Which crossover/compact SUV please?

**Titleist983k** · August 9th, 2011 01:59 PM

Ok first off, I know that there are multiple threads regarding crossovers but here is my personal dilemma in choosing.

I had written off the following crossovers/compact SUV:
CRV-Ugly

Rav4-You get very little for what you paid for, plus Toyota Alabang sucks and their dealership is nearest to my house. Boring vehicle to look at as well.

Sportage/Sorento-Not sold on KIA yet.

Xtrail - had the 240x already, great car. But I don't want to get another.

Vitara - not interested

that probably leaves me with the Mazda cx-7 and the Hyundai Tucson.

What I like about the CX-7, drivers vehicle, great package from the dealership overall a car with great reviews. What I don't like: The rear end looks like an egg. Resale value questionable.

What I like about the Tucson, non traditional look. Nice interior. What I don't like: the car is everywhere, resale value questionable.

I have also ruled out the Montero sport: ugly and cheap interior. Fortuner: everybody has one and pretty old model.

Hoping to get a few inputs. Thanks!

Mitsubishi ASX yes, I don't like the dash, but I heard the driving experience is good.
Foerester, had one before. So hindi muna siguro.
Kia Soul, don't like how it looks.

Thanks man.

Basically Hyundai = Kia. Both have 5 years warranty.

So Tucson = Sportage. Same suspension, same engine, same transmission, same fuel consumption. Different looks & features for the Theta II variants.

Resale value, di na katulad dati.

Yeah, CX-7 is a great car. But the rear doesn't look good at all (no pun intended)

My vote goes to the Tucson & Sportage (that's why we have both)

I have to visit a KIA dealership soon to see if their vehicles are for me. I agree that the CX-7 is ugly at the rear. But part of my choice would be driving experience, since this car will serve as my toy for a few years. Thanks for the input man.

Visited the Kia dealership today in Alabang. Love how the sportage look. It's a really beautiful thing to look at. But unfortunately, the interior is too small for me and the price tag indeed showed in the interior with the lack of amenities and toys. What caught my attention though was the Sorento. Perfect size for me and the driving position is excellent. But to pay more than 1.6m for the premium to get all the goodies is too much and I think not worth the vehicle I'm getting.

Pareho lang.. Mukha lang mas malaki yung Sportage kasi macho yung design.

Wala pa bagong Tucson. MMC lang siguro next year. Projector headlights I think. Bago na rin yung key fob ng lower variants ng Tucson as of June 2011..
