Both are decent people movers. The Toyota Tarago was one of the first purpose-designed people movers, rather than a converted van, and as a result it had refined road manners more like a regular passenger car than a commercial vehicle. The Tarago's 2.4-litre, fuel-injected four-cylinder motor is adequate, but running it on LPG would take the edge off its performance. The Mitsubishi Starwagon also had decent road manners, but was based on a van. Its base engine was a 2.0-litre four and I would avoid that one. The optional 2.4-litre fuel-injected four is a better choice. My choice would be the Tarago, and you should be able to find a 1990-1994 model for $15,000.
