    If you want an upgrade, a newer model Crosswind might be logical choice.

    I would rather opt for an old model Starex than take on the Mazda MPV.

    Malakas sa gas ang MPV pero malakas bumatak.

    The engine of the local MPV is same as the first gen Everest 2.5L Turbodiesel. So parts should never be scarce. Local MPVs are MT only so it should not be as guzzler as you think, but definitely will smoke a Hilander or a newer 'turbo'-kuno na Crosswind. It seats 7 via 4 captains chairs and a rear bench. It has ABS and dual airbags, i think it is one of the 1st to bring the combo locally. Lastly, it has better ride, handling and refinement than your current car.

    These are actually the things which make me think about the mpv. knowing that the everest has the same powerplant means there are still parts out there for the mpv, and since i'd assume it's lighter than the eve, then it wouldn't be much of a guzzler as the eve. Though I've read about some issues of cylinder heads cracking rather early for the eve and early model Rangers which have the same engine as well.

    question lang. what do you guys mean by "local mpv"? was this sold here through dealers? or you mean by grey market? all the while, i thought that the few mpv's i see on local roads are from subic or other ports.

    Haven't heard of the cracking issue. But if it occurs on older cars which have overheated... it's possible. Proper maintenance is the key. I know quite a few 200-300k km Ranger owners.
