[tubplakz]

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

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.

Regarding the engine, the TCi can manage Baguio without difficulty. I've driven our TCi with more than 10 pax to Baguio from Aritao and also via Marcos Highway and all I can say is it depends on the abilities of the driver more than the engine. In the case of Lui, he's comparing it to the CRDi which has 70% more HP and 73% more torque so it's natural that he finds the TCi "medyo mahina". But as he also mentioned, compare the GS TCi with the Toyota Grandia CRDi and the similarities are only on paper.

Regarding central locking and alarm, I paid almost P14K more than 2 years ago when I got our GS TCi from the casa (Code CA-120 alarm). You can get these cheaper nowadays from your favorite car accessories place.

Agree with GSTM9. I was kind of worried to buy the GS TCi variant as I perceived it to be underpowered, especially with the additional 500Kg weight vs. the Gen3 model.

However, I was pleasantly surprised when I drove our GS TCi A/T in Baguio via Marcos Hiway early this year and in Bitukang Manok in Atimonan, Quezon a few weeks ago. It is not wanting in power. In fact, I like to drive the GS better than our Gen3 TCi A/T as the GS does not manifest any body roll on high speed curves. So, the GS offers me better handling...

Ok naman yung ride pero mas gusto ko yung ride ng lumang Starex namin ('05 GRX TCI A/T), pati yung aircon mas malamig yung sa lumang Starex.
