My aunt-in-law had a Pregio. Based sa experience, laging nasisira ang aircon. Tapos, mainit sa likod kapag middle of the day na. Fuel consumption, okay naman daw. Yung ride, dun sa van nya dati medyo stiff. The engine tended to overheat so they had to change the radiator. It had a built-in TV that was installed sa roof, but it was so far back that the front passenger would not be able to watch the movie. In addition, the screen was so small that it was only the middle passengers that could watch the movie.
Nissan (Escapade), ang naging problems were the front wheels. Laging napupudpod. Based on their queries sa Nissan, sakit daw ng Escapade 'to. I told them to replace the front shocks, which were fluid types, with gas shocks. So far, the 'pudpod' problem has been solved. Okay din ang fuel consumption. The ride is okay. Airconditioner is okay, kaya lang medyo mainit din sa likod during the middle of the day.
Toyota (commuter), masyadong mallit ang leg-room at stiff ang cabin seats. Wala pang head-rest. It also tends to get warm sa likod during the middle of the day. Fuel consumption is okay. The ride is okay also. Yung Super Grandia, luxirious ang loob kaya lang, IMO, magastos sa krudo. Pero ang trade-off naman eh excellent ride overall. Aircon malamig, kahit sa likod.

March 30th, 2005 12:50 PM #5I would suggest to consider the 2005 Toyota Hi-ace Commuter. Better build quality, lower maintenance, more service centers, and better resale value. Di ka rin nakasave with a Kia Pregio.

March 30th, 2005 03:08 PM #6One of my uncles and an officemate of mine have had nothing good to say about their Pregios. As the others have stated the most common (and always recurring) problem with this vehicle is the airconditioning system. My uncle's unit also needed to be overhauled after less than a year and a half of use.
Personally I would consider alternatives. Yes the price is affordable but the potential problems are just not worth it.
