    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:

    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).

    Sportage CRDi

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

    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.

    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.

    2014 Subaru Forester!
    Before we decided on this we were also considering the Tucson and the CX5 but when you put them head to head the forester's features stands out.

    Safety: it has 8 airbags, traction control.
    Performance: proven and tested naman na ang boxer engine and symmetrical awd ng subies. Plus the X-mode is now a standard even in a base model. You'll never know when you'll need it
    Comfort: since my family's a fan of soft and comfy rides ok sya cause they placed the engine lower so you'll get a lower center of gravity daw which results to less vibration.

    Fc: hway (conservative) I got 9.8L/100km or 10km/L according to the car which sounds about right.
    Hway (hataw) 13L/100km or 7.6km/L

    In city I average between 7-8km/L

    This is the base model btw. The non turbo 2.0 model. For 1.397m as its sticker price, it's worth every penny.

    Maintenance wise, you only have to take it to the shop every 8k km and it would cost you around 6.3k.
    The only advice of our agent is to maintain the comp insurance cause some parts are expensive like the headlight alone cost 120k and I'm not even sure if it's a pair already.

    I hope this helps!

    Nope, its just a normal HiD bulb that you can buy outside.
    My stock HiD bulb is still burning strong despite daily night time use for 5 years already.

    Try replacing the whole headlight of a Toyota Camry or a Fortuner. It has the same cost. 120k, as quoted by Casa.

    For sure yung bulbs pwede naman sa labas even yung generic hid's if you prefer that. Yung basag or sira lang talaga siguro upon collision yung sinasabi nya. Hehe
