Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

[hahnvin]

kung kaya mo naman na mastretch ang budget for the E variant, go for it. iba pa din ang standard accessories compared to upgraded only.

Mga Kaibigan,

After several sleepless nights, countless brochures, vast comparative readings of articles and reviews between Carens and Innova, like few among you, I have finally decided. --- I AM JOINING THE PACK...and im getting the Innova before the year ends or early next week after this celebration.

But the headache doesnt stop there!. The battle between Innova J and Innova E (gas) now continues . (Carens was TKO'd due to ground clearance (just me) Im soo close to closing the deal with the SA, madami kami nun 4 full size adults, 4 children pinasakay ko lahat sa Carens test drive, then I measure the clearance at the rear end of the chassis right before the wheel and i was dissapointed really. My tape measure is a Nokia 1100 and tukod na talaga sa madaling sabi, wala pang play yun ha).

Guys would like to ask, sa tingin nyo ba yung 100k na difference ng J sa E is too much considering the upgrades? Should I upgrade next up to the E spec. Aabot sa 100k magagastos ko?

As mentioned from previous posts. Eto lang nakikita ko na major changes, otherwize.. cost is still debatable.

Differences
allow wheels, power windows, vinyl&fabric vs vinyl only sa J seats, rear wiper, ABS, etc (minor?)

Pleaseee help!!! (nabasa ko na po lahat ng pages) for finality...kunting tulong na lang po.

Bro,

Ilista mo lahat ng added features ng E model then collect the cost of each and sum it up. Ginawa ko din dati kasi ito, sigurado ako na mas mura lalabas yung upgraded version kaysa sa ikaw ang magpapa-upgrade.

If you are going to get the E variant, try to haggle na yung mga freebies mo ay convert na lang sa power side mirror - ito yung pinaka gamitin kasi para sa akin sa mga tight parking ayaw ko rin kasi nagagasgas ang mag wheels ko sa bangketa.

The best pa rin ang all stock kaysa upgraded and kasama yan lahat sa 3 years warranty. IMO

Tanong lang po nakita nyo ba iyong bangga ko sa likod noong fun run?? kahit ba ganun 2500 din ang bayad sa repair sa toyota makati??pangit talaga tignan e..

Di pa keyless entry yun D4D E m/t but you can have it installed sa casa, price rages from P3500.00 to P7000.00. Medyo mahal nga lang compared kung sa labas mo pa install where the price starts at P1500.00.

ok guys this is it. bukas pwede na makuha yung innova j ko.

ito lang ang mga free ko:
1. seat cover
2. matting
3. rust proofing
4. tint (pero di ko pinalagay, unless papayag sila na 3m full wind shield. pinag iisipan ko pa kung ano ipapalit ko.) ano ba magandang ipalit sa tint?
5. promise ng friend ko sa akin golf umbrella at sun visor.

tapos nagpakabit ako sa kanila ng window visor at fog lamps original accessories for 5000 package price pero kaliwaan sideline ata ito ng SA. ok na ba yung price?

and then papakabit na lang ako ng alarm sa labas, pati bibili na rin ako ng lock ng spare tire.

ano pa ba kailangan ko i-check bukas bukod sa manuals, warranty cards, tools?

thanks!

ano pa ba mga kailangan kong hingiin

I got my Innova J three years ago, because my budget was good for a J only. Had my budget then could buy me an E or a G, I would get an E or a G. Now, I have another budget that could buy me additional car, and I bought a Kia Carens LX. In short, if your budget can buy you an E, I suggest you get an E.

AFAIK, per panel talaga singilan kaya kahit gano kaliit yung bangga, pareho pa rin charge non... nakita ko yung bumper mo... me konting lubog sya... kaya paiinitan muna yan bago pinturahan.

magdala ka na lang sir ng lalagyan... usually di na sila nagbibigay nito... pakiusapan mo na lang SA mo.

Hi guys,

I'm a newbie here but I've been lurking here long before I registered, because I'm planning to buy a car/vehicle soon...

For the longest time, I have owned and driven a second hand car (first, a 1995 Mazda 323; then, a 1997 Suzuki Esteem; now, a 1998 Nissan Sentra). Now that I'm married with two kids, I want to "upgrade" to a bigger car on a budget. With my budget ceiling of P900K (possibly stretchable to P950K), I have narrowed it down to these choices:

1. Toyota Innova (the J model or possibly the E model)
2. Isuzu Crosswind (I got intrigued by their XTi Limited Edition)
3. Chevrolet Optra Wagon (seems like value for money - is this Japan made?)
4. Kia Carens (currently my top choice because of all the posts here)
5. Hyundai Tucson (probably the entry level due to my budget)
6. Kia Sportage (probably the entry level due to my budget)

Of course, I would love to be able to choose the most durable and reliable one among the bunch, with an eye for value-for-money and great after-sales service. So far, I'm leaning towards the Kia Carens; however, I'm still seriously considering the Innova, save for a few concerns:


1. My dad used to have a diesel Sentra (the box type) and although the fuel cost was much less than the cost for a gasoline car, his maintenance cost for that car was fairly high - much higher, I would think, than what would be normally spent for maintaining a gasoline car. Is this still the case nowadays? I know that almost everyone is raving about the new CRDi (and D4D) technology but I just want to be assured that the fuel savings on a diesel engine will not be offset by high maintenance cost (as compared to a gas version).

2. How significantly better is the fuel consumption/efficiency of the Innova diesel version as compared to the Innova gas version?


Ummm.... that's it for now. I apologize for the long rant but I just want to try to cover all bases. I hope you guys can help me out. Thanks again!

Add-ons I installed:
1. Color-keyed side mouldings
2. Hood Chrome Trim/Rear Door Chrome Trim/Chrome Door Handle
3. Step-sill
4. Mudguards
5. Alarm
6. Fog Lamps

To Follow:
1. Rear Spoiler (birthday gift from my wife)
2. No-drill Roof rail
3. Black-out paint on door frames

Bro, how much did these add-ons cost you per add-on? I'm curious since if ever I do buy a Innova E, I would probably add these on as well.

Check out post number 7351 on page 368 of this thread to give you an idea on how ripples decided against the Carens in favor of the Innova. Read back ka lang sa mga previous discussions also on this thread for the pros and cons of D4D against VVTI. Also by posting on this thread expect an overwhelming endorsement for the Innova.

[kristian 13]

1. color-keyed side mouldings
2. chrome door handle and mirror pati ung sa hood and rear door trim

5. foglamps

Thanks for the assist, bro dencio105! Hirap lang mag-backread kasi sobrang dami nang posts dito. Actually, I anticipated that this thread will have overwhelming support for the Innova so I also posted my concerns on the Carens thread.

just to give you an idea on how much these items would cost at Tyt Makati:

1. 5K
2. 3,5K if you're talking about the chrome door handle assembly... kung chrome cover lang talaga, 2,169.32
chrome mirror cover w/o led 1,928.24
center chrome grill 1,774.00/set
3. 2,960.74 AFAIK it only comes in black color
4. 7-7,5K with central locks
5. 6,684.36


of course, you can get these items much cheaper in Banawe. hope this helps
