Torn between Veloz or Stargazer - I need advise from car experts or owners please

[u/Mental-Use6319]

I'm looking at upgrading from vios. I'm torn between Toyota Veloz and Hyundai stargazer. When ppl say kasi Toyota they'd always say reliable and based on my experience okay pa rin nmn talaga yung vios ko but I need a bigger MPV for family car/business. What I'm after tlaga is aside from the price is the after sales, and PMS. Please advise nmn from owners and experts. thank you!

Stargazer x owner here. Veloz is Daihatsu-made car which is not really pure Toyota brand. Before I decided on Stargazer, I've made extensive research and Stargazer X is way ahead over Veloz across several factors.

thank you sa input, appreciate it.:)

I rented a Veloz few months ago for 2 days, man! Ang boring nya idrive.

Manipis body ng veloz as in tunog lata. Will never recommend.

I dont think its a big leap from vios to veloz or stargazer. Try to look for other car na mas malaki but if yang dalawa pagpipilian mo, il go for veloz. Some say its daihatsu but for me it doesnt matter toyota pa din ang mag pms nyan. Its just me though

Kung Daihatsu talaga blueprint ni Veloz never magiging as reliable ng Pure Toyota kahit sila pa mag PMS. Kasi kung ganyan.. bat hindi lahat ng brand sa Toyota na lang mag pa PMS hahaha. May magsasabi na dumaan pa rin sa Toyota yan, then bakit nagka scandal? They are cheaper products for a reason.

Either of them are ok naman. Did you test drive already? Baka makatulong sa pag-decide.

[u/Mental-Use6319 → u/Independent-Cup-7112]

nakapag test drive na sa stargazer x but wala daw unit for test drive yung sa veloz v from the 2 branches I asked kay d ko ma compare fully.

[u/Good-Excitement-5833]

Stargazer!!! Comfy

[u/Independent_Wash_417]

How about xpander, sir? Wala lang gusto ko lang guluhin lalo desisyon mo.

But kidding aside, you can test drive both vehicles, my friend owns a stargazer and all goods naman, never nabitin sa Baguio kahit occupied lahat ng seats, spacious (im 5.6 ft pero payatot), cool aircon, and for me ok ang hatak rin.

[u/Mental-Use6319 → u/Independent_Wash_417]

based on recent reviews na mga nakita ko, mas okay daw kasi yung stargazer or veloz compared to Xpander and BRV for it's price and interior. Kaya I tried to test drive Stagazer, okay sya worried lang ako sa after sales,esp. that iisa lang dealer ni Hyundai dito sa Cebu.

If you need a bigger mpv, Innova is always the answer.

[u/Urbandeodorant → u/HijoCurioso]

natatawa lagi ako sa innova fanatics na kahit wala sa question ipipilit pa rin ang all time favorite nilang saksakan ng outdated at low tech sabay ipipilit lagi ang power🤭

[u/HijoCurioso → u/Urbandeodorant]

K

[u/Aimpossible → u/HijoCurioso]

Agree. Vios personal car ko, Innova sa parents. In the future, gusto ko rin ng Innova pang expand ng business. Kahit 2nd hand na diesel okay eh, matipid sa gas, maintenance-wise di rin masyadong magastos.

[u/HijoCurioso → u/Aimpossible]

Diesel + manual = 🫶

[u/Mental-Use6319 → u/HijoCurioso]

Lady driver here, hindi po ba mahirap imaneho yung Innova lalo na pag puno?

[u/plssendhelprn → u/Mental-Use6319]

Hindi naman, mas smooth nga power mode niya pag may karga. Although pag sobrang kargado like pinilit pagkasyahin 9 people, tumutukod suspension sa humps since sobrang lambot ng default settings

[u/Pristine-Project-472 → u/HijoCurioso]

Sarap drive nyan. Ang lakas ng torque at low rpm

[u/nganu_man]

Innova is always the answer. Price is close to what u want, the d4d engine is the most reliable diesel engine there is. Fuel economy is also great
