Starex gold premium or new Honda odyssey

[EQAddict]

Odyssey for me. Captains chairs self parking etc

Odyssey has paddle shifters so its already a winner in my book

[foresterx]

to be honest i don't think a van really needs a paddle shifter.

Just read the article re: Odyssey launch from Inquirer.net. 3rd row of the Odyssey folds flat. Really flat as in floor level if the pictures are right. Looks like it wins the (usable) space department. Just looks a little tight width-wise at 1800mm.

Point. Though I don't really have a lot of confidence in Hyundai dealers when it comes to parts, too, based on the horror stories I've been hearing from said Starex owners I know. Unless we're talking about Banawe and the like.

I too like the Alphard. But it's way too expensive for me. Can't afford.

I drool everytime I see one, especially the very aggressive front fascia of the latest model.

Toyota Alphard is exempt from import tax if it comes from Japan. Wondering why they didn't use the 3.5 liter engine for the Odyssey so it will be exempt from import tax also. There's a 190 HP 2.4 liter engine version for the JDM Honda Odyssey.

nope. just confirmed to me the manager of TAS. where did you get that info??? Thanks in advance

The JPEPA exempts cars with engines bigger than 3 liters from some tariffs. This is the reason why an FJ cruiser with its huge 4.0 V6 is cheaper than a Rav4 2.5 4x4: http://www.autoindustriya.com/auto-i...-of-jpepa.html

went to honda bgc today and wow ganda ng odyssey. downside lang medjo maliit compared to the starex, di mo ma maximize yung captain seats sa gitna if may uupo sa 3rd row. pero everything else is amazing pati makina sobra tahimik di ko nga akalain na naka start na pala kung di sinabi nung sa na kausap ko. time to check if pwede na pa recar sa company ko total yung hiace na inissue sa akin 6 years na din naman.

*foresterx: Score! The Ody might not have the space of other vans, but that middle row is impressive. ;)

As far as I know, there is no V6 JDM Ody.

Hi,

I googled and I found out that you just bought the Odyssey so I joined to ask about. My wife and I are looking for the same car but no news on availability from our sales executive(Honda Alabang).

If you don't mind,may I know where you got your from and can you share the price and freebies?

If it's not convenient to post, please PM.

Thanks

got it at honda bgc. no cash discount and freebies are the usual tint, matting, lto, window visor, door garnish and some other stuff i forgot will check the quotation when i get home.

if you're going to get one i suggest get one asap, units are being sold fast and current price is just introductory price only and will get 50k increase by next month.

true, it's so much better compared to the other vans currently available in the same price league.

didn't get the chance to test drive it, just played with the paddles shifters when they started it in the showroom.

Also saw the Odyssey at Honda Rizal. It's nice. If I had the money, I'd buy it now.

Yes it does have paddle shifters. Whew. First picture. My agent was wrong with her info . By the way that isn't me sitting on the chair. Just used it for reference. Nice car. Am seriously thinking of getting one .
