    mitsu adventure diesel. i need comments po.

    i am considering getting one for my son.. need a vehicle na madaling manenuhin (newbie driver), hindi mabilis (anti-racing), tight turning radius at medyo makitid, dahil masikip sa aming neighborhood. reliable and matibay din (of course! as i'm the one paying for its fuel and maintenance..)
    comments on the choice, pls.
    i'd love a revo diesel glx, but no one seems to be selling a good, well-maintained model nowadays..
    and the innova is simply... blimp-ish.

    i have an innova. it's on the wide side, and the turning radius is "uncomfortable".
    avanza... how's the gas in-efficiency in the new model? the first release model's turned me off with its fuel consumption.

    Mitsu fan here.

    If Avanza is on the table, then Mobilio, Spin, Ertiga should be as well.

    With that said, we own a gls sport. Nice realible car indeed. High clearance as well.

    Downside, matagtag compared to my Ertiga; HUGE greenhouse as well, so get a very good brand and model of tint.

    What is the intended use case scenario? Will your son be driving alone most of the time? Car pool a lot of passengers? Carry a lot of cargo?

    How about a TD Crosswind? It's sort of a middle ground between the Innova and Advie as far as power and fuel economy.

    Btw, we've had an Adventure in the 90's when it was first introduced. My dad's comments were mahina and mausok. And the rear A/C kept dripping and making noises. Don't know how much has changed since then.

    Jimny. It fits the bill. Its spartan though. But unlike the adventure the jimny is an enthusiast's car. For me ask your son what he likes.

    Kasi when giving gifts, always remember, to buy what the person wants and not what you want for them.

    he is considering a mirage. but as it's rather new to the market, we might have maintenance and longevity concerns.
    i have innova and wigo. and he doesn't warm up to either.

    ... or Ertiga. Small enough for tight spaces, but still functional. And it's not too 'old-school' like the Advie.

    Our office has 11 adventures as service vehicles for the employees. All of them bought brand new and all properly maintained with religiously changing the oil every 5000kms. The oldest is 4 years old and high mileage already at 160,000+kms. All I can say is the 11 cars never had any problems. hinde man lang tumirik kahit minsan and the euro 2 models, hinde mausok. They also age quite well and all of them still look almost brand new.

    Bilib ako sa adventure and when the time comes that our adventures will hit 6 years of age (we replace our company vehicles every 6 years) adventure pa rin ang bibilhin namin. Matibay, hinde sirain, matipid sa diesel, mura ang parts, avalable kahit sa kantong auto supply ang parts, Kabisado nang kahit sinong mekaniko. The perfect vehicle for business use.

    Ganyan nalang bigay mo bro.

    Yung gusto nya. G4 ba or HB?

    Hulaan ko HB yan. Binata ata eh.

    Wag mo bigyan ng Swift 1.4 or 1.2 though. That is one agile and fast car. The 1.4 can be used to race in near stock. Change brake at gulong lang halos.

    I assume binata sya or early 20s by age. If thats the case (otherwise do tell) jimny, ecosport and ung adventure ang choices mo.
    Jimny - like i said enthusiast car yan. Unique din and lalaking lalaki ika nga.
    Ecosport - comfort. Pero mejo feminine.
    Adventure - uhm. For me lang pang matanda. Lamang lang sa passenger and diesel

    hindi mabilis
    tight turning radius
    makitid dahil masikip ang inyong neighborhood
    reliable at matibay
    fuel and maintenance

    - mitsubishi mirage, toyota wigo, susuki celerio or alto

    maliliit lang makina niyan pero magaan, kang pipilitin eh bibilis talaga, pati pag konsumo ng gasolina bibilis din...
