    If you'll either keep or sell the vehicle after some years of use, then you might want to consider the resale value. The innova will obviously be on top given that it's a toyota and is also the most modern of the three while the crosswind esp. the sportivo variants will be the 2nd because the sportivo is overpriced but it is also very reliable and fuel efficient at the same time. The adventure comes at last but it doesnt mean it's the worst. It's just that it's not as powerful as the innova nor as fuel efficient as the crosswind but while it can't really be compared to the former, it has better nvh levels than the latter for sure and some even say that it has more comfortable suspension than the isuzu. Both the adventure and the crosswind are smoke belchers though since of their old but reliable engines. Driving either of them in certain areas of edsa might catch an asbu's attention if caught redhanded so you should watch out for them.

    if you're old school and don't like complex modern engines

    if you like to drive slow (like me )

    if you don't mind buying a super old design

    if you don't mind polluting the air

    go for it

    The better choice (based on your situation)

    Adventure = cheaper to maintain + parts everywhere.

    I think the rear suspension of the Innova is not as heavy duty as that of the Adventure and the Crosswind?

    Coils versus leaf springs.

    If your monthly budget is within the X amount lang, wag pilitin.

    Buy what is practical for you and your family.

    Good luck.

    If I'm going to use it for business like loading your ukay ukay. tama yung
    suggestion na go for the Nissan van or hiace. sa comfort,capacity and
    power. but for budget contraints i'll go for the adventure or crosswind.

    the new innova is the best choice but baka manghinayang ka kargahan hehe. consider the price and maintenance cost.

    yung crosswind mas maluwag compared sa adventure. you can visit and view sa casa so you can compare.

    To add to my comment earlier...

    Innova is great, it's modern, fast, comfortable and reliable.

    Sweet spot for the Adventure and Crosswind (for me) are the GLX and XT variants. If you're getting the top of the line versions, better get the entry level Innova.

    Adventure gets a big plus for the 7 seat configuration, we all know how uncomfortable it is to sit on the side facing seats of a UV Express

    Adventure and Crosswind are the last AUVs. rear leaf springs are so easy to maintain. No computer box, no fancy electronics.

    Yes, you don't get the ABS, EBD and Airbags

    But if something goes wrong... You can always find an under the tree mechanic to make basic repairs.

    The Isuzu Crosswind is sadly getting the axe | TopGear Philippines

    Can you still register your Euro 2 vehicle in 2018? | TopGear Philippines

    Even if the DENR will no longer accept Euro 2 Certificates of Conformity (COC) as a basis of initial registration with LTO beginning January 1, 2018, this only applies to brand-new vehicles.

    Let me add another thing that can be included in one of your concerns: the innova also edges the two auvs by offering more safety, even if it's just the j variant. It's also 2017 already yet afaik, throughout the years neither isuzu or mitsubishi have considered putting airbags and abs in their respective auvs. Even small cars like the wigo have airbags in their base model. It should be standard nowadays.

    I have an adventure gls as my daily drive and crosswind XT service at our office.. the only plus of the crosswind is its timing gear engine with low charge turbo.. everthing else adventure! Build quality and riding comfort is much better.. crosswind have gaps in between door and body at the bottom (you can see the road while inside the cabin). Seats are much comfy with adventure with 60:40 split. Shaky steering wheel with the crosswind will make your hands numb in traffic!

    Owning these AUVs are hassle free, low maintenance and will serve your basic needs!

    Although not equipped with supplemental safety equipment such as ABS airbag etc.. these AUV have handicap in speed and accelaration.. 0 - 100 will take you a minute and going 100 makes the engine shouting on top of its voice consuming lotsa diesel.. 60kph is the optimal and 80kph is max speed.

    I have different experience with my XTO. I dont experience yung numbness holding the wheel even driving the whole day. What is that opening that you are seeing, I have not notice it. My XTO is 16 years na and still strong. 120 to 130 kph is very easy to attain without problem. Pang day to day use at cheap to maintain. If you are looking for fancy car this is not your car.
    I have a front facing 3rd row do di gaanong problema umupo sa likod. Yung 3rd row can hold a lot of baggage since you fold front yung upuan pag hindi mo gagamitin.

    May gap yung mga units namin sa office sa 2nd row doors. Sa lower portion. In between cabin floor at yung pinto medyo malaki yung siwang kahit fully closed yung pinto.. di din maganda amoy kahit brand new lahat 40 units yun! Yung sa steering wheel lakas talaga ng yanig eh pati kambyo.. yung speed naman kaya naman talaga ng adventure at crosswind yung 120 kph di nga lang kasing smooth ng innova..

    Pero practicality at hassle free ownership panalo yan compared sa innova lalo na kung matagalan ang gamit..
