Good day po! Plan po kasi bumili ng brand new vehicle ang family ng girlfriend ko, which is based po sa Marinduque. Ano po ang ma-recommend nyo na pwede magsakay ng at least 7 pax at budget na 1M max. Sa Marinduque po mag base yung sasakyan at first time po nila magkakaroon ng sasakyan. TIA!

I have an Innova and its a ver good car. But for provincial use where the fuel quality might be suspect, I'll advice that you go for an old school diesel. As much as I hate the Crosswind, I'll suggest it just for its legendary reliability. Take note that its noisy, slow, over priced and long over due for a replacement. I'm only suggesting it bec it will happily burn piss poor quality diesel and smile while doing so. Heck it might even burn bunker fuel. Being on an island, the diesel might not be the best quality.

The innova is a bit picky with fuel quality. I had the misfortune of loading up in Shell Clark air base and it ran like crap for a few days. After using up the tank and loading with a different brand, performance went back to normal.

Actually Innova Diesel din unang pumasok sa isip ko, pero dahil nga sa fuel quality sa province at wala naman yata turbo diesel or vpower diesel dun e nagdalawang isip ako. Sumunod na naisip ko Gas na Innova, dahil na din gusto nila na automatic transmission, pero try ko pa din sila convince na mag manual para mas madami choices like Adventure and Crosswind.

Between Adventure and Crosswind po ba alin ang mas recommended nyo?

Maraming salamat po sa mga nagreply.

I-stretch mo nalang budget mo ng konting konti then get the 2012 Mitsubishi Montero GLX Non-VGT MT ( ~1.1M ) at least SUV pa.

1M lang po talaga max budget e. Tsaka po hindi din naman masyado magagamit. Minsan lang naman din mapupunta dito sa Metro Manila yung sasakyan. Gusto lang po talaga mabilhan ng sasakyan yung parents since tumatanda na din, para daw ma-experience na may sasakyan. hehe! Meron po ba Casa sa Lucena Quezon?

Ah kung AT din hanap baka hindi rin kayanin yung Montero AT (1.2M)

Pinaka-ok na choice IMO is the Innova E Diesel, ikaw na bahala kung ano mas gusto ni erpats... AT ba or MT.

If he still finds it too big, there's the Avanza 1.5G AT, gas nga lang.

Huwag ka na mag-Innova Gas. Malakas kumonsumo, around 6-7km/L. Syempre gusto mo kay erpats yung matipid diba and mura.

I've been to Lucena Quezon naman, fueled up there few times... no problems whatsoever. I don't know if it works the same with diesels.

Wag na Crosswind or Adventure, give your parents the best car possible that has the best comfort and driving experience. Workhorse ang crosswind.

i would lean towards the adventure. parts are aplenty and quite cheap not to mention that most shops are quite familiar with the tried and tested 4d56. btw i hope the island still has no kotong boys in the form of roadside smoke belching tests.
