll see better numbers than you are having now.

    teka gas ba o diesel? for me, i'll get the gas model, much cheaper to maintain than the d4d.. pero d4d mura fuel...so factor that in..

    but.. if you you could live without those conveniences/ cannot afford to pay the extra premium, just get the E.

    Gas model. Natatakot ako sa D4D dahil sa feedbacks dito e.

    My kid is allowed to ride in front only during short distances. Even with car seat di ata advisable in front e. If I am the one driving, sa middle seat lang siya. Rear seats are a big no-no sakin.

    Closed the G variant this afternoon. Baka makuha by Saturday. Lumampas sa budget. Halos kapresyo na nung tucson na pinagisipan ko bilin. Sabi nila, innova raw practical choice e.

    If you have 3 kids or less, mas ok yung Tucson sa Innova.

    Anyway nakabili ka na and the Innova is a good family car. Best family car at that price range actually, especially if it's a big family :D

    I was about to bought the E variant since it's just an AUV hindi naman pang porma. But my wife will be the the one to used it. Suddenly napansin ko hindi pala power side mirror. oops . Nag G na ako hussle pag hindi power side mirror lalo na pag mag papark ka.

    Every now and then mo ba ginagalaw ang side mirror pagnagpapark?

    I think he or his wife adjusts it when they park based on his post. I also do the same thing, sometimes i park the car very close to the gutter so I adjust the mirror downward.

    to the thread starter, good choice with the G and the getting the gas variant. Gives you peace of mind.

    yes i do adjust the side mirror when parking. sayang naman mags kung tatama sa gutter. Lalo na sa binondo kelangan close to the gutter ang parking para iwas sabit naman sa mga passing pedicab, masyadong maliit na clearance sa dami ng sasakyan.

    Hahaha same thing here, I go to Binondo everyday. In Binondo, you really have to make sure you're parked close to the gutter because the roads are very narrow. And you wouldn't want your mags getting scratched because of that.

Innova G worth the 100k diff?
