So, mas mabuti pang wag na muna ibenta at palitan?

my vote goes for the Nissan Serena and urvan escapade...

the hiace grandia, urvan estate and the spacegear gas and diesel version costs more than a Million pesos.

palitan na yang starex. hehe!
get an Urvan. ok yan. may ganyan family namin ginagawang school bus para sa mga kapatid ko.

Apologies for the price correction peeps, I didn't notice that most vans nowadays have more than 1M on their price tags. Maybe we could up the ante a bit more to 1.5M

Gas or Diesel engine is an option as long as the engine is not that strained for the whole vehicle weight. But what we really want is the interior space and passenger comfort from the seats.

2nd query: How does gas engine fare with bigger body frames?

mbt::: Would it be too much to ask if we could audition from your Chevy Venture?

:thanx:

in that case super grandia. 3.0l powerful engine, coil spring rear suspension, nice chairs, powerful brakes.

ayaw ko ng vans na nasa ilalim ng driver seat ang engine
dehado ka in case of front collision
and mainit sa puwet, maingay.

buti pa starex, space gear.

baka pwede i-consider ang carnival?

powerful 2.9l tdic,flexible & comfy configuration, (semi)car-like handling & ride, looks w/c are definitley better than those fridge's-on-wheels they call vans....my biased opinion, of course, being a relatively recent (happy) carnival owner :D

Here are some rounded up units from tsikot peeps:
- Nissan Urvan Estate (Escapade lower grade variant)
- Kia Carnival/Sedona
- Nissan Serena
- Toyota Grandia 3.0L
- Mitsubishi Space Gear
- Hyundai Starex Limousine (Starex again?, hehehe)

Anyone got ideas or recommendations from our US made counterparts?
- Chevy Venture
- What else?

Dagdag mo ang veture, very comfy. di ko alam price tag. The new space gear is pretty nice too. So is the E150 for space and comfort. can't say much, puro 1 week tests lang ang binibigay sakin. As for driving an E150, it doesn't feel like its size. or baka nasanay na ako kay BUbbles.
