Hmm regarding the AC sir I beg to disagree.peace tayo hehe(for this Hiace GL or SG cause they have AC vents upto the last row).about naman sa handling sa curve, I agree taas dalawang kamay sama mo na paa haha planted yung ride sa twisty roads.

TCi ba walang aircon vents up to last row? Sa akin VGT meron kasi.

Btt: tci ung na test drive ko sa tito ko noon bago kami kumuha ng Starex. Nung una plano namin na tci lang but we end up getting CVX

Sa handling, parang kotse lang dala mo. No quarters given kung mga altis lang at civic kasabayan mo sa hiway man o sa city. Madali isingit (syempre nasa nagdradrive din) pero my wife does not find any difference driving the gs from her sorento or from our previous lancer. Sa una medyo maninibago ka kasi ang lapad pero pag sanay ka na ang daling pumina sa masikip. Also malaki side mirrors so kuha lahat. Palagyan mo lang underview mirror or rear camera para dika nagaalangan pag atras.

Another difference between tci and vgt is that the 3rd row on the tci does not slide, naka fix siya sa floor. Problema ito ng friend ko sa tci nya, di flexible. Bench seat din ang 2nd row, walang folding middle seat so kelangan talaga slide forward ang 2nd row kung may gagamit ng 3rd row.

Yes, the GS does not have pronounced body roll when going through fast speed curves,- unlike the previous [bug-eyed] model.

May AC vents up to the 3rd (last) row ang TCI,- nasa tagliran nga lang.....

Agree. I am only doing 6-7 Km/L city driving and about 7.5-8.5Km/L hiway driving on our TCI A/T....

Pero kung si bro.yebo ang kasabay mo sa pag-akyat,- lalamon ka lang ng alikabok,- kaya magpaiwan ka na.... :hysterical:

Sabi kasi ng SA sa hyundai sta rosa wala na raw 2016 TCI a/t but di ko sure if she was right.

That is why I did not buy the VGT model,- because of such huge jump in cost.

At an average of 6Km/L for TCI and 8Km/L for VGT and diesel fuel at P26/L; assuming price difference between VGT and TCI is at P300,000

You will need to travel approx 277,000 Km to recoup the cost difference in terms of fuel consumption.

This is arguable as of course the resale price of the VGT is higher than the TCI for x% of the difference in cost. And of course, the VGT model has better drive and features.

So far, our TCI is only at 35KKm...

^^^ palitan mo na yan, bilhin mo na vgt ko hehehe! presyong kapatid sa inc (+10% hahaha).

**CVT** · September 8th, 2015 09:27 AM

Oo nga Kapatid!,- pero 35KKm pa lang natatakbo ng TCi ko e....

Also mulling on the new Everest,- but not the TOTL model (tyani ako e...

)....

Most probably the Trend (mid model ito, right?),- but I hate the black door handles kasi....

Ang tagal kasi ng new Fortuner e.....
