AFAIK, classified na po ang Innova as MPV... not sure though on the Fusion.

Sa local vans, gusto ko talaga yung Grand Starex HVX (gray market) kahit stock ok na. O kaya HiAce Super Grandia basta naka 18" Volk Racing TE37 rims.

Palagay ko yes. It's kinda obvious kasi there's a lower variant in the Avanza PLUS koknti lang naman ang sakay ng Innova.

For me, Hyundai's CRDi Starex will top my list.

Power + fuel efficiency + functionality = Best value for your money!

my first choice supposed to be a Chevrolet Zafira, which is for me a very nice MPV, price of the 2nd hand well maintained 2006 model is less than 400 thousand which is considerably a good buy, unfortunately the problem is the availability of parts and fuel consumption...

second choice is the Honda Odyssey, surplus model which sells for less than 300 thousand but i have doubt with regard to the quality of conversion...

finally, the Hyundai Matrix CRDi which i ended up with. cost more than the first two but in the end i'm quite satisfied. because first of all the car is frugal, more frugal than my current LPG powered Optra, secondly its very spacious (just fold up the back seat) and finally its very nimble, easily zip around in traffic...

by the way Chevrolet Optra and Hyundai Matrix is designed by the famous Pininfarina, the same one's who designs Ferrari's...

I'm also in the market for a Van/MPV. So far, I'm leaning toward the Kia Carnival/New Starex. Kung kasama wagon, I also like the suzuki esteem -- gandang ganda ako -- parang Volvo ang dating! Kaya lang konti lang sakay kaya out siya.

for me, its the hyundai grand starex crdi 9 seater, second choice is the kia carnival ex short wheel base...

I didn't know the Matrix was an MPV ... ilan sakay niya bro? Eh yung Zafira ilan sakay?
