Yes pareho nga sila ng engine.

A late-model Pregio will do you good. We had a 1998 one. Mechanicals were very good, except for a too-small radiator that can be upgraded to a bigger one anyway.

The latter-model Pregios should be better built than their earlier brethren. Only the flimsy interior bits and problematic A/C are negatives on the car. The engine and automatic gearbox however never broke down on us.

if I were to choose from those three I'd pick the L3...have previously owned a versa van gas and Fb diesel before...aside from aircon problems no major headache from my ride...the versa gas stayed with me for 6 years while the Fb diesel for 9 years.

+1.

My cousin uses a Pregio for van rentals. 4-5 years na, trips almost every day... the only things he's had to spend extra on were a few suspension bushings. That's it. Aircon is great, transmission is great, handling good (for a van) shocks are still all original.

He loves it to death. Much better than his previous L300, which he finally sold because of the rear fender rust that almost killed him (let exhaust into the cabin, causing him to nearly choke on the fumes). I remember that L300 dearly... wala pa yatang 5 years na bumigay yung first gear... the AC was horrible, and it handled like a coffin on wheels (almost like a Crosswind, actually).

Maybe the much earlier Pregios (the gray market ones brought in surplus from Korea) were crap, but the last ones sold locally were very, very VERY good.

If we're talking 2000 and up, the last of the Pregios had a sweet ride and a great driving position. And durability is about as good as any van out there.

The L300? I'd rather ride the jeep, thank you.

Kung yan 3 lang ang pagpipilian, WALA akong pipiliin sa mga yan, I heard too many horror stories about the H100/Grace and the Pregio. Yang L300 naman meron kami dati both gas and diesel at hari yan ng sablay. Panay overheat, hindi malamig ang A/C, grabe ang init coming from the engine if you're on the front seats.

If I were to buy a second hand van, dagdag na lang ako ng konti tapos yung Hiace o Urvan na lang ang bibilhin ko.

para saken kung patibayan L300 next option ko kia pregio ...

siguro nasa mentained din yan mga bro kung marunong kayo mag mentained hindi naman siguro magloloko ang sasakyan??

[[archie]]

with the choices... L300 ako... classic! up to now meron pa din brand new eh.

[tidus1203]

Ang pangit naman ng choices its like picking cat crap, dog crap, or bird crap. I guess bird crap na lang and that is the L300. Those Korean vans are the days when Koreans where termed as low quality I wouldn't even touch those. I don't know, but everytime I see a Pregio or Grace its always wrecked or kinakalawang na and it seems like its just gasping to get into its destination...
