2011 Ford E-150 Club Wagon vs 2011 Hyundai Grand Starex HVX

[numbah5]

My dad is planning to sell his Gen. 2 Expedition due to "kumakalampag" na front shocks. The two vans are our choices. Which of the two is better in terms of:

1. Ride comfort
2. Convenience features
3. Performance
4. Maintenance costs
5. Flexibility (Can accomodate my dad's numerous surgical instruments and implants and during long trips can accommodate 9-10 passengers)
6. Safety features

Your inputs will be very much appreciated. TIA!

i think E-150 is in a class of its own... GMC savana siguro ang ka-match niyan...

your family currently owns an expedition so medyo ang maitenance cost niyan and halos at par with the expedition

E-150 has more capacity to accomodate your dad's equipment

comfort- nakasakay na ako both mastype ko ride nung e-150 (maybe because hindi cramped like the starex)

sa angas factor panalo E-150, standard ride yan sa mga garahe ng mga congressman... 2 kaibigan ko anak ng congressman meron sila niyan.hehe

Because of the maintenance cost kaya umaaray parents ko ngayon. We now spent more than 100k just for the replacement of the front shocks thrice in the past month.

If that's the case then go for the Hyundai. Maintenance of the E150, not to mention the fuel costs will be very expensive. Although it will be much comfortable, the Starex isn't far behind in terms of ride comfort.

In terms of space, yes the E150 is huge but the Starex is also big inside.

How about Hi-Ace super grandia? i think it is also a good choice.

Was about to type na get the E 150 kaso nakito ko umaray kayo sa expedition. Pero iba talaga ang E150 kung kaya lang ang maintenance, this is the shiznit!!

Malaki at kumportable parang baby bus sa loob panalo, di ko makalimutan dati nanundo kami sa airport, antagal namin naka parada sa tapat ng arrival, lahat ng mga auto pinaalis kami lang hindi

[jhnkvn]

Kung maintenance ng Expedition umaaray na kayo, lalo pa sa E150 in the future

Get the Grand Starex (not the Limo version... sobrang overpriced mga yun) and be done with it.

Bar None: Hyundai Grand Starex HVX

Why??
- Fuel efficient (has a diesel)
- More spare parts
- Discounts aplenty
- Comfortable ride (even if its truck based)

If you're inclined on getting a Ford E-150, forget about it.

1. E-150, maganda suspension at feel ng upuan (driver) ng E-150 compared sa grand starex
2. HVX, driver friendly ang cockpit design ng E-150, pero overall mas maraming convenience feature ang fully mod na HVX for both passengers and the driver.
3. E-150, malakas ang makina ng E-150 with more standard safety features.
4. HVX, Sa first 3 years almost same cost lang sila ng maintenance with HVX, but after that magastos ang E-150 sa maintenance, mahal at indent order ang parts, lakas pa ng FC.
5. HVX, 12 seater ang HVX, yung E-150 ko, good for 7 passengers lang (I dont know if may 9 seater na ang E-150) but theres big room for baggage.
6. Tie, both have adequate safety features. Although sa US may nabasa ako na case na sumabog ang gas tank ng E-150 when directly hit during a pile up sa freeway. They say new gas tank design is already safe, but we dont know for sure.

For Philippine setting I'll go for the HVX, mas practical. I have a E-150 before but sold it in favor of a Starex, because of high gasoline prices (sakit sa bulsa P12T gas, from Manila to Solano VV) , shortage and escalating cost of parts, I even smuggled parts in my baggage from the US just to keep my E-150 running, and sa traffic, hirap isingit lalo na sa provincial roads.
