Planning To Buy But Can't Decide Which One (StaFe/Sportage/Montero/Fortuner)

Depends sa needs at lifestyle.

For purely city driving and occasional out of town trips- Sta Fe or Sorrento.
For city driving coupled with out of town with off roading - MS or Fortuner and even Everest are the better choices.

From my experience, I was torn between the Sta Fe and MS. But because me and my family are doing a lot of island hopping adventures, I picked the MS. Dont expect Sta Fe can take you to Sagada and for it to come back with the same state as you leave. My brother found it the hard way.

The labels SUV, AUV are confusing to me. Who knows what those labels mean today anymore. Naooffend pa yata ang natatawag na AUV. Why not classify them as either ladder frame or unibody (monocoque)?

Santa Fe for me. You can't argue with something that has the latest in diesel engine technology. Nakakaasar na yung mga offering ng hapon sa diesel, halatang tinitipid tayo. Pag tiningnan mo yung turbo, injectors, etc mga relatively luma na rin. Yung iba 1st gen pa nga yatang common rail systems. Meron pa dyan walang intercooler!

easy lang mga bro.. SUV means Sport Utility Vehicle. Pauso yan ng mga kano na mahilig sa "SPORTS" kaya bumibile ng sasakyan na kaya mag carry ng bikes, trailers, roof carriers etc. for out of town trips pero hindi ma sacrifice at ride quality.. yang ang SUV.. iba naman yung 4x4 off road vehicles gaya ng land cruiser etc... mapapansin nyo nga yung mga lumang modelo ng land cruiser eh pang harabas talaga lalo na sa africa pero luxury na din ang design nila ngayon.

sa mga ads nila lalo na sa US eh pinapakita yung sasakyan na mag camping or papakita na kasya yung bisikleta sa loob.

yung fortuner talaga matagtag daw. kasi yung kapatid ko bunso sumakay sa friend nya papunta tagaytay sa likod ng fortuner.. hindi naman mahilohin sa byahe yun pero nalula talaga siya pag uwi sa bahay hilong hilo.. ang take note sa amin lang niya sinabi at hindi sa friend niya.. so yung mga friend nyo na nakasakay sa likod ng fortuner nahihiya lang mag sabi yun na nahihilo sila kasi baka ma HURT kayo hehehe..

mas ok yung mas comportable kasi city driving ka naman at hindi ka naman aakyat palage ng bundok noh..

AUV. Hahaha. You're kidding me. :hysterical: You're comparing the Adventures to the Santa Fe ? Come on, boy.

It doesn't mean that SUV's are built for super off-roading. For sure, if you off-road your fortuner without slapping some mods on, eh masisira din yan.

Ang santa fe, SUV na may comfort. ;) Kumbaga in between the middle siya. Pero yung sasabihan ng AUV yun eh, panlalait naman.

Parang sinabihan na rin yung fortuner na el cheapo tapos walang kwenta sa sobrang tagtag.

santa fe is a crossover, designed for city driving with paved roads... with moderate off road capabilities ( if you get the 4x4). kung most of the time sa paved road ka naman the best ang santa fe

kung gusto mo pang off-road talaga, mag pick up ka na lang na may 4x4

huwag ninyong maliitin ang 4x4 ng santa fe:

yan ang problemah sa mga bumibile ng Fortuner, Montero, Everest and even yun mga pickup counter-parts nila

sa 365 days a year, ilan beses ka ba pupunta ng Sagada o Baguio o Cordillera o Mayon, baka five times a year sobra sobra na.

so the other remaining 360 days, tiis sa tagtag hahah.

i learned it the hard way also, my first brand new car was a 4x4 pickup strada 2nd gen. grabeh ang tagtag, parang araw-araw pinaparusahan ako ng diyos sa dala-dalang kong pasan sa krus.

pakiramdam ko may dala akong tangke araw-araw. those years I became so inefficent in traffic na minsan tamad na ako gumala

kaya nga natatawa na lang ako sa mga naka-patrol ngaun na nakikipag siksikan sa' tin sa greenhills/eastwood/ shang malls etc. sobrang stressed out siguro mga yun for a measily 10km bumper to bumper drive

kung sa adidas and nike shoes ang gym wear, nga ang mas mamahal yun magagaan eh. bakit ka na magsusuot ng combat fatigue sa sports event hahah. kaya nga sports eh
