Toyota Avanza vs. Suzuki APV

[blackvx]

how long has sir macky owned his APV? usually the heat issue comes out when the vehicle gets older.
when travelling sa highways like SLEX, NLE or star highway, di po ba unstable yung APV cause of it design? would the Avanza have the advantage in this aspect?

[OTEP]

The APV just looks tall due to the greenhouse. But all of the heavy bits are actually mounted very low in the chassis so don't expect the center of gravity to be sky high. The engine itself is lower than in the Avanza's.

which would be more fun to drive kaya specially in the A/T variant. for the speed freak inside you, which would give you more satisfaction. ano kaya ang mas maganda i-set-up? siguradong dadami after market parts and accessories ng avanza. may available after market parts na ba for the APV?

[MAXBUWAYA]

Kakatakot din kasi ang mga no. 1 sa market baka parang honda minamadali sa production nasasacrifice ang quality. Then pag nakatyempo ka ng sira ang hirap iclaim sa warranty dahil sa dami ng cliente.

APV ako.

Most likely, the Avanza will be sportier to drive. Coil spring rear end trumps leaf-spring every time.

I'm seeing more and more Avanzas on the road now. In metallic red? Very very pretty. Make mine a 1.5 MT...

Errr... after riding in an Avanza... I wouldn't call it a sporty drive... more like a nauseous drive. Hehe.

I've also seen some Avanza sporting bodykits... and it is just :suka:

Though the exterior is more palatable than the love it or hate it APV.

Ahhh... so Ranma was right? It is worse than the already-choppy APV? ...But how is it to drive?

The bodykits are definitely :suka:, much like the Shark Innova kits... I prefer the stock looks... already nice and clean.
