Hope you can still share some of your thoughts.

Thank you.
Definitely the diesel E AT for me. I remember reading in an article from a local motoring site that the Innova's 5MT is not well suited to the engine, and is unable to take full advantage of the 1GD's power. Probably cost cutting? Both the Hilux and Hiace 2.8 are available with a 6MT, if I'm not mistaken.

For at least the first 5 years, you would most likely be spending only for preventive maintenance. For that, maintenance cost difference between the gas and diesel variants is not much, and you spend on that most likely around twice a year. On the other hand, the price difference between gas and diesel is around P12/L, and that one you will appreciate every time you go to the gas station.
