Innova owners. Need HELP!!!

**papalord** · November 14th, 2007 04:31 PM

I'm planning to get an Innova this December, but until now I still don't know what variant I should get. Medyo di pa kasi ako familiar sa mga toyota cars since galing ako sa nissan so hesitant pa ko kung Diesel ba or Gas kunin ko. Pag gas sabi nila mas matulin, silent engine, walang sakit sa ulo kasi di hinuhuli for smoke belching and mas mura maintenance kaso baka sabi din lakas ata sa Gas innova 2.0 Gas and I prefer A/T. Pag diesel naman mas malakas daw hatak, matulin din mas Fuel Efficient the fact na 2.5 it can still run 10-13 km/li acc. to Toyota kaso mahal naman daw maintenance. Napansin ko din kasi na parang mas offered yung Gas Variant sa Toyota (50T discount compared to other variants) kaya naisip ko baka kasi hindi mabili siguro nga kasi malakas sa Gas IMO ???. First time ko rin hahawak ng Diesel so alam ko medyo maninibago ko. Need to know lang exactly what the differences are of these Variants - ok din ba diesel ng Toyota? pero big factor din kasi sakin Fuel Efficiency, sabi sa toyota Gas can run 8-9 km/li lang and Diesel daw 10-13 km/li

Really need help pls.!!! I'll appreciate your replies..thanks

Options: Innova E or G and Gas or Diesel - I prefer A/T po. Pang Family use

Factors that I consider:
1. Fuel Consumption
2. Torque
3. Features/Accessories
4. the likes - kayo na po bahala

Get the diesel version. The gasoline version is quieter, yes, but the diesel engine is a much, much better choice.

Variant? It's up to you. ;) I'd get the cheapest one with power windows and leave it at that.

i have the J variant, Gas...IMO manageable naman FC nya... so far, i'm averaging 8-9km/l city driving while 11-12km/l highway naman with moderate traffic... 2,800km pa lang odo reading ko... ang alam ko magi improve pa FC nya... kung gusto mo environment friendly, tahimik makina... get the Gas variant... kung torque and mas fuel efficient hanap mo... then Diesel...

the E variant is already packed with power locks, power windows, driver side airbag.

sir,palagay ko mas mainam talaga ang diesel, ang ride ko ay innova j diesel m/t. after one week na mailabas ko sa toyota ay ibinyahe ko sa isabela, ( pang 8 na bayan ng isabela ) galing ako sa novaliches,quezon city naligaw ako sa bandang bulacan, hindi ko natunton yong highway napunta ako sa bayan-bayan so,expected mo mabagal dahil sa daming trycicle ganoon din sa cabanatuan city kaya sa halip na mapabilis ang biyahe ko ay lalong nagtagal pero nagconsume lang ako ng 27.5 liters so lumalabas na 13.85km/lt. nagtanong din ako sa mga kaibigan ko at sabi nila matipid nga daw talaga. pero since na ikaw ang gagamit ay nasa iyo rin ang huling desisyon.

papalord,

Same here. From Nissan ako to Toyota. I was impressed lalo na sa A/C.

Anyway, I also had a hard time deciding if Gas or Diesel ang kunin ko but eventually I opted to take the Gas version. Mine is J. I'm averaging 7.65 Km/L with mostly heavy traffic. I experienced 10-11 Km/L with very minimal traffic mostly city driving. Never tried long ditances yet.

I was hesitant to get the Diesel version dahil sa nakita kong diesel ng Toyota before lalo na sa mga FX na parang mga dyip sa itim ng usok lalo na yung oil pan na laging basa ng langis. Sa ngayon, impressed ako sa D4D (diesel) engines ng Toyota dahil halos walang smoke at maganda ang performance. Kung FC, iba talaga ang diesel. Malayo sa Gas. Kung sa tahimik naman, malayo ang Gas. Sa maintenance, depende sa gumagamit. Kahit gas yan pero kung hindi ka maingat, masakit din sa ulo.

It's your choice pa din sir. Good Luck!

i just checked out the innova as one of my friends sister is also in the market for this vehicle.

For the thread starter, if your used to gas and FC is not that big as a factor of purchasing your vehicle, stick with gas.

but if you want to try out diesel for the first time, you wont go wrong with innova. (i think they fixed their d4d problem).

as per maintenace, they are almost the same in cost.

the gas variant is given more discount because the sales is not as strong as the diesel variant.

Salamat ng marami sa replies mga PAPS!!!

According to other threads may problem daw D4D ng Innova dati but naayos na daw, ok ba talaga Diesel version ng Innova sa ngaun since nagawa na yung problem dati. Mas responsive daw diesel and torquish compared to Gas, is it true?. And since A/T kunin ko, ok din ba matic sa diesel?or mas maganda sa GAS in terms of FC, torque and HP or mas ok kung manual na lang. lastly po sa E and G variant, worth it ba yung 100T diff. ng dalawa? and sa Aircon po pala, since galing ako sa nissan(known sa cold aircon)ok din ba aircon ng innova?sensya na sa common questions, gsto ko kasi wala na ko pagsisihan pag nakuha ko na unit.
salamat po ulet!!!

i have an innova gas. i picked it simply because i am the one maintaining it and i have limited knowledge with diesel engines aside from the fact na napapa-iling ako pag nakakita ako ng umang fx. ;-)
so far satisfied ako sa performance, walang hassle at sakit ng ulo. my ride is at 56K na sa odo.
aircon-wise. di ko nga ma-set kahit sa kalahati yung thermostat e. ususally yung dial e naka-point sa 10am lang. giniginaw na ako pag lagpas 12 yung dial.
E or G: i do like customizing my ride. imho, take the E variant (for the power windows and the rear wipers) then keep the 100K difference for beefing up your accessories. in the end mas, pogi yung E kesa sa G at the same price.

Personally, kung ako bibili kukunin ko yung E na diesel na matic, I think yung problema ng Toyota sa D4D solved na yata. I think this is the best value in the Innova line. I will not shell out the extra money for a G model because you basically get the same amenities with the E model, I think the main difference is that you get more chrome trim outside and better upholstery and wood panel inside, which in all honesty I can live without.

My Dad just got his 2.0 Gas G A/T Innova last week. He was initially supposed to get a 2.5 Diesel E A/T, but when we visited the showroom to have a look at possible colors, he mas dismayed that the E was closer to the J in spec. Although he liked the dark, low maintenance interior of the E, his main disappointment was non-power side mirrors that had to be adjusted from outside the cabin (no lever inside). We did the computation and it turned out he had to add about P36K for a G (although Gas) A/T Innova, which had almost all the features of the top of the line V, so he ended up getting the G.

I'd have to agree with ronw123w124 though, if you're planning to mod your Innova, get the E and use the money saved for accessories. In my Dad's case, well, he wasn't planning to do much modding, and he was really turned off by the side mirror, so he decided to forego the diesel.
