Mitsubishi Adventure vs. Toyota Avanza

[badkuk]

which is cheaper to maintain? the adventure has been around for some time, so i'd expect parts to be readily available. The 4D56 engine has been around a long while too, so i'd expect maintaining it is cheap too.

on the other hand, the avanza has more modern, more powerful engine(1.3L-wise of course)

am looking for something for every day city driving, with the option to haul groceries and people on the weekends.

[badkuk]

[kevin3000]

Any good old adventure will beat avanza.

Matagtag ang avanza unlike adventure pwede mo dalhin kahit saan. Long-term, adventure pa rin talaga.

[_Qwerty_]

parang ni adjust na nila yung tagtag nang Avanza don sa 2nd gen na ni release nila this year.. hindi na sya ganon katagtag..

[woohoo]

Bakit sabi nila mas matagtag ang leaf springs kesa sa coil springs? :confused:

Di ba naka-leaf springs ang Adventure? naka-Coil springs naman ang Avanza.

Ano ba talaga, mga kuya?

One reason kaya nagpalit ng rear suspension ang APV (main rival of Avanza)
from LEAF to COIL spring is because of the riding comfort. But if you treat a vehicle to severe road punishment, then leaf spring would be ideal.
Also, the front-facing 3rd row seat of the Avanza is better compared to the Adventure.

Kung city driving....avanza na lang. Pero kung madalas ang pagpunta sa province advie ka na lang hehehe......

Hi mga tsikoters, kamusta kayo? i'm new here and the forum.

Planning to buy a brand new between these two cars (GLS Sport M/T & 1.5G M/T) when i get home next month.
Which is better in terms of the following category;

1. Fuel efficiency
2. Engine durability
3. Exterior
4. Interior
5. Safety

Let's say city driving home/office and family outing on weekends.

In addition, some usual defects that happened in early stage.

Thank you in advance and more power.

If I'm in your situation I'm gonna choose the avanza over the adventure.
Why?
1. Avanza is a newer vehicle model.
2. The Avanza has Dual airbags and ABS.
3. The Toyota brand.
4. Interior is far more good looking than the adventure.
5. Newer engine and quieter(gas) than the adventure (old diesel).

The adventure is a VERY OLD vehicle. Although many people say its durable. Think as if your buying a brand new 10 year old vehicle. The avanza is newer with more safety features and the reliable toyota brand. Our family owns one and we never had problems with it.

Good Luck on your purchase!

test drive them both.. depende sa needs mo yan eh..

[apolo-g]

thanks sa mga advise guys..
hmmm.. mukhang mas lamang ang avanza lalo na sa safety features kaso sabi ni misis medyo masikip ang loob compared to advie. gusto nya kasi in the future gawing pang byahe, sa tingin nyo ba saan sa dalawa ang tatagal at sulit. hindi ba hirap ang 4 passenger sa 3rd row ng avanza?

ang smoky issue ba ng advie is normal pag tumatagal or depende sa nagaalaga? siguro naman kung sinusunod ang periodic maintence hindi naman siguro magkakaganun. sorry po walang kasi ako masyadong alam sa mga cars.

Regarding the smoke issue, Adventures can easily spew out smoke if not properly maintained, on the other hand if you are a hands on owner and follow the regular maintenance schedule, chances of smoke issue will be lessened but it would still spew out smoke (in a lesser quantity than a passenger jeep that is.)

I selected Avanza because of its new engine and ideal for city/lady driving but when it comes to comfort, size and durability kay Advie na ako. Dami pa ring lumang advie na nasa kalye and the same engine sya ng mga old Pajero and L300. And I think more powrful engine.

Normal lang na magproduce ng usok si Advie kasi diesel engine sya but kung brand new naman ay it will take time bago sya maging mausok but it will depend also sabi nga nila sa pagaalaga rin yun. Ako kasi eversince ay gas ang car ko kaya di ako comfortable makakita ng usok sa garage ko.

SHARING IS CARING.....

[welscua]

Avanza for me, new engine and good for city driving. dami nako nakitang smoky advie. Try mo read both threads here in Tsikot.

i think offered pa ang 9 seater config sa GLS Sport if yes dito na ko. masikip ang front facing gaya ng sa pinsan ko. pero kung speed and max of 7 pax lang sa avanza ko yung G. 50-50 ko dito pero kung may speed rin ang adventure 100% ako dun.

[OldSchoolHack]

Avanza basta 1.5. City driving it will be nice and feedbacks on newer models have been positive.

i look at the ground clearance. then i open the hood and look for the distributor and hi tension cables. then i make my decision. (my children go to school via quezon blvd, passing infront of ust.).)
