Innova Vs. Adventure

[p_borj]

Apparently, sir fireblade's 2008 innova suffered the D4D choking problem. So there's really no telling who might get affected.

hehe. matibay talaga old school diesels. ranger namin pushing on 233k+ km! wala pa ring overhauls

basta TLC

nice ride!

by the way, kudos to sir fireblade doon sa ginawa niyang move para mai-address sa TMP ang D4D problem kahit wala na siyang Toyota D4D ngayon. A concerned tsikoteer talaga.

It's just that, siguro itirik ka nalang ng almost brand new car mo eh talagang nakakaasar samantalang makikita mo yung taxi na bulok ayun umaandar pa, tapos titingnan ka pa nung driver with matching iling sabay sibat.

Go for adventure - Very affordable you have the legendary 4D56.

Kung now ka bibili mag advie ka na lang pag ibebenta mo na advie mo after 5yrs or more tsak yung D4D or ung sinsabi nila sa innova na mas advance at top notch eh tsak na improve at na enhance na nila.

4D56 Eto past engine ng Pajero 3rd gen and current engine din ng Montero
transmission lang nag iba at naka turbo charged montero. Pero basically naka 4D56 padin plane nga lang sa adventure. Naka upgrade na rin to for economical purposes Naka Euro 2 Compliant na naman ngaun at direct injected na ndi na jet pump like sa pajero nung gnmit to.

Go For advie ok ang price at resale value bsta TLC haha
Maintenance is major plus dto ndi choosy kotse mo hahaha!!
Kung matagalan hanap mo sure na talaga ang Adventure

i went thru the same process before. but for the sake of praticality, pinili ko advie. kaya lang as they say matagtag ito and yes maganda ang innova kaya lang ang layo ng price difference nila sa base price ng advie. sa GLX eh halos basic na innova lang ang kapantay nya.
will depend padin of course sa intentions ng buyer, ako kasi i need a unit to carry yung new born ko, mga gamit nya like crib etc etc, but with a very limited budget. I just need a reliable na sasakyan pag sakay ko yung newborn ko syempre. pero kung maluwang ang budget siguro innova din ang kinuha ko. kung di naman kailangan hakutin ang gamit ng bata, may kotse naman akong ginagamit kaya yung ang basehan ng desisyon ko. both i think are ok depende nga sa pangangailangan and resource.

For me simple lang yan, kung pang-kargahan Adventure, pero kung family car Innova.

Maki-butt in lang po. The Innova i've ridden in is a gas variant so i can't give first hand comment on its diesel variant, but i can say na comfortable ride siya and roomier than my Advie.

Now...why i love my Advie. Darn reliable; decent torque and speed (di naman ako speed demon. He he...but 120 kph sisiw lang); decent fuel economy (13.2 km/l mixed city and highway); slim enough body to wiggle through tight Philippine roads (as in our locality); ready availability of parts and repairmen just in case (kahit lasing na mekaniko kaya sigurong ayusin si Advie, pag Innova magluko baka kelangan pa computer diagnostics ng taga-casa). And then, wala gaanong vital electrical component and/or ECU ang Advie. No need to fear an Ondoy-class rain, or even just random ECU malfunction. Ika nga, the simpler, the better. Did I mention bang-for-the buck cosidering the features and the price range?

But what i love most about my car is that i can (and was able to) dismantle its nooks and crannies (doors, dashboard, bumpers, rear seats, etc) because the design is so simple. I can truly say I own it, di yung parang taga-casa lang ang may kakayahan over your car. Eventually ako na rin siguro mang-che-change-oil kay Torque, yung tipong overnight siya patutuluin.

In City use = Innova
In Province use = Adventure

[drich_enriquez]

Kung diesel kukunin mo mag adventure ka na lang. It may be old specs yun engine pero reliable.

[torque&pepper]

In City use = Innova
In Province use = Adventure

Sarap ng wifi, kahit nasa outing pwede makisabat sa tsikot! He he..BTT, medyo sablay ang conclusion na ito sir kasi dito nga sa province you can stretch your car at 140 to 170 kph sustained speeds without much fear of speed traps or pedestrians. Pag diyan sa Manila pagpasok ng Mindanao Ave., ang speed naglalaro na sa 40 to 60 kph dahil sa traffic. Kahit ata kabayo pwedeng makipagsabayan. Pag sa Manila with its notorious traffic jams, your ferrari is as fast as the other guy's owner type jeep (no offense meant to owners of such vehicle types, for emphasis lang). In sum, it all boils down to whether your car can take a beating day in and day out. Though di naman pwedeng sabihing pamporma ang innova at utilitarian ang adventure kasi pareho naman silang people carrier/hauler.

Good old reliable adventure or the modern (but possibly problematic engine) Innova.

Kahit na nakakakaba ang D4D, i will go for the Innova amonthg the 2.

innova din sakin mas may class ang dating..
+ hindi mo alam kung kelan mo kailangan ang speed + power
kahit kargahan mo ng 8 ung innova still maiiwan mo padin ung adventure at crosswind
may d4d kami 40k++ di pa kami tinitirik mag2years na
