which will be more comfortable and spacious between the 2? it's for my sister not mine and she doesn't want a grey market starex. please keep it between this 2 cars since she only wants either the gold premium or odyssey. it'll be driver driven 100% of the time and fuel consumption is not an issue. she was already set on getting the starex but just saw today that the new odyssey is already available for the same price.

March 4th, 2015 09:30 PM #3Honda Odyssey is the better choice. Hyundai Starex isn't even in the same league.

March 4th, 2015 09:34 PM #4only thing she worries about is the reliability and parts availability incase something needs to be replaced. starex kasi subok na plus readily available mga parts. also the space of the starex is better ba than the odyssey?

March 4th, 2015 10:22 PM #6I'd go with the odyssey even if it only seats eight
TH rear luggage is more bigger than the starex's
and it is more comfortable to ride in the odyessey than the starex
Leaf spring to coilspring

March 5th, 2015 10:23 AM #11Odyssey. As good as Korean cars are now these days, they still really haven't exactly reached the level of some of the Japanese brands with reputations for reliability yet in my opinion, based on stories by 2 different Starex owners I know of having similar situations of small things breaking down one-by-one in their vans as time goes on. Plus, dealers would make you jump through hoops of fire to claim anything under warranty, so don't factor the 5-year warranty as something superior.

March 5th, 2015 12:08 PM #12Saw the Odyssey in the flesh kanina sa Honda Libis, ang ganda! And its senior friendly, tamang tama yung step in height nya for senior people na hirap na sumampa sa mga matataas na sasakyan. Seriously considering one for my parents if and when they decide to replace their Grand Starex.

March 5th, 2015 12:29 PM #13Not sure about the space difference between the two but I'm betting the GS has more vertical space at least. I also prefer the Odyssey. A lot less common, better looking and better build quality. The 2.4L might be slow when loaded though.

March 5th, 2015 01:15 PM #14it's going to be driven mostly in the city lang naman so power isn't really that big of an issue.
*jave: it's not just about the reliability but also the parts availability. my friends cr-v got rear ended and honda took 2 months just to replace the bumper. this will be my sister's only car so incase something needs to be replaced she can't wait weeks or even months just to have it repaired.

March 5th, 2015 05:32 PM #17Just read the article re: Odyssey launch from Inquirer.net. 3rd row of the Odyssey folds flat. Really flat as in floor level if the pictures are right. Looks like it wins the (usable) space department. Just looks a little tight width-wise at 1800mm.

Point. Though I don't really have a lot of confidence in Hyundai dealers when it comes to parts, too, based on the horror stories I've been hearing from said Starex owners I know. Unless we're talking about Banawe and the like.
