Hyundai Tucson (Crdi) 2005 vs Ford Escape 2004-2006

[kevrhay]

Hello! This is my first post here in Tsikot. (Im just lurking for almost 6 months!)

I need your opinion guys as we are to buy a second hand (Compact or midsized)SUV.
the budget is up to 550k

Namimili ako dito sa dalawa:

Tucson (Crdi variant)/(Gas Variant:if ever na 7-8 km/L) 2005-2007
Ford Escape (2.0 - 2.3) 2004 - 2006

*FC
*Ride quality
*performance
*maintenance
and others

I know na Tucson Crdi ang panalo talaga sa FC pero
if Gas Tucson vs Escape kaya?
at kung hindi naman nalalayo sa CRV 2nd gen ang FC,eh baka CRV na nga lang ^_^

Pero bago ako nag end sa dalawang yan eto pa yung iba kong pinagpilian:
-Crosswind
-CR-V 2000-2004( 2004 model sana kaso gas guzzler eh)
-Nissan X-Trail (may lalabas na bago ang Nissan so maphase out ito?)
-Rav4 (2001-2005) (this is my pick kaso mahal talaga eh)

I'd pick either between the Tucson CRDi and the X-Trail.

If picking the Escape, forget the 2.0 variant. More weaker and less fuel efficient than the 2.3L.

Crosswind is ok but if you're using the car all the time by yourself (ie family trips are rare), compact suvs are better choices, and the third row seats are useless in this matter.

Let us know what you really need more.

Tucson CRDi or X-Trail.

Yung bagong X-Trail last year pa lumabas pero buhay pa naman ngayon yung Tokyo Edition eh.

I'm kinda leaning towards a compact SUV because of the looks ^_^ though sometimes we really need a space.
I'll be using this mostly for going to school and family trip(biweekly).(We are 5 in the family).

The Tucson gen 1 looks good kapag nabihisan na rin. Try to install the OEM 17s or 18s ng 2010 Tucson, bagay brad.

Is the FC of the Tucson Gas variant that bad? would it be the same as the x-trails? kasi if same lang naman then ill go for the x-trail
