Carens for me

[GTi]

Hi RB and welcome to tsikot! Between the three, I'd definitely take the Carens. The Avanza is very cramped for a seven seater and the engine is also rather weak, especially if you're climbing up Kennon Road and the seven people you carry are heavyweights who also happen to tag along a lot of stuff. The Innova is fine, the ubiquitous family car of today. Its sturdy, roomy and adequately powerful. Courtesy of its ladder frame chassis, rugged terrain, huge potholes and unpaved roads are no problem. But then, the Carens is a much better product with an excellent engine which is very quick and very thrifty. Being on a unibody platform, it is not as rugged as the Innova but will do much better in the comfort and handling department. IMHO this car is best enjoyed with the 6 speed manual since the other transmission available is just a 4 speed A/T.

Depende sa needs at sa budget.

I think for topics like this "budget" shouldn't be considered since the thread owner specified the vehicles "interesting" for him/her, price/budget considered.

for me + 1 carens.

I'd go sana for the carens before i bought my innova. Pero why is it that sa Carens Forum eh puro problema ang nakikta ko na gripes ng owners. Especially the older unit.
