[bogart_seph]

[Syuryuken]

H100 for me.

[HyBrideVo]

Pregio

[jcastillo932]

Sa Choices na binigay mo I'll get Pregio. Pero pag may kaunting budget pa mag Urvan Escapade second hand ka na lang. Mas reliable yun kaysa sa 3 choices mo.

[userfriendly]

May L300 at Pregio ang company namin.

The L300 is pretty much bullet proof. Its old, ugly, slow but last forever.

Our Pregio is equipped with an AT. 2002 model yata. Not as reliable as the L300 and under powered but a lot more comfortable. No major problems but minor stuff here and there. We already changed the rear shocks, water plug, engine pulley, has gone through 2 sets of v-belts. Less than 60T kms.

Uy its my 888th post! Swerte kaya ito?

hmmm kung me budjet bakit dikana lang mag MB100 na LOCAL CMC ganda pa maluwag very very comfortable ganda engine 2.9 cc sarap long drive kasya whole family yun gamit ng barkada ko at yun ang pinili ko sa kanila... so far no major problem... kung btween sa 3 L300 nalang pero alternative din ang besta van.. mas ok ang besta din

[impulzz]

what is your intended purpose? family van or for business? kung family van, urvan escapade maganda, malakas aircon and maluwag. kung business L300 fb lang.

but i have 2 '94 hi aces. both with strong aircon and engine power is enough for city driving, medyo matagtag nga lang. both used as family and business vans

[ronw123w124]

Mag Hiace ka na lang bro. Ours is almost 12 years super reliable pa rin with more than 200th km. Ang nasira pa lang yung cooling coil ng aircon, pero nung maayos super lamig ulit. Nagka L3 (both diesel and gas) kami dati and its one of the WORST van we have owned.

[AKA]

If it's for business mag L300 kn na lang as what user friendly said it's bullet proof!!!

[OTEP]

We had an L300. The drivetrain is bulletproof yes. But the body is not. Madali kalawangin, lots of rattle, aircon that barely works.

And for something with 12 seats in it, I don't find it funny that only two seats have seatbelts tapos hindi pa ELR yung seatbelts! And forget about adjusting the driver's seat, ni walang recline adjustment! hahahaha. Ang dali pa masira nung bottom cushion, humihiwalay dun sa frame niya.

The glovebox door of a KAMA brand truck works better than the L300's whose glovebox door seems to have been plucked from the Tupperware 1980 catalog.

I'm not getting another L300 Versa Van ever! hehehe.

Buti pa MB100 kahit daming negative feedbacks, 10 years na naming gamit wala pa din paltos.

If on a budget, I'll just spring for a Hyundai Grace na round body. It's a rebodied version of the square Hyundai Grace which is a licensed version of the Mitsubishi L300 Exceed.

Kung for business, mag Hyundai Porter na lang ako. At least yung cabin ay human friendly.

kung madagdagan mo ng konti budget mo mag mb100 ka na lang, basta yung CMC version. sa ibat ibang van na natry namin mb100 pa din binabalikan namin, very reliable, lakas pa aircon.
pregio di reliable, sirain sya, sa 2 units na natry namin halos parehong sirain, local units pa....
yung grace naman, d na namin sinubukan, karamihan kasi nito reconditioned..
L300 ok naman pang harabas, magimprove aircon nya kung ililipat yung location ng evaporator?? di ko lam tawag e, basta yung parang radiator ng aircon, kasi di sya masyado nahahanginan sa engine bay, ililipat sa lugar na maganda airflow. pangit nga lang sa L300 e yung styling nya, mula ng unang labas ng 80's e ganun pa rin hangang ngayon, nag iba lang air con, P/S, interior color, kahit power window lang sana idagdag.. pero kung L300 Exceed, ibang usapan na yun..

[ejr]

L300, mas ok kung diesel kasi mahal ang gas.yung driver seat eh hindi recliniable,kaya hindi mo makuha yung komportableng upo para magdrive.mahina aircon.yung iba nilalagyan pa ng pang spray yung radiator para hindi masyado tumaas ang temp.fix lahat ng seats hindi adjustable.yung H100 eh ang alam ko eh parang reconditioned ang mga yan galing korea.Pregio,meron kami nito dati.matagal ko ding ginamit,malakas aircon.ang pregio eh coil spring ang likod hindi katulad ng L300 at H100 na mulye ang likod.mas maluwag ang pregio kesa sa L3 at H1.sabi ng iba eh under power ang pregio.eh di para mas maganda eh yung 3.0 na pregio ang kunin mo kasi me 2.7 din na pregio.ang L300 naman eh 2.0 lang pag gas at 2.5 pag diesel .ang H100 eh 2.5 lang din ang diesel kaya mas malaki ang makina ng pregio.me model ang pregio na adjustable lahat ng seats nya pwera lang sa pinakahuling upuan.:morgensmile:

Between the three... Get the L300 Exceed which is similar body to the Grace. I found a lot of Grace's on the road that doesnt have a proper interior fittings. The suspension damp is very minimal and depressed. I dont know, it seems like it rides almost similar to L300. As a matter of my experience, L300 is feels more solid if the body is being take cared of.

Dont be fooled by which is reliable - because all of them are. Growing up with an L300 for almost 20 years. Ours is still running today.

But I do agree its old, ugly and it needs a new breathe of life.

The Hyundai Grace was available as a local unit (not reconditioned) as sold by Francisco Motors. If you can find one in good condition, its a nice van also).
