i'm planning to purchase a bnew starex crdi m/t model. is there a better choice or option than the starex na dapat ko bilhin or tignan?? i plan to use it as an all-around vehicle: family, business trips to the province (manila-ilocos/cagayan), cargo carrier, etc.
paki-tulungan nyo naman ako. your expert opinions will help me in my decision.
Pwede na yang starex but if you only have 2 children, just get a DMAX 4X2...better cargo hauling/fuel mileage/built/reliability than a starex.

True... if you won't be carrying too many passengers having a Dmax or the Hilux 4x4 may be a better option (then invest in a good set of aftermarket shocks for better ride comfort).
The Starex is a pretty good people carrier though (lotsa space); medyo malaki siya if you'll be driving alone most of the time though. Fuel consumption is in the 7km/L range in the city i heard.
...or wait for the next Kia Sedona with 2.5L DOHC CRDi VGT 170hp, out by the end of the year DAW along with the Kia Carrens.
Jabr had a news earlier mentioned in the Carnival/Sedona Thread that Carnival 2006 will be launched by the end of this month. Jabr said it is official as what appeared in the Inquirer news. Try a little patience if Carnival may just suddenly pop up in your mind as one of your options.
ok naman ung starex,e...not that bad kahit nagiisa ko, pero, di lang magandang tignan kasi 1 ka lang, laki ng ride mo... ok naman ung manual crdi starex...
kung mas all-round, indent ka ng 4wd starex sa mga local dealer, ok naman sa kanila yun,e..nasa price list nila din yung 4wd option.
just get the short-9 seater kung all-rounder gusto mo, ung jumbo is too big to be an all-rounder,e...

Re: Better option than the Starex CRDi ??
i think the next Sedona/Carnival will be slotting in the middle of SWB and LWB Starex in terms of size, but it will definitely be close in the size of the LWB one.
I just bought my Starex CRDi 2006 M/T last June, before we decided to buy a Starex we went around to look for the right vehicle. We came up with the following reasons why we chose the Starex:
1. Fuel Efficiency - we were told then that its diesel fuel consumption on
the average is 10Km/liter(highway driving), but I just
came from Bicol and it gave me an average of 11.80
km/ liter.
2. Comfort - this a big factor in long distance driving especially for those
seated at the back.
3. Less Noise and Vibrations compared to other diesel engines.
4. Flexibility of seat arrangements. 5. It does not have a fold and tumble 2nd row seats, meaning you don't have to wait for 3rd row passengers to get in before the 2nd row passengers can take their seats, in the same manner, you don't have to tell the 2nd row seat passengers to get out of the vehicle, to allow the 3rd row passengers to get out of the vehicle ( you will regret it especially if its raining).
I hope this will help you make the right decision!
Ayos na siguro yung d4d ng toyota dami kong nakikita ngayong naka-innova d4d engine. ganda ng ride parang sedan kung nagkasya lang pera ko malamang innova din binili ko.
Better option than the Starex CRDi ??
