Ano ba diff sa tci over vgt?

TCI is lik the 2.5 D4D of toyota without variable geometry turbo

that spits out a 101/102 hp , while in the other hand the VGT

is the like the the counterpart of Mitsubishi's 4d56 with VGT

that produces 174 hp

Which model ang fixed ang seats? The Gold model is HARI,is it 10 seater? are the seats fixed meaning not sliding? How would you determine the gray market from the local models? Which would you recommend?

The GOLD has Captain seats it can swivel
all VGT starex have seats that can be swiveled except for
the 12 seater
The gray market have variant called CVX and HVX

I would recommend the gray market because it
has more features like sunroof ,auto sliding door
etc.

Bro.,- trust me,- you don't want to be in that state..... Been there twice on the previous gen(bug-eyed) and this gen(GS), and the experiences were not pleasant....

If it drives well to your satisfaction and comfort, if the amenities are to your taste and if the price fits your budget,- then go for it!

When it comes to the following below, which is better

Performance
Maintenance cost
Comfort

Miles apart ang performance ng vgt a/t vs tci a/t. 102 hp vs 174 hp, that is 70% more power when you need it. I've had both a 2008 grx, 2011 gs and my current 2019 gs. I've driven many times my friend's gs tci at. The tci a/t does not even come close to the performance of the grx.

Also since it is for business i assume you will load it up. Better siguro kung tci manual instead of a/t. Especially kung hindi naman ikaw ang driver.

Maintenance cost syempre lower ang tci, but only for the engine. Other aspects of maintenance - tranny, suspension, steering same lang yan.

Comfort a tad different. Hindi sliding ang 3rd row seats. Yan laging complaint ng friend ko, sayang daw yung space behind the 3rd row.
