I am open for suggestions for a 2nd hand 4x4 family car.
I will use it mainly for city driving, frequent travel to laguna and monthly travel to Bicol. I am planning a 5 door vehicle so our dogs won't be sitting with our little girl. With one child, we often times travel with lots of stuff. My wife will be the one driving it in times when I am not in the country or when I am heavily intoxicated.

MY two choices are between CRV 4x4 or vitara 4x4 ( both A/T para hindi manibago misis).
Here are the things I am considering:
1.Fuel efficiency
2. SAFETY features ( ABS,AIRBAGS,SIDE IMPACT BEAMS, etc )
3.Parts availabilty
4.driving comfort
5.Price range ( 200k - 320k)

I have read some forumns regarding VITARA and is willing to enhance its suspension.A little lift ng konti saka snorkel, Pang lusong na sa baha.Looking at the older models, most of them does not come with an airbag so it raises a concern .
With CRV, I always liked its "car feel" interior. Saka mukhang ok na kahit stock.
I also considered a HILUX SURF pero mukhang masyado na malaki ang makina.

Please feel free to give your 2 cents.

Thanks.
