Toyota Innova 'J' or Isuzu Crosswind 'XT'

[niky]

Forgive my ignorance but isn't the XTi the next version of the XTO?

Yeah, but the Crosswind series where the XTO was the "top" model was, and still is, more comfortable to ride and drive than the XUV series vehicles that followed it.

Absolutely Innova... Crosswind is always the favorite of the anti-smoke belching boys, wala kang ligtas everytime you pass South Super highway papunta sa Magallanes. They will stop you, and of course you will never pass the test. Crosswind Interior is slightly more improved than the jeepneys. If you are a jeepney driver before, then will not find it hard to adapt to driving a Crosswind dahil halos pareho ang suspension(matigas, matagtag) and the rattle of the engine makes you feel sick after you got down from the crosswind, tendency you will grab a roll of toilet paper and do your thing in the CR. Crosswind is good as a fat reducing vehicle. No offense to Crosswind owners, I'm also a Crosswind owner now, regret for having bought it last year. I still prefer my Innova G D4D. Peace to you all...

hurt naman ako hu hu hu! parang nakalamang lang ng isang paligo yong crosswind ko sa jeepney byahing quiapo ah! joke lang!
ako crosswind. bakit? nag-outing kami lately ng barkada ko sa laguna. ang karga ng innova "v" nya wife nya lang, sa crosswind ko, full setting capacity. pero mas maganda i-drive pag mabigat ang crosswind he he he. designed yong suspension sa ganoon. anyway, ang issue ay hindi sa kargahan. noong pauwi na kami, problema innova nya kasi nag-cho-choke. narinig ko dati yong issue na yan pero di naman ako naniniwala until i witnessed my friend struggling with his choking engine. i ask him kung lagi itong nangyayari. well sabi nya every morning daw ganoon. once na maiinit na daw ang makina e ok na raw for the rest of the day... well sometimes, sumasablay pa rin. i told him to bring the issue sa toyota. imagine over 4000 kilometers pa lang ang tinakbo ng innova? di gusto ng d4d yong diesel dito sa pinas.
3 years na yong crosswind ko, lagi naman akong dumadaan sa south super highway, so far hindi pa naman ako hinuhuli. at so far pasa naman sa emmision test.....haaay, nailabas ko rin yong sama ng loob ko...again joke!

OK, i think i will get Innova. muntik ko na mabili yung Sportivo on the last minute i found out na poor yung safety ng Sportivo, No AirBagSystem unlike Innova

OK, i think i will get Innova. muntik ko na mabili yung Sportivo on the last minute i found out na poor yung safety ng Sportivo, No AirBagSystem unlike Innova

Looks like this thread is a PRO-INNOVA thread. However, considering the D4D issues recently reported (fuel filter, pump, injectors), ganun pa rin ba ang sentimiento?

Im considering getting a second hand Innova MT Diesel but the d4d woes are making me worried.

I have a '06 sportivo, and so far wala naman akong naging problem sa mga smoke belching boys, mapa EDSA or SSH man. kahit nman po anong diesel na sasakyan ang kunin nyo, it'll all boil down on how you take care of your ride.

We also have a fortuner w/ a D4D engine(same lang ba 'to sa Innova?) so far we haven't encountered any choking problems, 3yrs old na din yung fortuner namin

Guys, I need your opinions and suggestions on which of these two autos are better.
I only have a limited budget/time so.. I'm stuck with these two choices.
The Innova J is 20thou cheaper than the Crosswind XT, and the XT comes with power lock and power window. I've already talked with an isuzu agent and he's finalizing some other bonuses if I decided to get the XT. But I kinda like the Innova cuz it's new
What do you guys think? I'm not really good at engines and stuff so I don't know what to decide. My dad said something about a direct-injection diesel on the XT.... I dunno.. please advise...

It seems Innova is accident prone (disgrasyada). Ive seen a lot of Innova na yupi ang tagiliran, yupi ang pwet hay ang sagwa tingnan. Saka nawalan ng prestige ang porma ng Innova kasi ginagamit rin itong service vehicle ng government personnel at karamihan mga gasgas at bungi-bungi na ang histsura. Whereas wala pa akong nakikitang crosswind na yupi ang kaha na tumatakbo. Smart parin tingnan. Di gaya ng Innova na mukhang "dumalaga"

i read somewhere in this thread, but the bumpers of the crosswind madaling masira at mayupi pag naaksidente.

^Same din naman sa crosswind NEWcarlover

[foresterx]

i have both innova j and crosswind xt as company car, i like the xt better than the j because it has more room and it is more comfortable and more reliable than the j. also mas matipid sa fuel since diesel.
