So far, have you noticed on its engine power?

Power is surprisingly adequate just don't expect so much from it's 1.6L engine. Sabi nga nila, mid-engine na rearwheel drive kaya mukhang malakas hatak, hehehe.

Naaksidente kami kahapon..... binato kami at nabasag yung windshield...... sa may C5 sa SLEX. Meron akong nabasa about pambabato sa C5 somewhere here in tsikot. Mahanap nga.......

pambabato along C5? ... its something our TMGs and PNPs should look into. Where in particular did this happen?

sorry to hear that. so Macky, how did it go?

I bought the APV almost a month ago. I was eying the Innova a few months before, but my budget won't let me get the family car I've longing for.

If I have a million, I would have taken the Everest instead, as the high-end Innovas are already within the range of the basic Everest models. I have to sacrifice the amphibious nature (being able to cut through floods) of big-wheelled SUVs when I've decided on the APV.

My former car is a Vitara.... I have yet to test if the APVs are truly amphibious...

I looked at the APV. Base model is very low priced. But auto model is way over what I would expect to pay. Its interior space is impressive but rather high, due to its platform van design. Engine is below driver seat!. This is a real van and it made no pretence about it. It happen to have rear doors like a car.

Innova on the other hand is MPV with car-like design. And (probably) car like drive. I have not driven one before so can't say. Its styling is rather nice and interior space wise, fitting for what I wanted. For me, Innova, it is. Now, decision is when I should buy.

Choices were:
Lynx RS -> Innova J Diesel -> APV -> Focus 1.8 -> Innova J VVTI
I bought a Vios 1.5 a year ago without even testdriving it or looking at it! Just collected it when everything was ready.

Flipinos always go for practicality that's why our car scene is not exciting. Car brands and their models are few... I will go for suzuki, though that has a better value for money...

I have an Innova G manual with diesel engine. My only drawback is the space limitation.I usually fold one of the third row seat for extra compartment space. I test drove a Suzuki APV, not a lot of frills but its more practical if you consider value for money, although I would get the automatic variant.
