Toyota Innova 'J' or Isuzu Crosswind 'XT'

[bongliza]

mga bros, just visited Toyota Alabdang today. The Sales Lady said that the current Innova price now is just introductory. They might be adjusting the price by next month, dami na kasing nakapila. So, if you're planning to buy one, reserve now...otherwise...

[mbt]

innova for me too, fresh design, newer platform

(although there would be a lot of good options on the used-car market too for the price)

[odell]

tatas ang innova.. ganda nga tignan kahit un bare unit :D sulit na sulit

[notEworthy27]

sobrang astig nga! hehe MIVEC pa!

[mbt]

kaya lang parang ang liit ng gulong ng innova hehe, medyo parang Atoz yung proportions :D

[revoGSX]

revo upgraded to larger headlight (around 2001)
adventure upgraded to a much larger headlight (2004)
crosswind also upgraded to a larger headlight (2004/5)

sa innova kaya ano itsura pag i-upgrade nila headlight after ilang years? hmmm.. abot na kaya ng side mirror hehe

[ILuvDetailing]

Ano ba size ng gulong ng innova? is it 205s? dapat lagyan nila ng 16s. tsaka kitang kita yung suspension sa likod parang nakatukod

tingin ko nga parang mga naka 14 inchers lang eh.
dunno ha? and no offense to the innova lovers, but i really don't like the shape and "tayo" ng innova. parang andun pa rin yung kaluluwa ng revo eh.

but back to the question, diba ibang classification naman ang innova and crosswind? the innova, as TPI claims is more on the MPV type, while everyone knows that the Crosswind is on the AUV type. so i guess they are of opposite worlds.

but if i am to choose, i would choose the Crosswind over the Innova. imho.

sir happy..
medyo weird lang talaga yung likod ng innova.. kita yung spare tire at ibang parts sa underchassis... pede naman ng rear skirt para matakpan hehe...

actually.. di ko din gaano type ang exterior ng innova, pero once you see the interior tapos yung power ng engine and all 4 coil springs.. mapapaisip ka rin compared sa mga auvs

totally different vehicle na ang revo at innova.. wala nga ako makitang na-carry from revo to innova (except sa mga switches)..

hamak talaga na mas maporma ang crosswind compared to revo or innova.. halos SUV look na nga ang crosswind..

pero sa ride comfort and acceleration.. ok talaga innova..gusto ko na nga ibenta itong revo ko at palitan ng innova dahil matagtag itong revo hehe..
imho..

[notEworthy27]

parang atoz nga. only longer. :D

I visited Toyota Dasmariñas (Cavite) nung Saturday... para akong bibili ng Innova kasi ininspect ko lahat, gusto ko sanang tignan itsura ng D4D na engine kaso VVTi 'yong display nila.
Pag-upo ko sa driver seat, syet ang ganda ng dating para akong nagda-drive ng space ship. Comfy at ang sarap ng pagkafit ng likod ko sa driver at passenger sit. Pag-upo ko sa second row, medyo parang may bumubukol sa likod ko, 'yong headrest pala, pero natataas naman. Pag-upo ko sa third row, masikip ang legroom, kahit fully pushed forward na 'yong upuan sa third row plus mas bumaba 'yong bumubukol sa likod ko, ('yong headrest sobrang baba na kasi), pero natataas naman. Third row is split fold pala.

One thing that I notice is that mababa ang headroom. Pag-upo ko sa driver seat, siguro mga 3-4 inches na lang ang layo ng ulo ko sa ceiling niya, (height ko is 5-11), so dapat maganda talaga ang suspension otherwise mauuntog ako pagdaan sa lubak or hums (hehehe)... ganundin sa 2nd and 3rd row maliit na lang ang headroom. Kung di smooth ang suspension, seat belt ka na lang para di ka mauntog.

Ang aircon duct niya for 2nd and 3rd row ay sa ceiling nakalagay, 2 on each row. Hindi kaya mahina ang aircon nito during the day 11a-3p? Kasi halos dikit na siya sa roof ang aircon duct kahit papano lalabanan niya ang init from the roof. Maganda naman siguro ang insulation na inilagay nila.

Those items that I just mentioned are things that somebody will get used to it in the long run, so its not a big deal.

I think you can ask your agent toyota to deliver it to you at legaspi city,

kasi my agent said that he personally drive the innova to deliver to his client in norzagaray bulacan.. I dont know lang if he is BLUFFING ME???

[ILuvDetailing]

Congrats on your new ride abmago, please share with us your ave kms/liter.

they cant install daw power windows and central locking system sa J, coz of a cable somthing.

That's a bunch of BS. Maybe they're hoping that you would change your mind and get the "E" variant.

[OTEP]

They can't install power windows because they don't know or are just to lazy to do so.

Even my dad had power windows installed on a 1975 Datsun. And that model didn't even have a variant with OEM power windows!

[cardo]

actually, agents can do that. they will drive the unit and deliver it to your home. my agent at isuzu offered this to me... but i can't let another man drive away my brand new car. baka ibirit nya at ikarera hehehe.

strayWOLF, my ultimate choiced before was crosswind-sportivo. But, when innova was introduced, I was surprisingly attracted to it. The next thing I've known...got my reservation.
What can you conclude when one product is giving promotions like this:

The Sportivo “Drive to Thrill” program offers potential buyers the opportunity to adequately familiarize themselves with the newest innovation in the AUV category. What’s more? All test drivers will automatically be given with a token and an entry coupon for a chance to win a 21” JVC TV (with rack) every month within the duration of the test drive program (January 17 up to May 08).

In my opinion, this promotion is to attract more customers. Perhaps, the sales is not going smoothly. For me, go for innova. In the next few years, you will expect isuzu to stop crosswind & opt for other model to counteract innova.

[Bogeyman]

Oo nga. 'Yung Jeep Cherokee at Rubicon, walang sinabi 'yang mga 'yan kung hindi tested sa Pilipinas. Tsaka hindi lang dapat road conditions, isama na yung everyday driver abuse, para torture test talaga.

[ILuvDetailing]

Hope that they put wider and bigger tires in future models. Parang pang motor yung gulong ang nipis.

[strayWOLF]

I just made my reservation kanina at Toyota for the Innova. Problem ko naman ngayon is whether I'll have Toyota put up the power lock, keyless entry and back up sensor or sa labas ko nlang ipapagawa. Kung sa Toyota ko ba pinagawa ung accessories, is it included sa inssurance? =)
