Hiace or Urvan or Starex


Recommended Posts

For me (rank accordingly top 1-3)

1. Starex - comfort and sheer driving

2. Urvan - capacity

3. Hiace - space

 

I think the Starex would be the safest vehicle of the three. The Urvan and Hiace don't have hoods. So if your vehicle slams into another vehicle, chances are you will be pinned in your Hiace or Urvan if you're sitting up front. Iba ang may hood to protect passengers in case of a collision.

Here's mine in terms of space, comfort, durability and maintenance.

 

1. Starex - Ride comfort, Spacious (some have swivel type of chair in the passenger side), Coach seat (i think this is for the top of the line).

2. HiAce - Durability

3. Urvan - As per Nissans, they say that they have great AC.

 

 

 

There are also rumors that a new Nissan Grand Estate will be release locally. You might also take a look at it before choosing among the van types.

good day sirs,

 

in my opinion japanese makers still make the best vehicles around. i would go for the hi ace lalo na if its the grandia or super grandia model

 

the nissan urvan has been seen all around the metro because of its hauling capacity and VERY cool airconditioning but heres the thing a brand new vehicle should not be breaking down right? ive seen these vans on the side of the road with smoking engines.. di po overheat engine trouble talaga la pa 1 year baba na agad engine.

 

lastly for the starex though the body is nice and all but do take note it is a korean vehicle maganda talaga kasi its brand new but look at the older models of the starex you would notice interior parts madaling masira and really not that durable.

 

there you go sir. actually depende rin sa purpose ng van san nyo sya gagamitin pang family ba or business so dami pa factors to consider

Thanks for the inputs bro red089. This thing you mentioned about Nissan Urvans breaking down, has this been documented? Has Nissan issued a recall order of this type of vans?

no worries sir based lang naman sya sa experiences ko.. as for the nissan urvans breaking down im not really sure how nissan addressed the issues. try asking the uv express drivers they can give us more info about how the urvan is.

If you have lots of money to waste go for Starex. It has the most problematic engine of all. Overheating is the common problem and very poor fuel economy. In terms of looks, Starex gets my vote. Hanggang porma lang kasi korean cars. They only make their vehicles look better than the Japanese vehicles but never focused on the engine and under chassis durability.

pareho...... parehong sakit ng ulo.. hehehe.

 

Bro was just wondering if the overheating problem and poor fuel economy you mentioned is based on first hand knowledge or write-ups that you've read. You see I just found out this evening my mom purchased a Starex and I want to be forewarned about potential problems with this type of vehicle.
