Hello, pls enlighten me. Almost sure na ako to get the Toyota Innova2.8 E MT Diesel, kaya lang parang naisip ko na why not get the A/T instead. Kasi this would be the first family car. Meron na akong personal car before pero I sold it na kasi based na ako overseas. First family car na isa sa mga pwedeng gumamit ay yung father ko na senior na 1st time pa lang magda-drive if ever and yung mga kapatid ko na mas bata sa akin and 2 of them ay girls. My brother can also drive for them naman if needed and I can drive for them too and use it paminsan-minsan siguro kapag nagbabakasyon sa Pinas. Having that said, city driving mostly siguro ang sasakyan and occasionally out of town. Take note that we have a big family na siguro every weekends mamamasyal around metro and sometimes siguro out of town nga, not everyday naman na sasakay lahat.

We already considered yung mga MPVs like Xpander, Rush pero sa tingin namin masikip and underpowered.

Tingin din naman yung tulad ng Starex ay masyado malaki. Kasi may mga instances or mas madalas less than 5 lang ang sasakay.

SUV naman we know na mahal ang maintenance cost nya at mahal din siguro sya.

We considered 2nd hand, pero para sure na din, bnew na lang kasi sa profile ng family namin, di uubra 2nd hand.

Budget namin is around 1.3M



So Innova na nga naisip namin.

We were almost sure about the Toyota Innova2.8 E MT Diesel until I thought na much better na yata kumuha ng A/T, lahat baka matutuo magdrive even my mom which is on her mid 50s and yung mga nakakabatang kapatid nga.

Kaya lang syempre gusto mo din makatipid, you are already thinking sa pagkakaiba ng 2.0gas vs 2.8dsl. Thinking also, kailangan ba talaga namin ng dsl? Kailan ito nagiging advantageous. Regarding naman G vs E, that I'm not sure if worth it ang differences.

Ito ang nasa list namin:

Toyota Innova2.0 E AT Gas
P1,247,000

Toyota Innova2.8 E MT Diesel
P1,249,000

Toyota Innova2.8 E AT Diesel
P1,319,000

Toyota Innova2.0 G AT Gas
P1,319,000

Hope you can enlighten us.

Thanks in advance!
