^^^at posibleng medyo pricey paclean ng aircon...laging ibaba ang headliner...prone sa laylay and sira clips...

Won't have to take the headliner down during general cleaning if the evaporator is mounted somewhere else, like on the side of cargo area. For flush-mounted vents like that, the ceiling only houses the ducting...my friend's Chevy Tahoe is that way.

Agree with *babanatype. Many suv's already have this configuration for their rear a/c. The blower is not in the ceiling, ducting lang.

My thoughts:
Great car, but the diesel variants are expensive. It doesn't justify the introductory price. Small displacement diesel engine with a manual transmission is significantly more expensive than the bigger displacement gas engine with an automatic transmission?

sablay ang prrice on all variants. kahit ung LS entry variant nila. walang ABS, walang airbags, 1.3L, MT tapos ganun price.

The gas version is the one to buy. Cheaper than the top spec Avanza

the Diesels are way overpriced

[brimstone13]

hope theyd allow a test drive soon enough. it would be good to test the fuel efficiency of the unit first hand. wondering how the 1.5 gas engine would fare with the weight of the mpv

[Newcomer123]

109ps /142Nm for a 1100kg car? Stronger than Innova's diesel.

More than adequate. At least on paper

thats a good thing to know. now i'm more excited to do a test drive. if only the sa's could only reserve me a slot for a test drive.

i'm also wondering what will be the typical pms cost for this unit. hope that by the time the units for sale landed on philippine shores, the dealership could come up with a figure already. im definitely eyeing that 1.5 ltz

Saw the 1.5LTZ at Trinoma kanina.

Even the SA's of nissan and mitsu were checking it out.

Looks like a smaller Orlando. Lower ride height than Avanza.

Parang Nissan Grand Livina.ang dating.

I have a feeling the diesel version is the next airport taxi

Fuel Efficiency: yes
Number of seats: It has a third row, giant luggage space for airport passengers
Size: still pokey in traffic
