These two vehicles have their respective threads where owners have posted their FC computations. You can use the search function to look for the APV and Avanza threads. AFAIK, they are both in the Diesel Forum. The Avanza should eek out more kms/L. But then again, it is a smaller vehicle with less passenger capacity and payload than the bigger APV. Better to choose one that will fit your usage the best.

Ako ay naka J na Avanza. 1.3 ang engine. DOHC and VVTi ito kay may kalakasan pero matipid.
SLEX ako lagi (almost every day) ang so far 2x na round trip sa NLEX. Sa SLEX 2 or 3 lang kami ang sakay. Wala naman problem sa mga bus or truck sa mabibilis (dahil kasi na mabilis din ako?). Wala akong problem sa control.
Tulad sa mga car, pag super bagal ka or nakahinto, mararamdaman mo ang hangin pag dumaan sila ng mabilis. Pero pag tumatakbo. OK naman. For me hindi sila minus point.
Ang napakalaking advantage ng maliit na sasakya ay sa traffic. Madaling makaliko and madaling isingit.
I may be wrong, I think the APV is heavier than the Avanza. So mas stable ito dahil sa bigat nya.Last edited by meledson; October 10th, 2007 at 11:28 AM.

I own an APV M/T before, then sold it to buy an Avanza 1.3. Both cars have their pluses and minuses. I'm more satisfied with my Avanza in terms of dual aircon blower, fuel consumption and driving with ease. APV is more spacious and better interior. Avanza w/ a 1.3L engine seems more powerful than the 1.6L of APV, maybe because of the body weight. But both are bumpy.

Pag medyo malalaki kayong pamilya (mabigat, matatangkad at more than 5), the APV would be better than the Avanza. Dyahe lang yung walang rear aircon yung APV sa mga GA at GL model ng APV. I think fuel consumption will drive some people off from choosing an APV (hell, I almost looked away); but in the end, I chose comfort for my family kaya APV pinili ko.

I was able to seat 8 adult people comfortably sa Avanza J ko. 2 sa harap, 3 sa middle and 3 sa 3rd row seat. No problem for the engine, pero ramdam mo na loaded ka. Di naman sumayad ang suspension.

Kami naman, we tested out a friend's Avanza on a long road trip. It wasn't comfortable kasi medyo masikip for us, pero manageable. If you have kids, alam mo na madami kayong gamit (lalo na pag may baby) ranging from clothes, toys (bisikleta ba naman ipapadala) and even your own bags. Kaya mabuti at dala ko pamilya ng tumitingin sa showroom ng Suzuki at Toyota. Nothing beats filling that showroom model with those gonna use it and getting info from them pagdating sa space. Pakabit lang rear aircon sa APV na manual transmission, OK na sa kanila.
Isa pang dyahe naman sa APV yung medyo uncomfortable na flooring ng driver's side coz the wheel well mostly eats up the space where the foot pedals are located. Wearing a "bulky" shoe is not adviseable.
