Maintenance/PMS
So far my experience at the casa (valle verde branch) has been hassle free since I have bought my ASX. The ASX shares major mechanical parts with the Lancer EX 2.0.
Conclusion:
The ASX would be just right. Its small enough to be easy to drive in even the tightest of spots but big enough to have it's "presence" felt when driving around other cars. Although not the most powerful SUV/CUV, it has an engine that provides enough performance to match the handling of the chassis. You would feel confident to drive this CUV through anywhere in any type of weather.
