Van Anyone?

Hindi.. both TCi sila. Nasa tamang break-in at hataw lang at PMS. From 60K km to 170K km PMS, Hyundai E. Rod may hawak nung SVX M/T.

Pinost ko lang yan pic para may maniwala nyahahahaha

Share ko lang.. nung December 25 nagpunta kaming magkakapatid at mga pinsan sa grocery para bumili ng mga iinumin, medyo napapasigaw ako sa loob kasi kinakabayo ko na ang bagal parin hahahaha

O baka nasanay ako mag drive ng R-eVGT :rofl:

Wait... 170k kms?! At wala pang sampung taon yan?

Eh bat yung engine pic may "CRDi" na nakasulat? On a side note nagagandahan parin ako sa face ng Millenium Starex. Timeless talaga.

In terms of look, the smaller eyed SVX units look better than the bug-eyed GRX units. And there are SVX units that have CRDi engines.

To the TS, how much is your budget? You could get 2005 GRX units with the CRDi lump for P500-600K.

I remember a friend back in 2008, when he drove our GRX for the first time. All he knew was that it was more powerful than before, but still looked bland. We took it for a spin in Clark. Ayun, puro mura ang inabot ko... sa tuwa niya. Hehehe! Bigla ba naman naghahanap ng Fortuner. Hamunin daw namin. It may not be as powerful, but it's lighter.

thanks sa mga replies..

my budget is around 300-400T... but then I could get a loan if I need to...

I found a 2006 GRX -Crdi at 680T w/ 70t mileage, manual trans... having 2nd thought kasi starex at times, I will ask my driver to use it.. parang nasasayangan ko..

And at 680T price, I could get a brand new L300 FB na rin..

Btw, I found a 2005 versa van at 330T only.. .relatively cheap as I browsed over the web, most ads of versa van are still being price at 400T up..

The L300 may be cheaper by half as compared to the GRX, but the power it makes is also less by half. 145 horses vs. 73 horses and even worse for the torque! 360N-m vs. 147N-m! The L300 versa van, IMO is too underpowered to take in 12 full sized folks with their stuff out of town. And it might even have a hard time going up parking ramps with that payload let alone steep mountain inclines.

And of course, will you compare how the two look? The L300 is easily twenty years older!

Even if they sell a refreshed GRX now, it will still be mightily competitive in the passenger van market.

Why not a Grandis? Altho medyo pricey pa rin siya, but it is one hell of a looker.

**GTi** · January 7th, 2011 06:18 PM

Its nice, but it also guzzles gas like there's no tomorrow! Now if there was a Grandis Di-D... But then again, the Carnival is leagues better than or at least matches the Grandis whether it be space, modernity, comfort, performance or fuel efficiency.
