2007 Hyundai Starex grx crdi AT vs. 2007 Innova G AT Diesel

[willvill]

Which would you choose given a choice between the two? Both are AT diesel with similar mileage. Base your answer on reliability, performance, and comfort.

Starex, it's bigger. But I think both are equal when it comes to comfort.

[yebo]

starex grx can seat 9 adults and have room for a week of luggage, the innova can only fit 7 with very little luggage.

starex has way better ride than innova, matagtag ang innova like it's brother fortuner. i can compare since i have a '07 grx and our company uses an innova to pick me up at the airport in hanoi, sumasakit katawan ko sa innova riding on the second row.

no problems with hyundai crdi, toyota has the d4d problems.

Starex ang pipiliin ko, mas maluwag, mas kumportable sakyan at hindi mukhang AUV ang dating.

Starex din ako... Siguro lamang ng Innova is fuel consumption but that's about it I guess...

[jappy]

starex.
bigger legroom on the 3rd row seats.

Starex for me.

We've owned every gen Starex. We also had an Innova G but sold it in less than a year. The engine knocked out for I don't know why?

Nwei the Starex is almost equal in curbweight to the Innova but it packs more people, luggage, has more torque and has a greater ground clearance. The only downside I saw in the Starex that it's a lil bit more thirstier on the fuel.

I am a former owner of Innova. Reliability of Innova is very poor nag stall ang engine ko. Performance in speed my top speed with my Innova before is 160kph. I'm sure Starex GRX can beat that. Comfort in ride, basing from my recent test drive of GRX it is way better than Innova. Leg room no question about it, GRX is roomier than Innova. Besides Toyota D4D engine is not that reliable. If not stalling, smoke belching or hard starting. If I were you Starex ang pipiliin ko.

Tsaka ang starex parang mas maporma siya. Medyo malakas lang sa gas ang starex ata. But the space.....starex wins

[kevin3000]

starex syempre! malaki siya compare sa innova.. and naalala ko nung nasa sctex kami 2.5G na Hilux D4D tinapatan kami ng Crdi na starex naiwan kami... alam naman natin na pareho ang makina ng hilux at innova
kaya starex na.. if may chance lang na papalita ung sportivo namin gusto ko starex

[welscua]

Starex for me...



SHARING IS CARING.....

I can give comments on my 2007 9-seater Starex GRX M/T , but not on 2007 Innova G AT Diesel or even Starex A/T:

Well... I choose M/T primarily to conserve more on diesel fuel (diskarte na lang kung magtitipid ka o hahataw ka sa highway).

Sa city driving medyo may kahirapan ng konti ang M/T kaysa A/T kasi di maganda ang traffic flow dito sa M.Mla. Hirap apak-apakan ba yung clutch. Pero sa highway.... advantage ang MT lalo na sa overtaking... kahit sa flat, uphill o kaya downhill ... ang sarap diskartehan ang driving.

On 22 April 2009, I go to Cagayaan Valley and go back to Manila on 23 April. Yung intercooler turbo combined with CRDI ang laki ng tulong sa overtaking lalung-lalo na sa zigzag uphill climbing sa bundok ng Sta Fe, Nueva Viscaya.

Ang consumption ko with the distance of 543 km (from Manila-Tuguegarao-Amulong-Tuguegarao including natulog yung mga anak ko na nakatigil at bukas ang aircon for 1.5 hours) ay 9.18 km/li.

Pero nang pauwi naman kami (Tuguegarao-Manila, 485Km) ang consumption ko ay ng 10.11 km/li. Naging matipid siya kasi dire-diretso lang ang travel at isa lang ang stop-over namin, sa San Jose, Nueva Ecija.

Very Good yung riding comfort ng Starex, kasi yung mga passengers ko himbing ang tulog kahit humahataw ako sa rough roads.

Kapag city driving, ang consumption nya ay 6-7 km/li depende sa kundisyon ng traffic.

Over-all maganda ang Starex kung ang pag-uusapan ay gamit pang pamilya. Malamig ang aircon, roomy at comfortable ang pasahero even long distance driving. Isa pa, kaya nya kahit 12 ang pasahero medyo siksikan nga lang kayo sa loob.

Took a GRX AT to Baguio.... did about 8.6 mixed highway/traffic driving... which isn't bad, considering we were going at a good clip on the highway (our AT Crosswind did similar economy... 8.6 mixed, 10 highway on our other Baguio trip).

Only problems I've heard of for the Starex is the AC and the rare AT failure. Other than that, it's not any worse than any other big van out there.

I think that the GRX is a bit too soft, though... over some wavy highway roads, you can develop some seasickness... but it is miles more comfortable than an Innova.

[green_machine]

The Starex will surely be more expensive, but I'm sure it will be way more comfortable and spacious. The Starex then gets my vote.

On a side note, I think the Hi-ace is more comparable to the Starex, as both are vans, whereas the Innova is an AUV.
