September 21st, 2012 12:25 PM #1I had a Daihatsu Hi-Jet in the early '90's. I bought a 2-year old, used unit. It had a very strong, capable engine. Ang dami kong nahakot and na-i-sakay when I was moving house. Pati aluminum ladder nagkasya, haha!
I loved that little van for hakutan and for going around the neighborhood, and to the grocery.
5. Cons:
1. Front dives down and pulls to the side when overtaken by a bus on the highway (SLEX).
2. Front panel is difficult to detach and re-attach, when accessing the radiator.
3. Air-con is practically useless. The 2 air vents cover only the 2 people riding in front. Needs an electric fan for the rear.
4. Hard to find a half-depth car stereo unit that will fit the center console
5. At 80-100 kph on EDSA (pag Good Friday), it needed a sack of rice in the rear to stop from bouncing up and down.
Never tried or rode in a Suzuki SuperCarry. But I hope the above info will be useful to you for comparing.
Afterward, I sold this van to an officemate, who ran it to the ground, left it to rust and sold it for junk. Sayang.
