Our family is planning to buy a vehicle that can carry people, climb steep-ish roads and promise good fc. We ended up with these choices. What do you think is the right vehicle to buy? Please don't recommend other vehicles. Thanks!

Innova. Safer car (in terms of features), updated chassis, light steering. In short, value for money.
Not as 'rugged' as either the isuzu nor the mitsubishi but there's a reason you see these everywhere.
Also read that the toyota D4D 'issues' have generally been resolved with the newer cars na.
Note: I do not/have not owned any of the mentioned cars.

can not say which one you will want but you have to consider the comfort of the ride especially the engine vibration. Adventure & Sportivo are less in engine power & torque (may consume less diesel) & for sure will give you back massage harder than the innova (sir soft or hard massage po ba).
Innova G -> Comfortable, faster, safe.
Sportivo -> Workhorse, delivers you to point a to point b
Adventure -> Point a to Point b deliverer
If you want a faster crosswind. Get the XT / XTi variants. Avoid the XUV and Sportivo ... their body is just way way heavy.
AND ... DONT EVER GET THE AUTOMATIC CROSSWINDS.![]()
Go for the Innova G, 2.5 Diesel. Opitron gauge, push-button AC controls, fuel efficient. However it would be best to test drive all vehicles.

OR... you can get an AUTOMATIC... IF and only IF you'll never, ever overtake on our roads (yep you'll wish).Mababangga ka na di mo pa rin naoovertake-an yung nasa harap mo.
No pun intended, just telling the truth. I used to own an A/T XTO at talagang hapong-hapo para lang maka-overtake. Traded it in for an M/T Sportivo. Kahit sagad na tapak mo sa gas wala pa rin. They say they equipped the more recent models with a baby turbo pero I don't see so much of an improvement.
If you'll take noise into consideration though, better choice ang Innova given na tahimik kasi and similar lang halos ang fuel consumption (better pa nga sa city driving at times sa Sportivo). Looks - well subjective na yun so I won't give my thoughts on that.
Sa Adventure no hands-on experience so I can't really compare the other two. Just my .02
innova - malawak ang loob mag eenjoy ang mga kids mo malamig pa aircon....
either MT/AT parehas may ibubuga.. mas may torque pa ang AT over MT.. pero iba pa din ang MT down shift wrroomm!!.. just my 2 cents
