Nissan Juke vs Suzuki Vitara

[Eevie]

Test drove the Juke, I like the way it drives but the wifey does not like the back seat area. Too cramped, she feels that the ceiling is too low (sloping). And it's Euro 2 engine. Euro 4 compliant ones will be arriving by January with an increase in price daw.

Actually first choice ko talaga is Nissan Juke since nagagandahan ako sa style nya na unique, and Maganda naman interior nya di mukang cheap tignan. Na test drive ko na din siya and I was satisfied naman, very comfortable siya sa loob and maganda ung handling nya. medyo nahirapan lang ako i arangkada siya, siguro dahil 5 kami nun and medyo uphill ung daan. I was planning to buy before year end dahil nga sa excise tax,but nag aalangan ung brother ko sa juke since nasisikipan siya sa likod, pang 3 seat max lang kasi and ung trunk nya medyo maliit so gusto nya sana mas malaki pa, (he owns a honda city vx,which mas malaki nga ung trunk space) kaya nag aalangan siya eto ung bilhin ko, ang dinadahilan ko nalang is ako lang naman ang gagamit at wala ko masyadong isasakay. from home to work lang naman usually ung byahe ko. single eh..

Then lumabas etong Suzuki Vitara. sinilip ko yung specs nya and pricing napaisip tuloy ako, okay din naman ung design, (pero trip ko padin Juke). maganda yung mga inclusion nya like ung sa Vitara GLX variant is 11” touch screen, 17”alloy wheels,sunroof(though di daw sabi ng iba),6 airbags, front and back parking sensor..
saka mas malaki ung space nya. so tingin ko mas okay siya if icocompare mo ung pricing and mga inclusion nya sa car.
Planning to but the metallic red and black tone ng GLX, naghahanap lang ng suzuki branch na may available na na unit. sabi nung iba january pa daw, while may nakausap ako by end week of december daw may delivery na ng GLX, laging GL+ na lang kasi available sa mga dealers eh.

sana makahanap ako kahit outside metro manila.

married with kids or planning to have kids? go for safety and space. 6 airbags are way better than 2. and space, that is one thing you can never add as an upgrade. pag maliit kotse mo kahit baliktarin mo yan maliit pa din yan. especially if gagamit ka ng car seat para kay baby (highly advised for safety) mas maganda ang maluwang na kotse. ang liit ng juke, kahit anong adjust namin ng anak ko sa front row seats masikip, ang liit ng leg room for both front and rear passengers. e kung may baby car seat ka sa likod paano pa kaya? so between your 2 choices i'd go for the vitara.
