Please feel free to bring up other considerations I may have missed All I want is a modern, fuel-efficient, safe, comfortable, and versatile car that grows with my needs, that I can keep for 5-7 years then sell.
Sorry bro but in my opinion the crosswind shouldn't be on your list. It's not powerful, modern, safe and comfortable. If you considered the crosswind, then don't cross out the entry level montero from your list, i think it fits what you want in a car better and its not a much bigger car compared to the crosswind. I also would consider the innova to be fit for your needs, it may not look as macho as the crosswind but its a much much more modern car. Its modern, fuel efficient, safe, comfortable and versatile and you can resell it in 5-7 years without much problems. It's also quite rugged has good space and power. If ayaw mo talaga Innova, then maybe take a look at the Avanza. It also fits your needs. I'd rather get the Avanza kaysa crosswind. I think the crosswind was an okay car 10 years ago, but now in this day and age, i think its only okay as a utility car or commercial vehicle. Its just so dated.
