innova j dsl or avanza 1.5

[vinj]

Mga boss, talas bang Hindi nagpapa test drive ang Toyota. I am still torn between innova and avanza e...

If the car is newly launched, usually walang test drive unit.

I'd get the Innova hands down just as well.

After driving diesel it's hard to go back to gas.

workaround ideas to discuss among friends: Diesel engines: some taboos still around it

One of the taboos about diesels is related to the maintenance: it's actually not so harder as most people think. Due to the absence of an electric ignition system, they're even simpler to work on. And currently with all that electronic engine management systems all-around, their fuel injection hardwares are getting closer to the a gasoline/E85/CNG/LPG setup, easing the first contacts for mechanics unexperienced on the diesel field.

As far as PMS goes, nowadays it's actually easier than it is in a comparable gasser. Also, the interval between oil changes and other PMS procedures is extended in comparison with a gasser...

With all due respect to any Avanza owner out there, the Innova J is just sooooo much better than the Avanza in every way. If you have the budget go for the Innova and you will not regret it.

PS: I inspected a showroom display of an 2012 Avanza.

Agree here,- whether it is a gas or a diesel variant.....

Sa Toyota Pasong Tamo meron sila unit na pang test drive.. Automatic Transmission lang ang test drive unit. Doon ako nakapag test drive at doon din ako kukuha ng unit.

Test unit is 1.5E Toyota Avanza.

Sorry... oo nga 1.3e lang yung na test drive ko... naalala ko walang nga pala fog lamp sa ibaba yung test drive unit... so hindi yun G.
Yung 1.5g nila Dark Steel Mica yun nga pala ang nasa loob ng showroom... ganda ganda ng kulay :-)

Depende pa rin sa gagamit... Kung isang tao lang ang sasakay pang araw-araw parang napaka laki naman ng Innova...Actually. pinag isipan ko rin yan kung innova or avanza ang bibilhin ko para sa anak ko for her college daily drive this coming school year....

Sabi ko sa anak ko innova na lang para mahiram ko o magamit ng family pa minsan ninsan... katuwiran niya sa akin... ayaw daw niya mag dala ng ganoong kalaking sasakyan at siya lang naman daw sasakay dun palagi... mahirap pa daw mag park dahil malaki..

For family use... I agree best go for innova ... pero kung dalaga at binata gagamit o single user go for avanza....

sir, bat di ka pa mag-Altis or Honda City kung madalas e ikaw lang ang sakay pala?e yung mga yun mas matipid at mas mura except for the altis na same price lang ng Innova J.kasi if pangpamilya hanap mo, mag AUV/SUV type of vehicle ka pero kung ikaw lang naman pala madalas op anak mo, kotse ka na lang.

Actually isa yan sa suggestion ng brother ko... Get the Altis or the Innova... instead of the Avanza. Hindi na kasi ako at anak ko sanay mag drive ng mga sedan.. Current ride is Crosswinds XUV... kapag naka sedan kasi feeling namin para kaming naka lubog at mahirap makipag gitgitan sa trapik... :-) Kung Innova naman masyadong malaki...

The avanza was just right for our needs.... compact for 1 person driving then convertible yung space that can load yung buong drums set ng anak ko and lagyan ng cage sa likod for my dogs.

Talagang kanya-kanya needs ng tao... kaya nung nag usap kami ng anak ko medyo magkaiba kami ng opinion on what to get for his ride... sa porma kasi sabi ng anka ko mas gusto niya sedan... pero sabi ko you need space for your drum set and space if ever may mga group project kayo... you can accomodate your classmates... also sabi ko ... kapag kumuha ako example ng toyota fortuner papayag ako na makipag palit palit ng ride sa iyo kasi fit din sa need ko yung avanza.

thanks for answering..

isa pa uli mga boss. automatic na ba na may rustproof ang mga bagong kotse? di ba kasi nilalagay nilang free yun? how can i be sure na na rustproof talaga? or from the factory/plant, e rust proofed na ang kotse?

also, is undercoat a separate thing? thanks!
