Mas maganda FC ng innova, sa city driving (innoG- 8-11 km/l; MS -6-8 km/l), pero sa mga long drive, halos parehas lang (10-13 km/l).Kung bagong innova bibilhin mo, mas maganda sigurado FC, 4.5yrs old na innova ko, beater car pang palengke etc.
Ang gauge ko, budget ko sa fuel ng innova is P2t every month, sa MS (SE A/T) ay P3.5t every month. 10-25 km daily use (excluding road trips).
Innova, mas matipid ngayon ang PMS kasi sa labas na ng casa ang PMS (out of warranty na)-
Nasa P2t pinaka mahal na ginagastos ko every 5tkm normal PMS (mineral oil).
You have to ask new owners ng innova para sa current cost ng PMS sa casa.
MS naman, nasa P7t-12k kada 5tkm normal PMS (Turbo XP) , Mitsu-Marilao (warranty pa), halos parehas sya ng normal PMS ng GS VGT (Hyundai-Balintawak)
Add-on, insurance, mas mahal insurance ng MS kaysa sa Innova especailly kung may AOG.
Extra cost of ownership, - mas madaling ma over spend sa MS dahil sa dami ng possible at tempting aftermarket mods compared sa innova. (sticker lang yata na "Baby On Board" ng nagastos kong aftermarket mods sa innova ko, ha ha ha)

My vote goes to Crosswind Sportivo
last the longest = check
most fuel efficient = check
guarnateed to last for 10yrs and probably another 20yrs = check![]()
We have an Innova G. No problem so far. I like it better than my in-laws' fortuner.
Isuzu's toughness is proven imo. Sobrang ingay lang. In case yan kunin mo, gamitan mo na lang ng 2t oil or mod mo na lpg o water injection. Meron ata positive effect yun sa emission.

mas maingay ang d4d innova kesa crosswind , nag mumuka mas maingay kasi crosswind tunog truck kasi masyado .
BTT :
kung pinaka durable at efficient crosswind talaga panalo, Kaya lang efficient din manakbo ang 4ja1 , kung feel mo mas modern innova or montero panalo ,at mas safe sila kasi may mga abs at airbag na sila unlike sa crosswind seat belt lang ang safety features. ;-),

Last the longest and fuel efficient? Isuzu Crosswind!There are those with Crosswind's crossing the 300tkms mark and still going strong. Very practical car to have, if you don't mind the sluggish performance, noisy and smoky engine, and jittery ride that is.
For something more modern, I'd go with the Montero. I find the 1.198M price tag very competitive indeed, especially since it is slugging it out with not just base variant SUVs but also MPVs as well.
Mas madali pa rin maintain fluid steering. Bearing lang katapat mo sa electronic steering.
I suggest you look at other criterias aside from being durable and efficient as all the cars mentioned here will surely last for more than 10 years with the proper maintenance. Look also at comfort, practicality, size, bang for the buck features, etc.
I've driven all before and I would place the montero on the top of the list, next yun innova. I do have a soft spot for the everest so i would suggest you take a look at it as well. I don't find the crosswind easy to drive and my friend who has one rattles too much for me and gets pulled over by ASBU despite his more than usual regular maintenance. OC kasi yun eh.
Thank you all for your inputs. They are all enlightening although I keep changingmy choice of vehicle when I read the cons and pros of the recommended vehicles. Lol.
One cannot really expect to find all the qualities he likes in one car alone. I guess it is still the buyer's preference and his expected usage that will count.
