I currently own a RAV4-SV MT (7 years old, this month), which I was able to buy through the help of the folks here in Tsikot. I love it and have no regrets buying it over the competing CRV and Escape and X-Trail models at the time. I chose it because it was sporty and it had orange-lighted dashboard
But it's old and so I want a new car. My budget, however is limited to 1.4M or less. So, my choices are:
Tucson R eVGT 2.0L GL 4WD AT-Php 1.338M
Santa Fe 2.4 2WD Petrol - FL AT (Low Specs) -Php 1.368M
CRV 2.0 li 2WD AT - Php 1.325M
Forester 2.0 X - Php 1.378M
Genesis Coupe 2.0 Turbo (Entry) - Php 1.398
The car will be used for 80-85% city driving. And I'm not a fast driver. Space is not a concern (i.e. I'm not a "school bus" and don't ferry people around). It would be nice if the car isn't a guzzler as I get pretty good mileage from my RAV4 now (about 9km/l). There are nearby car dealers for all of the above, except the Subaru. I'd prefer AT over MT, but the Genesis Coupe looks great so I may be able to overlook that
I know that the CRV's design is old. I'm not aware if the current Sta. Fe is already the new model or is merely a facelifted version.
Actually, I'm sorely tempted to get the Php 1.158M model of the Tucson to save 200K and be done with this. I am not aware if the extra 200K for the diesel model is worth the price. I'm also aware that the CRV and the Santa Fe at the 1.3M range are base models. But it would be nice to get a higher-end vehicle for once, so I'm going through this process.
Thoughts?
