    The fuel efficiency of the innova gas will be much lower than with the altis 1.6L. If you want to save money on gas, the altis is the better option. But if you plan to convert the innova to Auto-LPG, the innova can be cheap to fuel up (but you can do the same thing to the Altis).

    imho, in terms of:
    maintenance: both of them would be at par with each other. altis and innova are common as compared to a camry
    fuel efficiency: altis is way better than an innova gas. the altis' body is much lighter and the cabin space is much lesser thus lesser engine load for the aircon
    resale value: i think altis has a better resale value than an innova because the innova is classified as a utility vehicle. also, if you're having hard time selling your altis at a high price, just bring it to cagayan de oro, altis' prices there are high because of the demand

    Depends on your needs. If you do not need the extra seat, definitely better option yung Altis. Ganda pa pormahan.
    Fasten your seatbelt! Or else... Driven To Thrill!

    In my opinion, it depends if you need the cargo space and/or extra people carrying capacity. If so, Innova. If not, Altis. Yes, the Altis will probably be less bare and will have a bit more creature comforts, but somehow these can be added-on. What you won't have is that extra row or the cargo space.

    IMO it all depends on your needs chief! being an innova owner I will be biased! When it comes to durability and moving more people (i.e out of town trips, family gatherings or just the usual breakfast w/ your loved ones) I'll definitely go for the Innova because of roominess and dependability. However if you're the yuppie (young pro) type, single and willing to mingle, and daily routine will be spent mostly on city driving, going to and off work and space is not that much of a concern, then, obviously, "Altis" is the definite choice.

    in my opinion, it just about evens out between these two. the real question is, what do you want from your ride in terms of performance and function? i prefer my innova, because it floods frequently in my place, and i need large luggage space. but i envy the altis drivers when it comes to driving ease and comfort..

    I have yet to see an Innova J model w/ power features (doorlocks, windows, etc..). (e di Innova E na yun!) Better confirm this w/ the SA chief kung meron nga lalabas na bagong Innova J w/ power features to help you in making a decision. Just be aware and perhaps search more because most of the time they (SA's) tend to "sugar coat" things for a sales pitch!
