**tubplakz** · May 31st, 2010 08:05 PM

Hi peeps,

Im planning to get this cool ride next month. Can you please give me some review for this ride. Was it all worth my bucks?

Engine, ride , after market parts, performance, interior and exterior.

Good and bad review are very much appreciated.

Thanks...

engine ng grand starex tci is ok kung city driving. sa pataas like baguio medyo mahihirapan sya pero sure na aakyat. sa ride ok sya hindi naman matagtag. malamig din A/C.

ang ayoko lang dito is wala pa syang central lock na kasama

overall ok yung ride. regarding engine ok sya. mas malakas pa po sya sa urvan, L300 etc. on paper kasing lakas po sya ng super grandia. mas madalas lang po siguro ako makagamet ng crdi variant kaya paang ang hina ng makina ng tci (102hp vs 174hp)... antay din naten ung iba mag comment sir kasi baka bias nako bec i sell this van

ung centra lock pde naman po ipagawa medyo mahal nga lang. nasa 10k ata kasama alarm

Engine: Ok naman ang engine nya. Mas maganda daw response nito than the previous TCi Starex kasi yung new TCi engine may computer box na. Syempre pag dating sa akyatan tulad ng sabi ni lui, medyo hirap kasi ang laki at mabigat ang kaha. Lalo na kung puno kayo.

Ride: Kahit kailan masarap sakyan ang Grand Starex, very comfortable.

After market parts: May plano ka ba i set-up ito? Siguro ang dapat mo lang bilihin sa labas ay Horns, Fog Lights, Central lock with Keyless entry & alarm (Winterpine magaling gumawa).

Interior: Maluwag.

Exterior: Iisa lang naman body ng Grand Starex, pero syempre medyo iba ng konti itsura nung VGT kasi may mga garnish at yung Gold may spoiler pa.

on paper kasing lakas po sya ng super grandia.

Tama. Pero mas malakas humatak yung Super Grandia dahil sa Torque at CRDi din kasi sya

Bad comments: nothing.

Given the gargantum external bulk of the grand starex, I was expecting a spacious interior but it turns our to be quite cramped. It felt like a ladder frame chassis (I think it is-correct me if I'm wrong) wherein almost all the useable floor space is lost.
