Sportivo or Innova?? Pls help

[squala]

A_eyE,

We have both an Innova and a CR-V. The CR-V simply outclasses the Innova, no question.

Get the Innova.

It was actually Honda who classified the CR-V among the likes of Revo, Crosswind and Adventure. It ridiculously had 10 seatbelts whereas its intended capacity is only half that. It actually worked positively (sales) and negatively (no longer that classy compared to RAV and the others) for them.

if you are patient enough sa byahe mag isuzu ka, more or less mahuhuli ka talga sa hatawan sa hi way. kung sportivo e sa new adventure na ako, mas tahimik mas mabilis and mas comfort. my cousin has 1 and it is absolutely lovely to drive, kawawa lang mga crosswind sa habulan i tell you, diesel din yon.

[scharnhorst]

Innova. I never get to outrun these things. The ride is also much more comfortable than the leaf-springed sportivo.

[mhelskie]

if you're getting the crosswind, wag ka kuha A/T, baka tubuan ka ugat sa bagal wehehehe, kami naka sportivo M/T pero nababagalan pa din...pero cguro sanayan lang din, 1st time kong nag drive ng diesel e, dati puro gas engines

[O!lman]

Innova syempre. I dont like the ride of Sportivo. maingay na, matagtag pa. Kakabili pa lang ng Bro-in law ko ng Black Sportivo A/T at napansin ko na napaka-usok while climbing cannon road. Mukhang nabibilaukan while shifting gears.

I just want to share an objective view on this discussion:

For me it still depends on the preference of the user. I just owned a 2007 Sportivo AT. I was also able to test drive the new Innova G Diesel that was my alternative choice in buying. These are my personal observations:

RIDING COMFORT
Innova Diesel is just like driving a car. But with the new SPORTIVO, I was surprised to feel like it was softer to ride than the INNOVA due maybe to the fact the Innova had smaller wheels or maybe it had over inflated tires. Of course driving SPORTIVO is just like driving a pick up.

ENGINE NOISE:
I believe the new SPORTIVO (2007) has already improved. I knew how noisy XWIND was before. But when I compared the noise with that of the INNOVA diesel, they have the same engine noise outside. Meaning, XWIND has already managed to minimize noise and vibration of the engine. Though Innova seemed quieter if you were inside due to a more compact interior.

EXTERIOR:
I like the SPORTIVO more than the INNOVA.

INTERIOR:
Innova beats hands-down the SPORTIVO. It's the XWIND interior that has not improved. If XWIND want to maintain market, then it's high time that they also improve its interior.

AUDIO SETUP:
Sportivo has a DVD system though INNOVA has, for me, a better sound balance that you don't need additional sub woofer for the INNOVA to sound good inside.

ENGINE PERFORMANCE:
Innova beats hands-down again SPORTIVO. The INNOVA diesel takes easy to accelerate from low speed and it accelerates as though you are driving a gas variant. SPORTIVO took time to get to its top speed. SPORTIVO is not for those after speed and performance.

FUEL EFFICIENCY
I did not have a chance to measure both performances.

Go for the Toyota Innova G diesel! Mas matipid 'to sa gas. Masikip lang sa 3rd row. Engine is medyo tahimik. Plus it's cheaper.

Isuzu Crosswind Sportivo smoke belcher- I saw one a while ago, grabeng smoke belcher! Kahit idle, may bumubugang usok sa muffler. AT varient seems to be slower than Kia Prides... dahil nakasakay nako sa isa- inovertake kami nang Kia Pride! Napakaingay pa ang makina!
More expensive, but you get 2 headrest-mounted LCD screens, and the front passenger seat, may massager! Tigas!

Go for the Innova, I tell you.

We already test drove the innova last weekend kaya lang medyo bitin,sa parking lot lang kasi ng world trade kaya di masyado maihataw,mas ok sana kung kahit sa konting lubak din pero overall rating maganda nga talaga ang innova,ganda ng interior.Anyway nagdecide na yung cousin ko na we'll get the innova diesel G variant. BTW after pala namin sa world trade,nagpunta rin kami sa isuzu otis tumingin din kami ng sportivo to see the difference,panalong panalo ang interior ng innova,macho lang talaga ang sportivo at matatag (tama ba?). Question lang,mas maganda ba talaga ang aluminun engine block compared to solid metal engine block like the 4JA1? di ba mas matatag kung solid metal? Parang biglang naging question mark sakin yun nung nalaman ko na aluminum yung sa innova.

Congratulations sa pinsan mo bro. Indeed Innova is more comfy, quieter, etc. Sportivo is more of a macho ride like what you said. Eto lang yata ang AUV na pormang SUV in terms of looks. Eto rin lang yata ang AUV na nag-aasal 4x4 (tingnan mo avatar ni x-wind)
But it all boils down to the question: How are you going to use your ride; normal family car or hauling, toughie macho machine?

Squala, I don't know about you, but I still prefer our 04' CR-V than Rav 4s and X-trails. As long as you get the 5 seater version of the CR-V, it's all good.

[Xt7]

sa overall rating ng dalawa. ano mas gusto mo para sayo?
innova G kc carlike performance, tibay toyota at accesible, mura parts.
sportivo naman ay taas ground clearance, matibay din engine, kaso nga lang matigas ang ride, maingay at mausok. halos lahat ng nakikita ko sa crsswind ay mausok. sa mga innova naman ay bibihira lang na makita ko na may usok. halos wala pa nga ako nakikita na innova na umusok tambucho. innova kc tahimik makina kahit diesel engine. yung diesel naman daw ng crsswnd ay matatag daw kaso bakit napakausok at ang ingay ingay parang truck sa ingay.
looks naman ng sportivo ay talaga namang napaka kisig ang tindig niya. yung innova ay ma futuristic ang design, maganda ang interior design di gaya ng sportivo.
sa bilis naman ay panalo talga innova mapa gasoline or diesel engine.
ANO KAYA?? sayo??

[1997]

kung Diesel pipiliin ko Innova E. Dumihin kasi yung Interiro ng G e... Hehehe... Kung Between Innova And crosswind Innova pa rin...

[alwayz_yummy]

innova V!..matic nga lang at 6 seater(cap'n seat ang 2nd row)..leather seats may TV/DVd pa...

pero kung nahihinaan ka, daanin mo sa ecu upgrade ang innova...pwede mo naman i-lift ng 1-2 inches ang innova--leaf spring ang likod, torsion bar din ata ang harap...

[BlueBimmer]

di ata leafspring ang innova...kita ko innova G ni utol naka coilsprings sa likod

[Syuryuken]

Yung crosswind ang naka leaf spring.

Innova or Crosswind? Siyempre Innova mapa diesel o gasolina.

[alwayz_yummy]

coil ba? hehe.. e di spacers nalang at longer shocks...hmm this gave me the idea also...

[Cobalt Blue]

Innova is great in terms of porma at practicality at resale value wala ka problema sa parts kasi toyota yan at better di siya ginagawa pang colorum kay di takaw huli at easy to drive at good air conditioning and even the ground model is great
