now, in my senior years, i have decided that a well-designed sedan is much easier to drive than the innova.
i have a 2003 altis, but they didn't measure me when they designed it.
i'm looking around for a good buy...

the tagtag factor may be deceptively minimal if one is the driver. we should ask the passengers behind for their opinions.

it's more the size of the land yacht. our neighborhood is crowded.
but yes, fuel expense also.

my relative has a camry.
nice to ride, but hardly used, because of the fuel penalty.
innova ang daily drive niya.

If I was given a Camry as a company car, I’d drive it daily to work except on coding days. That means fuel expense is also paid for by the company.

I guess I don’t see any difference in fuel expense if I am driving a Camry or Accord compared to our FXT or ASX.

lol * land yacht. doc, just like the old crown, I find it hard to drive because of the size. I have an easier time driving the gen 1 Pajero (na ang issue ko naman kabagalan) hahaha!

I have a ninong in his mid 60s. I remember in the 90s and 2000s, his garage consisted of a Starex, a couple of Jimnys, a box type Pajero, a converted 90 series Prado, a modified LN106 Hilux and one of the first top of the line Fortuners which he fitted with Concept One 22s (ang tagtag!). Fast forward to today, he now has a Terra, a GL Grandia Tourer, a Mazda CX30, a Subaru XV, a Honda HRV... You get the picture. [emoji1787]
