    Gud day!
    We are planning to by an 2nd hand AUV, the choice is the Revo or the Adventure mga 1999-2001 model lng...dun lng pasok un budget.

    if Revo po,kahit gas or diesel,basta M/T,anu model po maganda? GLX, DLX, or GL?

    THANKS IN ADVANCE! & GODBLESS!

    Revo. You get a more spacious interior and a better engine. If your budget allows, better kung diesel kunin para matipid sa krudo at tatagal ng husto. Pinakamaganda makahanap kayo ng SR diesel para mas di mukhang matanda. Otherwise, GLX diesel offers the same level of equipment.

    Sport Runner variant (1999-2001) does not have a diesel engine. Best bet is the GLX Diesel.

    Avoid the 1.8 Automatic though

    That's odd. I have seen quite a few 1st generation Sport Runner diesels around. They are quite few, but there are, AFAIK. As in talagang SR diesel yung nakasulat sa likod. Converted GLX diesels kaya mga yan?

    Anyway, 1st gen Revo GLX diesel owner here. I'd say that this most certainly isn't a fast car (our family members have reported speeds of 130km/h and that it still has some more to give) but its mightily dependable and thrifty. Ours has gone as far up as Aparri, Cagayan without a fuss, gets more or less 9km/L heavy footed city mileage, has acceptable ride quality and is really easy to drive. Its really good at flood wading too. I've once accidentally got into hood deep waters, but it still got through.

    Baka yung mga Sport Runner diesels are the ones from late 2002-2005. Baka naman mga converted ones

    *GTi-Hehe. Oo nga no. Hindi ko nakita yun ah.

    *Topic-I would pick Revo because of its size and engine.

    Revo na gas? Hmm. Based on experience, malakas siya kumain ng gas. Pero kung kaya ng budget ang diesel, mas maganda sana.

    Yung SR na gas engine is a 94hp 1.8L 8V unit. This means it lacks power. Hell the 1.4L Kia Rio's engine makes 94hp. And since its heavy, it also means horrid fuel consumption. The VX200 uses a 105hp 2.0L 8V unit. This one's actually rather torquey and achieves peak power in low rpm, so acceleration should be fair enough. But still, its a weak 2.0L gasoline engine which means gas consumption ain't very good either. If you're getting the gas, might as well get the Adventure whose 4G63 is a much better performer.

    So, diesel talaga sana. The gas mileage is much better.

    Revo, just pick only from GLX, GSX, SR (Sport Runner) or VX variant (if GLX, get the one which has a body cladding para SR, VX look-alike, and it's more brawnerlook of an entry-level revo) halos parehas na lang ang resale price ngayon niyan sa market, avoid DLX and GL, walang power-mirrors at boring ang cabin, saka yun DLX walang tachometer and some GL variant don't have foglights.BTW stay away from automatic tranny Revo.

    we have a Revo GL 1.8efi M/T. it's maintenance wise (timing chain e), malamig ang aircon (malamig naman talaga ang aircon hehehe!!!, malakas din aircon i mean), pangit lang pang city driving (traffic driving condition) malakas sa gazzzzz., bit high ground clearance kaya pwedeng ilusong-lusong sa baha (wag naman yung napakataas na baha, yung tama lang).Power, ok lang kahit 89hp lang siya, kaya naman sumabay sa takbuhan on the expressways e,

    Yes, I remember once we had a family friend who owns a Revo GLX 1.8EFI A/T. Sabay kaming bumaba from Baguio City. Kaya rin naman pala bumilis kapag todong flogging na talaga. Di ko lang nga alam gaano karami ininom na gasolina noon.

    *TS: Magkano yung budget mo? Diesel Revo's have relatively high resale values. Around 300k for the 1st generation GLX.

    Meron akong 2004 2.0EFi A/T na Revo. Mabilis sa mabilis. Tested at 150kph along SLEX, may ibubuga pa.

    Malamig ang aircon ( well maintained naman kasi ) madaling dalhin pero medyo matagtag yung 3rd row.

    And malakas sa gas, obviously. Pero kaya ko naman.

    Anyways going back, Revo ako.

    Ang number one advantage ng revo over the adventure ay roomier interior which is convertible into a more comfortable ride. That's why I have chosen to buy a second hand revo (eto lang kaya ng budget) over a 2nd hand adventure. Pag pipili ka ng revo, choose the SR or VX 200 Variants, all power mga yan at very elegant ang inetrior. Yung SR, you can choose either the 1.8 EFI or the 2.0 EFI engines, or the Diesel Engine. I have read from other threads that the Gas Version of Adventure has FC ranging from 4 km/L to 6 km/L which is far worse than the FC of Revo gas engines. Mine is a 2.0 gas revo engine making more or less 7.0 km/liter on city driving. Di ko pa nasubukan FC nya sa highways kasi last June ko lang nabili at di fo pa nasubukan pauwi ng Pangsinan. In terms of maintenance, parang toyota car lang din ang maintenance nya, which means halos parehas lang presyo ng parts nila. Mas mura pa nga shock absorbers nye kesa sa catr ko (nagcanvas lang ako para malaman ko presyo ng mga parts, toyota din kasi ung car ko 1990 model). In terms of power, talo daw sya ng specifications na nasa papel but in terms of actual performance, napakalakas nya humatak at mabilis sya, at 110 sa Coastal (short expressway lang kasi coastal) napakatahimik ng engine nya, not to mention A/T ang nabili ko.
