may kakilala ako around 300kgs (supplies) sakay ng ertiga niya napatakbo pa ng 180kph sa SCTEX. A/T pa... Manila to Bataan ang biyahe nya almost 2x week. so far wala pa naman syang issue na nabanggit sa amin. yung iba naman naakyat na ng sagada unit nila.

kung cakes and pastries ang business nyo, i suggest ertiga na. nakaakyat naman ng baguio (via kennon) at mt. samat yung sa akin (GL M/T).

the usual issues. may pumapasok na amoy nung una. in-adjust lang yung vent. so far nawala naman. moist headlight dun sa iba, napa warranty naman.

kung installment mo kukunin, i suggest upgrade ka na agad ng HU para kasama na sa TCP mo. konti lang naman difference. alam ko sa GLX eh naka foglamps at central lock na.

i suggest test drive ka sir para mas ma feel mo yung ride and comfort.

Salamat sir skyglider. So kayang kaya naman pala ang Baguio.

Anong klaseng amoy yung pumapasok sir? amoy gas?

Regarding the HU, anong features ng upgraded HU? Way better ba dun sa stock ng GLX?

Gusto ko nga din mag test drive ng unit, problema lang wala daw test drive unit yung dealer dito sa pampanga .

yung madaanan mo sir, halimbawa may nagsusunog ng ipa or gulong. sa case ko malapit sa creek. or may smoke belcher sa harapan mo. pina adjust ko lang yung vent. yung iba totally pina close nila. alam ko issue din sa livina before yun.

nung bago nga parang maasim yung amoy ng aircon pero eventually nawala naman.

stock HU kasi eh hindi touchscreen. wala pang aux. not sure lang ako sa GLX ha. GL kasi yung sa akin. pero supported naman ang ipad at iphone .

Salamat sir skyglider. So kayang kaya naman pala ang Baguio.

Personally, Innova between the two. You get more power, more space, better parts availability, better fuel efficiency, better durability, better resale value... and so on and so forth. You can always add the power windows and locks, keyless entry and alloy wheels later.

Basically 7 seater, with capability to load some stuff at the back para sa business ni misis. Usually cakes and cupcakes lang naman yung sa business with other things she uses in designing a dessert table pag may event siya. Hindi naman mabibigat yung usual na isasakay but needs a big space. Most of the time it will be a family car rather than used in business. Initially was looking at Ertiga and Mobilio. Then may nag suggest why not look at the Innova J. That is why it is now between the top of the line Ertiga and the base model Innova. Less than 100K difference (Ertiga - 812K, Innova DSL J - 907K) nila. But as one of the comments in this thread Ertiga is bang for the buck. Innova naman is more of reliability/durability, parts availability. I am really just looking for some insights from those who have actual experience owning these cars so that I can have more info based on actual experience to make the decision.

Additional question sir g.b.b., do you think the gas fed Ertiga is more economical than the diesel Innova when it comes to total fuel cost considering you use them on the same route and conditions? Or is it still too early for you to tell since 2.5 weeks pa lang si Ertiga.

if you can afford mobilio then next best choice is innova. over priced lang mobilio tapos malakas gas consumption. (mobilio owners, no offense meant pero malakas talaga accrdg to my colleague who owns one. 6.5km/L)

both innova & ertiga can cater you wife's needs for carrying stuffs pero in the long run, mas makaka mura ka sa diesel in terms of consumption. make a computation table and see for yourself kung ano mas economical for fuel consumption.
as for family car, bring your kids and see if you all will fit comfortably in ertiga or innova. lamang sa leg room ang innova. when i got our innova nuong 2010 nasa 1.038m lang G model pa yun and that time J model is just same price as jazz nasa 780k lang now sobra taas.

why not buy a 2nd hand innova? hehe at least high specs pa makukuha mo with your budget at for sure may sobra pa.
bad thing about purchasing new cars, eh pa-praningin ka ng warranties coverage, magpagawa ka outside casa void na kaagad warranty. those are all BS para siyempre kumita ang casa sa nakuha mong discount lol.

hunt for 2012-2014 innova, ayos pa mga yun for sure.

I've just sold my car last week. Time to decide na. Hehehe

So kayang kaya naman pala ang Baguio.

Sa mga comment na "kaya naman pala ang Baguio"ako natatawa. Overrated masyado ang Baguio via Kennon.
