Innova gas or diesel for the second time

[jaymd]

yun gas innova hirap sa baguio as in gapang sa matarik na inclines. fc namin is around 6.5-7 kms per liter. pero sa city n highway swabe sya. and as posted before walang sakit ng ulo sa maintenance. change oil lang tsaka plugs ayos palagi. teka nagka gas tank issue pala yun amin palit naman ng toyota under warranty

Automatic ka o manual?

Same experience here. The M/T gas really struggles on steep inclines especially when loaded. Katakot nga pag full stop and on incline. Parang aatras with konting nginig pero di naman, have to turn off the aircon for added power. However, the car is really worry free, low maintainance and solidly built (2008 model). Sold it and replaced with D4D A/T. I was pleasantly surprised how effortless it takes the steep inclines (fully loaded with aircon on) and even accelerates while navigating portions of marcos hiway where the gas would run out of breath.Acceleration on long stretches is also good and never felt lacking.The good thing about the A/T is the sudden burst of speed between 80 - 120 kph which is the usual overtaking speed you need in real road scenario( hindi ka mabibitin ).At 100kph, the rpm hovers at 2000 compared to manual diesel at 3000 which translate to less noise.It begins to loose steam beyond 140kph and tops out at 160 kph(the gas version at 170 kph- very boomy noise at this speed).Downside would be the noise and minor vibrations which are absent in the gas.Also note that staying above 100kph,gas consumption significantly increases compared to the diesel.

siguro paps malaking tulong yung mga throttle controller (Sprint booster, E-shadow, etc...) sa mga naka Innova Gas, nakapag test drive din kasi ako ng Innova Gas dati (2nd Gen), napansin ko na yung delay sa accelerator pedal ay nakaka "hesitate" ng makina kaya nandun yung feeling na parang hindi maganda yung intial torque ng mga Innova Gas

pero overall, walang talo sa Innova, mapa Gasoline o Diesel variant pa.

Paps, yung 8km/l mo I bet that is for a city drive, heavy to medium traffic or stop and go destinations na short trips? Kasi sa akin rin ganyan, 800 meters x 4 per day around 7.5 to 8 km/l yan, pero kapag highway staight run, say south luzon trips, it gives around 14 km/l.

Halos same tayo although d4d sa amin. Daily travel ng innova namin maikli lang. 2-5 kms lng kaya 8km/l lng. Pag long drive 14-15km/l.

Ako nga paps, talagang short stint lang hehehe... di pa umiinit ang makina masyad, engine off na agad, di ko nga alam kung nasa practical side pa ginagawa ko hehehe...

Mas maganda kasi kapag nagclaim ng mileage run, ung consistent na city at anung klase na city driving..

800 meters x 4 per day for 30 days, 7.5 km/l Shell V Power Nitro.. Yung FX na 2C nga na 10km per liter sa 2km x 2 per day for 30 days, ngayun sa 800 meters per day for 30days eh nasa 8.5 km/l na lang..

Hi.. is that a d4d mt or at?

[dr. d]

I have an Innova VVT-i in my office as my service. 1st owned. That thing is almost maintenance free. Oil change lang not even the spark plugs are replaced often pero same pa din takbo. 95tkms, still running on original clutch, original fuel filter, original radiator coolant from Toyota (red liquid), spark plug changed twice palang, gear oil replaced once, etc. Could run 170-180kph. I take it anywhere, walang katakot takot na may masisira (although nagpalit nako cooling coil ng AC, that's about it). Last time may nag vibrate akala ko kung ano na, hindi lang pala na-lock ng maigi lagayan ng air filter (after that OK na). Consumes 8km/l, but I frequently travel alone naman. It has thread the whole of Luzon already. Very durable car. I don't know if the much more fuel efficient D4d is about as cheap to maintain cos it has turbo, CRDi with very delicate injectors etc.

my d4d MT does at least 10 km/li in the city. its turbo, CRDI and injectors are 95T Km old, and haven't given me any trouble yet.
perhaps the only "problem" it has given me, is the sidewalk emissions test person, who insisted i have my emissions certificate renewed every 3 months. (Bwahahaha...!)
i suppose the innova has been good to both you and me..

OT. Under the law, he is right and we are all violators after three months of our emission tests hehehe

talaga? i didn't know that...
can you direct me to the appropriate law?
thanks.

Even my 1.5g vios has that throttle lag, its just not that noticeable on automatic versions

[EQAddict]

Diesel innova for me. Rode one yesterday. A J manual model. Was never short of power for city driving.

Sa laki at bigat ng Innova, esp kung kargado, diesel dapat. Kawawa ang 2l gas engine, bigyan ka lang 6-7 nyan

[crave]

I'll choose an Innova E/J D4-D anytime since I'm sure it will last longer than the cheapest Sorento.

^ +1. bakit hindi pa G sir?

I will get the diesel, if the price of the 2nd is around 350k like the VVTi that I got for 270k hehehehe...

sir VVTI2 , ano na yong condition ng unit nyo nong kinuha nyo?? milage? ilang years na bago nyo kinuha? model?.. then anong mga problema na encounter nyo sa secondhand unit? sa ngayon ok padin ba t ilang years na?? TIA

[homhomnova]

As much as possible, avoid the Innova. The diesel is pitifully weak, while the gas also lacks in power for a 2.0. You are also not getting enough what you pay for. Imagine when you buy the V top model, it is as expensive as a Kia Sorento. You would undoubtedly buy the Sorento instead.

Lack of power pa ba sayo sir ang 180kph?

personally ako normal kong takbo sa highway 100-160kph.. d na lang kaya ng dibdib ko yung 180kph pero alam ko marami na dito gumawa ng 180kph..

tsaka kung kasing presyo ng Innova ang Sorento bakit pa isa isa lang ang nakikita kong Sorento sa kalsada? Minsan nga wala pa akong nakikita pagpapunta at pauwi ako galing office.. mas marami pa akong nakikitang subaru kesa sorento..

[blank check]

Wala akong innova pero i don't bash them as if i experienced owning one. ;) to be on topic, i won't be in the market for diesels if i were to buy one.
