May 28th, 2014 05:30 PM #12BTW, for those who have watched today's Eat Bulaga Jose Manalo was being makulit and 'threw' himself to the bonnet of a Hiace. Nag dent agad sya. As in lumubog talaga. Halos sabay2x nga kami na nanood na nag comment na ang lambot naman pala ng nguso ng HiAce. Nasa Youtube na siguro ang episode ng Eat Bulaga today kaya kung gusto nya makita gaano ka lambot ang bonnet ng HiACe panoorin nyo ginawa ni Jose Manalo.
On a side note this also reminded me of a Starex whose A/C was being serviced in an aircon specialist store. Nilabas nila yung front bumper. Marami rin silang mga panels sa interior na kailangan buksan para i-expose yung mga wiring or siguro yung daanan ng A/C pipings. Halos i-dismantle nila ang interior para lang i-expose. Parang papel lang sa gaang yung front bumper. Grabe, nagulat ako. It reminded me of a prop boulder stone in plays where you can just carry the whole thing it in a single hand. Sabi ko nga sa sarili ko kung nandun siguro yung 3 y.o. niece ko siguro kaya nya buhatin yun magisa.
Yun lang. FYI lang. Di ko alam kung sa Nissan Urvan ganun din.

May 28th, 2014 07:46 PM #141. Hiace. Modern commonrail turbocharged engine versus old school non-turbo of the Urvan.
2. Nakalimutan ko, yung rear air vents ba ng Hiace sa 2nd row lang, o umaabot hanggang likod? Yung sa Urvan malamig nga pero minsan yung likod hindi naaabutan ng hangin.
3. Hiace. Again, modern engine trumps old school rotary type fuel injection. The difference will be quite clear when you're climbing Baguio, where the extra power is much appreciated. Old school diesels may be fuel efficient on a flat surface, but they become very thirsty on the slopes where you have to rev much harder.
4. Routine maintenance, hindi naman nagkakalayo kapag nagpagawa sa labas. Pero kapag mga high tech electronic components nasira sa Hiace, medyo mahal ang piyesa.
5. Pwede naman. But the Commuter is already quite uncomfortable as it is...
6. Since nasa may bundok ka lagi, Hiace nalang. You will appreciate the extra power. Just see if you can soften the ride, especially at the rear. Nauseous passengers can be a big headache.

The word Baguio will make the difference here. All UV express from Nueva Ecija, Baguio, Tarlac usually take Kennon Road, based on what i have seen when going to and coming from Baguio.
1. Commuter
2. Urvan, usually UV express add a blower at the back, whether urvan or Commuter.
3. Commuter
4. Urvan for regular maintenance, it's a different story when other parts broke down.
5. Yes, go to seatmate in Mandaluyong or antipolo. Any seating configuration can be made by them.
6. For the specific purpose you mentioned, get the commuter.
Ang urvan, parang pagong yan pag umaakyat sa Kennon road, if you compare it with commuter. I have one, kaya nakikita ko kaibahan nila. Although if the driver is "skilled", it doesn't matter kung anong van yan. But 95% of UV express na may Baguio route were using Commuter.

May 29th, 2014 12:43 AM #16Yes, and there also seems to be a rising popularity of Foton View's. When I drove the Revo (2.4 diesel) to Baguio via Kennon Road, I encountered a Foton View UV Express. Nagulat ako sa lakas ng hatak! There was no black smoke and it was climbing at a very rapid pace. My accelerator was already floored and I still could not overtake him!
I calculated an average fuel consumption of around 10km/L on my Baguio trip with the Revo (7 passengers plus luggage). Around one line from QC to La Union and almost another line just for the length of Kennon Road. Rough calculations show that it would've been consuming around 13-14km/l on the flatlands and just around 4-5km/l on Kennon Road. The Urvan has an engine that produces similar power output. I think it's consumption shouldn't be far off.

May 30th, 2014 04:33 PM #18just my two cents.. cant help but comment.. have a friend that owns one.. overall its not a bad van.. but with 3.0 non turbo engine.. its not efficient at all... i dont know why nissan didnt put a turbo in it.. or put a CRDI engine.. because the design of the urvan estate is similar to the new Hiace. to think that Nissan came out with the Urvan estate ahead of the Hiace.

June 8th, 2014 11:43 AM #20AFAIK Nissan came first ahead of yota with the big body design Urvan E25. That time Nissan had no CRD engine for asian markets so they utilised the ZD30DD N/A. Last time i checked, Nissan Ph already discontinued E25 while E24 remains on sale. Maybe because its not priced well nobody is buying, and for over 1.2M one could go with CRDi version from Toyota or Hundai.
