Suzuki APV [Merged Threads]

It's better to dark tint the middle glass (at passenger door) all the way to the rear/back door glass. But leave the glass windows of front doors and windshield with lighter color of tinting.

It will surely more accentuate the "Japanese Domestic Market minivan" looks.
Look at the Suzuki Every Wagon photo in here...

Yes, I agree with you here. And actually it looks great! I think in the US fully tint is not allowed that's why they always keep the front windows and windshield without any tint.

It looks great on the expedition as well!

But then again the heat will all build up in front .

A lighter tint in front is the best compromise!

Btw, is there gonna be a CRDi diesel version of the APV soon?
Anyone here knows about it?

Yes.
Use lighter tint specially for windshield, such as V-Kool VK70 or Huper Optik Drei. Both are nearly clear, but fights 99% of UV ray and around 96% of InfraRed ray
Not cheap enough, but very good visibility from inside - feels like not using any window films.

Huper Optik is cheaper with very close quality. I use HuperOptik Sech (cheaper than Drei).

I currently have a 225/50/16 installed in my APV. I believe my wheels are of Potenza brand. Got is installed sa Banawe..... tingnan ko yung resibo for the exact name nung shop.

Selling price now is P765,000.
...
The thing is also I am considering the Swift!

... Should I go for the APV?

If you haven't got any kid(s): go for Swift. This baby has good suspension & fun to drive.

If you're a father, then don't think twice: go for APV.

Ok naman ang ride? Di ba nabibigatan sa wheels?
size 17" kaya kasya pa din?

A bit bouncier since I don't want to lower the tire pressure but it now rides better when taking on small potholes and corners while maintaining the same acceleration as before. You can even go bigger than 17". Laki ng wheel wells ng APV e.

BTW, can you post some pics of your APV? Kasama yung mag wheels pls, kung pwede (for reference).

I will try to get some pics this Saturday of both exterior and interior as my wife is having the leather seats and backup sensors installed from Hino today.

Haaayyy.I'm still drooling. But I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get one in the next few months. * fingers crossed* . I just have some questions for those who have the manual type: mahirap ba idrive yung manual dahil yung wheel well ay umabot sa space ng paa ng driver? If so, should this deter me from getting the m/t type? How about long drives and traffic situations?
Lastly, assuming that a diesel version comes out next year should I get that instead of the Gas type?

I'd ike to thank Macky his earlier inputs. They have been extremely helpful. Also Much respect for Carlo addict and MBT for the glowing review made last year.Pati na rin si thebat , very detailed ang journey nya on getting his unit. looking forward to seeing it get dressed up.

I'm dead set on the APV, I have even developed the pittyful habbit of pointing and saying "APV" whenever I see one on TV and on the streets.
Please help me make my final choice.

After a few days, masasanay din ang left foot mo na katabi ang wheel well. Manual comes with single aircon. Medyo mainit lang sa third row during mid day. You might eventually install a dual aircon which I heard cost around PhP 30,000. Baka makatulong sa decision mo.
