    I beg to disagree that only business owners would want a liteace. I'm a fresh grad and I'm genuinely considering it as a daily driver. It has everything I need: cheap, reliable, small footprint on the road, plus it's gonna be an interesting conversation for anyone who asks why I drive what is essentially a kei truck to work. I may have to reconsider the comfort aspect, but hey if people my age can tolerate civics on coilovers, pretty sure I can tolerate a utilitarian van.

      if you look at it, it's not a bad deal. A jack of all trade type of vehicle is what all we need in 2023. It's not going to be the best entry level vehicle unlike sedans such as the vios and even hatchbacks like wigo. I'm also considering selling my mirage, and getting this variant as an upgrade. Knowing the specs, especially the brand, owning this variant won't be a pretty bad deal. I agree that it's a utilitarian vehicle. I'm planning to own one and upgrade the cabin into a semi-camper experience hence an offroad setup, pretty amazing for its price.

      @@mecowxoxo the LiteAce is basically the Kirby of the automotive world. Can be turned into anything you want as long as you have the time and resources to do it.

    We have this van! Very nice around the city.
    Medyo hirap lang sa akyatan.
    9-10km/L city + highway.
    Sulit for a small business. ❤🎉

      Was choosing between this and the Type1 Suzuki APV. But wala si LiteAce ng backseat, windows, adjustable seats and rear a/c so I got the APV.
      Talo lang ako sa fuel consumption. 5-6kpl sa city driving saka dated fleet car design. Walang blue tooth yung stock stereo. Love hate din yung low gear ratio. Malakas na konsumo nya beyond 60kmh (iwas overspeeding sa Metro Manila saka asbu) pero di naman ako bitin sa akyatan. Di ko rin gusto na puti yung nakuha ko.

      Para sakin ok narin palitan lng Ng glass window then lgyn Ng upuan .
      May Nissan vannette nmn kmi na mlkas sa ahunan. Wla ngang kwenta mga aytan sa maria aurora and dngaan even at full loaded Ng skay a gamit dhil mlaks makina 2.0 ehh

    In Australia we don't get the Toyota Liteace but back in the 1980s l had one for courier work but l had a back seat a bench seat wich folded up l did loose a bit of cargo space but it came in handy for transporting my immediate family around it had a 1,8 litre ohv carburetored 4 cylinder engine and it was forward control and you sat over the motor and in summer in Australia it was hot and no air conditioning been the 1980s the steering was very light without power steering because the radiator was inline with the front axle my wife drove it and thought it had power steering and what's wrong with manual windows and manual transmissions my 1997 Toyota Hilux has both if these reliable items less to go wrong which makes the vehicle more reliable but my Hilux gss air conditioning and my 26 year old manual windows still work also reliability is a luxury

    • @ian74747
      @ian74747 Рік тому +18

      This van needs to be manufactured as cheap and easy as possible that's why it has simple design so they could roll these out as fast as possible. No one will buy a expensive small utility van with a sporty "2023" look that has underpowered engine.

    Notes for myself:
    Negatives:
    - cooked eggs (needs better heatshield under the seat)
    - weird/mushy brakes
    - no sound deadening, noise
    - manual transmission only
    - suspension bouncy and firm
    - poorly padded seats
    - no tachometer
    - no power windows
    - fixed passenger seat
