    Sportage CRDi

    You can already get a Sorento on that budget as well.

    Or even a sorento!

    How much ba ang cx-5? Mukhang maganda reviews ng owners nito...

    If going for petrol models, Forester (NA) or CX5. If going the 5-seater CRDi option, then the Sorento 5-seater. If you want a compact 7-seater, you can look at the Carens (though not really an SUV). Going for ladder-frame 7-seater diesels, the Montero Sport VGT, Fortuner VNT, and Ford Everest are still within your budget.

    yup, the 5 seater sorento lx a/t is only 1.365M before discounts. and the mt sells for only 1.270M.

    the mazda cx5 2.0 a/t is 1.452M.

    best bang for the buck is the sorento. just right price, nice power, good ride, and the biggest interior space (with the sta fe) among the cute utes. get the higher speced lx (with fog lights, roof rack, toneau cover, mud guards all thrown in) for 1.450M before discounts if you do not like the bare look. or the 4x4 for the same price (though think hard if you really need a 4x4, it's heavier and drinks diesel a lot faster).

    The ASX isn't a fuel guzzler anymore than the likes of RAV4, CRV, etc.

    The CVT tranny in the Lancer EX and ASX are doing pretty okay. No news of premature failure (unless it was raced often) even from the 2008 Lancer EX units.

    San budget na yan ser, either Montero or Fortuner na kukunin ko para may laban sa baha.
    Pero kung gusto mo talaga mejo maliit, CRV 7-seater pinaka okay for me.
    Pero kung papogian lang Mazda CX5 or Forester.

    Hyundai Tucson Love your own

    Kidding aside,

    For diesel - Sorento / Sportage
    For gas - Sportage / CR-V / Forester 2.0 / CX5

    The Rav4 is fast and efficient for 2.5L but bare.. :hammer:

    The Montero is nice, though being a pickup-based Thai SUV, quality and refinement is definitely not it's forte, especially when compared with CUVs, Korean and Japanese alike. Heck, it lags behind even it's Japan-designed and/or produced siblings in this department. It's really not that big, midsize sedans are longer and about just as wide. I'd go for this if you're after a sturdy ride with 7 seats for going through bad roads and floods. Ride quality is surprisingly good. Despite being a ladder frame vehicle, it is not jittery or bouncy at all.

    If you don't need a tough vehicle, I'd suggest the Sorento. You get loads of space, car-like ride and handling along with a powerful and fuel efficient engine. Even better if you are fine with driving stick. Now this is definitely a case of having the cake and eating it too.

    XV, FORESTER NA for GAS

    Sportage - diesel..

    BTW, Sorento and MS, hindi na yan sub compact SUV? Pero ako I prefer the Sorento over the sportage if we are not limiting the discussion to sub-compact SUV.

    Nakakalito nga po to, di ba puro compact to large na yung mga nabanggit, smallest being the asx? Akala ko sub-compacts are smaller SUVs the likes of jimny,mini pajero, ecosport.

    I'd go for diesel ride.

    If diesel ride, then Tucson, Sportage or Sorento, and probably Fortuner.... pero iyong 4x2 lang..... (Masyado nang mahal ang Sta Fe)...

    MS?,- pasintabi po sa mga may-ari nito, pero I've seen a couple of "V"s on the road na umuusok na,- wala pang plate number...
