I agree with you bro. P50K (at P30/L) translates to about 1667 L of diesel....

At 6Km/L (city driving),- it will be good for 10,000 Km..... Not bad....

For those in a tight budget like me, this is good enough....

if you want the best deal, go to at least four dealers and have them compete on discounts and freebies.

Ah yes, I did'nt realize before that this was a significant amount, at 10,000 kilometers of free fuel, that's like having free fuel for a year! Thanks for pointing that out CVT!

Generally, Mas matipid sa diesel and CRDi, kasi, nakukuha nya agad ang higher Horsepower at a lower RPM. Tsaka mas oks talaga ang CRDi. Sa laki at bigat ng body ng Grand Starex, underpower ka kapag TCi lang engine mo, which is parang 105 to 110 HP lang ata, compared sa 174 hp ng CRDi. Pag medyo 3 years old na engine, malamang mag usok na sya.

JMHO.

That's what I am worried about bro. The additional 500Kg in the Gen4 body (vs. the Gen3) may be a bit challenging on the TCi engine.

However, the difference between the same "general variants" of the TCi and CRDi VGT is about P300K. This is just a bit too much upfront cost...

I agree, essentially, that's 300K for an engine upgrade...

..
That's why, I'm now thinking if a GS with just TCi engine is an OK choice for my kids school "hatid-sundo", and occational twice a year provincial trips..

I'm using a Gen3 CRDi now, and love the power in this engine that I swore never to go back to regular diesel engines again, but the 300K difference makes me think twice...hehe
