    Since the 2016 Innova is now priced at Php 1,021,000 (2.8J)

    We can say that Toyota has left the AUV market (Innova was referred to as a MPV) and has left it to Mitsubishi and Isuzu...

    Which one do you think is a better buy?

    Adventure GLX (Php 870,000) or Crosswind XT MT (Php 883,000.00)

    Personally, my vote goes to the Adventure... You have an option for a 7 seater (only available on the top of the line Crosswind).

    I know, i know.......spelling....., marketing and suspension, coil and leaf springs, dont know of a vehicle that is marketed as an mpv that uses leaf springs, auv almost all coz of the weight. Suspension needs to be sturdy. Thats what i could think of right now

    The AUV: In the service of the Filipino | Auto Industriya

    Those old enough will remember that AUVs used to be exempted from Excise Tax...

    And in 2002... The CRV had 10 seat belts to get tax exemption as an Asian utility vehicle

    Toyota released a diesel version of the first gen Avanza (1.4 L 1ND-TV)

    Strangely, the option was not available for the 2nd gen...

    Adventure. Sobrang basic ng crosswind xt. Tapos mabibingi ka sa ingay ng makina. Parehong makupad pero mas makupad ang crosswind

    I'll choose Adventure. Mas comfortable kaysa sa Crosswind

    Depende sa need.

    I find the Sportivo to be better looking and bigger, but driving comfort is really not there. Sa speed, medyo mas mabilis ng onti ang Adventure. I also find the Isuzu engine much reliable.

    However, riding and driving comfort, mas maganda ang advie.

    Best of both worlds, Innova Diesel.

    I never really like the adventure the seating position is awkward and the diesel adventure(manual) is like driving a gas fed car that you have to step on the gas and clutch for the car to move compared to the Innova manual where in you could just lift your left foot gently off the clutch w/o steeping on the accelerator. The Adventure also has poor legroom and space in the 2nd row seat. I don't think the adventure is fast neither the crosswind. The crosswind has a better driving position and the steering feel is not light at highspeed but the problem is it is so darn bouncy even with 5 people on board.

    My Automatic 2003 Crosswind still gets 12km/l in the city same as my 2007 Toyota Innova =)

    After the mandatory Euro 4 compliant requirement from the DENR, I wonder how long would the Adventure and Crosswind stay available in the market? Both obviously have no hope in getting up to Euro 4 standards, being barely able to scrape past Euro 2.

    For purely utility purposes, I'd go with the Crosswind. More frugal, more reliable, hardly any black smoke when maintained properly, and the pipsqueak turbo leaves further potential for added power via alcohol injection. Not to mention the gearbox is well suited to climbing. Just compare the Crosswind and Adventure cabs in Baguio and you'd see a big difference. Engine also isn't actually that noisy. Especially if it's still new or is well maintained, it's not much noisier than a supposedly much more modern Montero.

    Isuzu has an extension on their Certificate of Compliance until 2017. Parang "grandfather clause" kuno.

    Dunno about Mitsubishi.

    -

    Between the two... always been a Crosswind fan. The latest generation finally cures the rough ride they got when they introduced the XUV line-up... and the XT has everything you need, nothing you don't, and a mechanical package that is nearly indestructible.

    No timing belt or chain to service. No electric fuel pump. No electric anything except for the instrument panel and alarm. All you need to do is have the valve clearances checked at over 100,000 kilometers or whenever you feel like it.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Repainted 1st Gen 1998 Model and still tough. Di nako bibili ng kapalit muna kasi dadagdag lang ako sa traffic congestion sa EDSA. Wait na lang ako if available na yung electric Vehicle Sedan dito sa atin.

    Between the 2, mas gusto ko i drive ang Crosswind, we had the basic XL model before, ok naman sya i drive, decent power for city driving, pero ang pinaka gusto ko sa Crosswind yung aircon, yung lamig nya pwede makipagsabayan sa Nissan

    Sana di pinatay ng Toyota yung Revo nila. Para sa akin yun pinakamaganda na AUV noon

    Malamig talaga aircon ng Crosswind.
    I don't know kung parehas sila ng A/C ng Revo which is Denso din.
    MitAir? No thanks hehe
