+1 for the Ertiga. 812k for the matic, less discounts pa from the casa.

7 seater with adjustable middle row, wider and with a longer wheelbase than both the Avanza and Mobilio (though a bit lower ground clearance than the two), looks nice, more or less same maintenance costs as the others.

Very true. Probably going to our 3rd Innova purchase.

Nung bibili kami ng 2nd hand 2 months ago, it was a toss up between an innova and a xwind.

Did a little research, rode some vehicles. Ang layo sobra ng innova vs xwind. Parang night and day. Yun nga lang, may halong nightmare si xwind (no offense to owners).

A good side ng xwind is that matibay talaga. Even half the body is submerged in flood, aandar pa din, based on my interview with owners.

Agree jurassic era pa talaga ito so expect little to no creature comfort.

If ever you decide to buy a crosswind don't buy a brand new unit its not worth it maybe 2012 to 2015 2nd hand. less than half the price just buy a fresh one.
If your deciding between the innova 2.8 and crosswind. Go for the Innova its a complete vehicle height , power and safety features.

Mahal din ang 2nd hand crosswind e. Really not worth it in my opinion lalo na ang brand new

My 1st vehicle is 2016 Mobilio : ) 30% DP 16,213 monthly
it really suits my needs with 7 smiles : ) rural roads once a month uphill downhill, less chances na mastock-up sa putik dahil front wheel drive compared to rear drive static fix rotation, imo.
Nasa driver padin nakasalalay mostly ang lifespan ng iyong sasakyan, though wala pa akong napapatunayan. hehe
Goodluck on your 1st car.

For diesel get innova.

If Gasoline get avanza.

Both RWD and conventional Automatic Transmission.

Resale value of RWD is better than FWD.

^ i dont think being FWD or RWD has anything to do with resale value.

It depends on markets. Dami ng avanza sa 2nd hand market, yung iba mas mura pa kesa vios of the same year and variant.

sir maybe get the 2nd hand vios or avanza 1.3. ok naman yan kahit medyo malaki ka. baka kasi matakawan ka lang sa gas pag malaki makina, magagamit mo pa everyday. meron ka nga lang ipapagawa pag 2nd hand and need mo ng reliable na mechanic. malaki na matitipid mo dyan sir
