Default Starex or MB100

Anong magandang ipalit sa VAN(L300) ko, for daily use and sometimes long distance to dagupan w/ my family.. I look also for Fuel Efficiency, low maintenance.

The Starex is easier to drive as a personal car and has better top end over the the MB and most likely maintainance of the Starex has an edge over the MB... On fuel efficiency i cannot tell but it seems mas matipid yung MB.

Don't close the doors on either; Test drive and look around for the best deal/condition you can find.

Yep, test drive muna ng kung anong available Starex at MB. Then decide from there. But if you come across these two in the almost the same condition, I'd go for the Starex.

MB 100 is a little difficult to drive but much larger. Starex is easily driven. Both are fairly cheap to maintain....fuel efficiency is almost the same.

All MB 100s seem to have a noisy drivetrain IMHO.

yeah, MB 100s are quite noisy, perhaps since the engine isn't in a separate bay up front as in the starex? RWD nga ba ang MB?

Tnx. Starex it is. More comfortable with a RWD configuration for such a vehicle.

The MB100D is RWD.

But the Starex is more confortable to drive.

sir niky,

FWD po ang MB100. That's why the rear floor is so low (there is no propeller shaft running underneath). A standard roof MB100 seems to even have more headroom that those bubble top Hi Ace Grandias. Getting into the MB100 cabin is just one step up unlike sa Starex/Hi ace na from the ground, may isang step pa before the actual cabin floor. Sa MB100, from the ground, sa cabin floor ka na agad. Yung front row ang ang may step because the engine and tranny are situated underneath.

It's easier to load things in the back also because of the low liftover.

Oh, okay. That kind of explains the floor.

Hey, if it's FWD, it would be safer on the highway than the L300.

Handling of the MB100 is very benign. And unlike our former L300 and Besta, I can back the MB100 up a wet driveway without those tire spinning antics.

Traction is good because there is always weight (engine and tranny) over the drive wheels.

i'd pick the starex over mb100...mb100 nasa ilalim ng upuan ung makina and safer ang starex pag front collision(really useful pag long driving, mabibilis sasakyan).

We have an MB 100 ambulance here at St. Lukes. Hirap sa akyatan at
dumadamba accdg.to the drivers. Iba talaga ang RWD lalo't van.
They have compared it very well to those of Urvan, Besta and the latest
Toyota Super Grandia D4-D. We have 1 Strarex CRDi at ito ang pinaka-
gusto nilang i-drive.
