Reason:
Lets face d facts, ur considering these 2 coz ur looking at a ride tat take more than 5ppl. Rush is basically an Avanza(step ladder frame), pumped up wheels n body but kinda let down in ride n built quality.
Comments:
Livina is a monocoque body from d Latio which is more suited for passanger ferrying. Only advantage d Rush has is rugged looks n higher driving position.
Experience:
Scared d sh*t of me when i drove d Rush at 110kmh n decided to lower my expectation to 90kmh (floating, prone to cross-winds, under powered n relatively high noise intrusion). Imagine driving a stock Kenari wit Kembara sized wheels n ground clearance. Driven a Storm n Unser at highway speeds but still hv convidence to keep to those speeds. Further more the gear ratios r more suited for urban runners.
G.Livina
+ Comfort
+ Better built interior
+ Will hold better value (compare Livina n Rush population ratio)
- subjective sedate looks (unless u opt for d Impul add-ons)
Rush
+ Higher driving position
+ Rugged looks
- Below average drive
- Bouncy last row comfort
- Interior built (think Toyota's really pressing d budget point here)
FC
1.6 Livina n 1.5 Rush fc is not much different but d candidate from T edges ahead due to wheel size n smaller power shortage.
U may think I'm kinda anti-Rush here but best for u to b d driver n passanger in both vehicles before deciding
