Family Van dilemma

**Ungas** · August 24th, 2003 08:47 AM

I have read some previous topics about various types of vans out there. Dad asked me what is the next best thing if he plans ot dispose the '98 Starex van. Preferrably diesel engine with lots of power and best interior and capacity size. Vehicle height can be an added feature. Oh, one more thing, it should not have a 1M price tag.

Naku sasabihin ko pa naman Starex Limousine. Hehehe.

Kailangan ba brand new?

The New Space gear perhaps?

How about the Nissan Serena? ... although its gasoline powered, the SR20DE engine is powerful enough.

Yup! Ok Nissan Escapade.

Yung Super Grandia definitely more than 1 M. Hindi lang ako sigurado sa sumunod na Grandia model.

Kung less then 1M, brand new, i'd go with the Urvan Escapade or Nissan Serena m/t (just remove the rearmost side facing seats for more interior room and luggage space).

How much is brand new Starex SVX now?

my vote goes to nissan escapade... serena.. maliit.

Kahit na po 2nd hand basta maalaga ang owner or driver. Gusto ko kasi yung upuan ng 2nd and 3rd row ng Starex. Hindi matigas at masakit sa long drives. Lalo na maraming seat variations pwedeng gawin.

Yun bang bagong Nissan Urvan Estate is big interms of size, but passenger comfort is not the same especially with those common seat formation. And another thing, the semi-flat nose will be difficult for the driver to estimate its blind corners, same as with our current Starex 9 seater SVX model.

I believe the new Space Gear model for 2003 has a gas driven engine. I'd like to remain with the diesel format for economical reasons.

Thanks for your inputs guys! I need more choices... I was in a blank state when he asked me what is the next best thing to Starex interms of interor space and engine performance.
