August 14th, 2013 10:24 AM #221I agree. Mas madami pa sigurong bibili niyan kung may 3.0 ang SG/Grandia GL. Kung yang 2.5 nalang na may 102 hp lang, kaya niyang sumabay sa takbuhan, how much more kung mas mataas pa ang hp and torque niya. Nung nag convoy nga kami ng uncle ko pauwi ng La Union, '06 Pajero FM ung dala niya, hindi niya maunahan ung SG sa national road. Dala ko ung Dmax, nasa 120 kph nung naunahan ko. Mabilis siya umarangkada for its engine and size.
But if you would compare their prices, mas bang for the buck talaga ang GS, wag ka nga lang magpaloko sa kanilang warranty BS.

I thought they were upgrading the Grandia's engine to a 3.0L D-4D (which is still a detuned version of the Fortuner's engine).
Ride on the Commuter is bad. Very choppy, and tight inside. Wish they brought over the bubble top, Grandia-sized Commuter. That would be big and relatively comfy.

^The Commuter seats are also slightly above wooden benches. :D
It may not be as fast as the Grand Starex but our Grandia has proven to be reliable and efficient; I just wished we added a little more for the Super Grandia when we bought the van.

August 14th, 2013 04:16 PM #226Kung ganyan na ang performance ng 102 hp sa SG/Grandia, I wonder kung gaano pa kalakas yan pag umabot ng mga 140 ang hp.
I so agree with you on the Commuter. Yan ang sinakyan namin from SM Davao to Kidapawan. Whew! Ang sikip, ang tigas ng ride considering puno ung van. Doon pa ako sa last row nakaupo. Buti ung from Kidapawan to North Cotabato Urvan na. Ang laki ng difference. Honestly, mas ok pa para sakin ung old Hiace kaysa sa Commuter.

Sorry my mistake. GL pala yung na-drive ko dati. Checked out my neighbor's Hiace last night.
Anyway, just want to share with you guys - nakasakay din kami ng Grandia with a 2.7L VVTi engine sa Dubai. 14 kami on board and I can still feel the punch of the petrol engine. M/T yun.
Meron din ako experience last 2007 sa South Africa - we rode a Hiace long wheelbase and bubble top with the 3.0 D4D. Ang tulin! As far as I remember, A/T yun.

We are planning also to change our van next year (Hiace Commuter), In favor ako sa GS over Hiace GL, pero my only concerned is the GS suspension, yun pa naman ang masakit sa ulo sa sasakyan kapag madalas masira yung suspension, even they said its different from previous gen. like for example we used to go very often out of town or in province, although ok na naman yung daan papunta sa province namin at this time pero about sa durability compare sa hiace like our old van hands down ako.
tested na kase lalo na yung hiace sa tibay ng underchassis, madalas kami pumunta sa province namin sa Antique, at yung daan on the way dati ng calapan to roxas city ( mindoro ) eh talaga naman sama ng daan hindi pa siya naayos, seating capacity with topload 6-8 baggages, hindi ka pwede ng 40-50 kph ang takbo kailngan 60- 90kph dahil puro pot holes at rough road noon 3 hours na ganyan sa ngayon shocks lang at ball joint upper pa lang napapalitan namin sa ngayon.
Yun lang din iniisip ko kung GS 12 seater kukunin namin over the Hiace hindi kaya madalas masira yung suspension kung sa mga ganyang road conditions.

Kaya rin naman matibay ang suspension ng Hiace (esp. rear) kasi molye.
Checked the Hiace Super Grandia sa Toyota Motorshow kanina sa WTC, kawawa ang driving position ng driver.

August 15th, 2013 09:12 AM #230San ka sa Antique sir?
BTT, Madalas din kami umuwi ng Antique, yearly kami nauwi. We brought the Revo before mga naka 5 times na rin sa Ro-Ro via Caticlan.
Pero yung GS namin 2 times na naka byahe sa Antique, so far wala naman problem sa suspension. 8 Passengers kaming sakay and punong puno ng gamit. Ganda ng laro ng suspension at sarap pa ihataw sa hiway.
Daming issue ng SU7:grin:
