    Innova user here. definitely better than the Avanza in terms of engine and space kaya di ka magsisisi for Innova Tipid pa nyan since its a DSL.

    Innova because of the size and diesel engine. Since you're buying pre loved im guessing malaki pa matitipid mo pa sa fuel costs immediately. Perfect pa more space for your family. Just make sure alaga at well maintained yun unit innova.

    thanks sa mga input mga sir.

    im leaning towards innova.

    major concern lang din tlga yung pagtingin ng unit. since diesel siya mas maselan dapat? tama po ba? or it is just a myth? any tips mga sir

    buying second hand is always a gamble, whether it's avanza or innova, diesel or gas.

    but i like to think that a diesel engine is more robustly built than a gas engine, and will probably stand up to rugged use, better.
    the innova body is of the toyota ims platform (think, fortuner and hi lux pick up). to me, this means, a stronger body and suspension.

    and the innova diesel fuel costs, will run rings around the avanza's, what with the cheaper diesel fuel versus more expensive gasoline.

    if you don't mind the larger body and the taller floor (senior citizens!), go innova diesel.
    "wala pa akong nakikilalang nagsisi dahil innova ang pinili niya."

    i'm a sucker in buying used cars.
    but i like to think, that the private car owner-seller is usually more honest than the bayan seller, and may agree to discount his price, compared to the guy who makes a living by selling cars.
