February 5th, 2021 11:44 AM #72The CR-V 1.6 S Diesel is out of the budget so we can only choose between the S gas or the V diesel if we go the CR-V route. We did also consider the CX-5 but we can only afford the FWD Pro and that has the i-Stop feature that has expensive batteries right? And the space is a bit off-putting but we can live with that's since it's just the two of us in our household. I'm just not sure if the base CX-5 is good for it's price.
We're also looking into the Innova as it's practical and but the design is a bit too plain. As for the Hilux, we have no plans to get a pick-up as the bed won't be use much if at all. The Geely Okavango is unproven yet so we're still hesitant on getting our first car from a Chinese brand.
Right now it looks like the Montero is a really good choice. It being a smaller PPV is a plus since it won't be as hard to maneuver as other PPVs
The Kona is too small for us and we also plan on buying a long-term vehicle so a bigger one would be better.

Okay mga iyan sa isolated island province.
Consider din ang tire replacement cost. Mandated na ng LTO mag palit tires every 5 years.

February 5th, 2021 04:36 PM #74Dont be worried about the CX-5 and Mazda's "special battery". Iit doesnt have to Yuasa brand, just look for EFB /Enhanced Flooded Battery (AC Delco, Panasonic etc) with the more or less equivalent specs with stock (Cold Cranking Amps and Dimensions).
I would still consider the Everest Trend 2.2L though its a bit larger on the outside but it translates to a bigger space inside with roomier and adjustable 2nd Row seats. The CR-V actually has a better 2nd row than all of the 7seater PPVs.
Bump up your budget to 1.9M you can get the Fortuner 2.8L Q. 1st tier PPV diesel engine (200hp, maybe as fast as the Ford bi-turbo), Adaptive cruise, Lane Keep Assist, Toyota brand, resale and (perceived) reliability.

March 17th, 2021 10:30 PM #76Fortuner Q or Montero GT 4x2? We're leaning on the Fortuner since it looks like it has better features and there's a dealership in Mindoro so we don't have to travel by sea to service it. We'll have to stretch out the budget a bit but we're fine with that if it means we get a quality vehicle that we won't regret purchasing.
The only thing we see that's a knock on the Fortuner Q compared to the Montero GT 4x2 is the ride quality. Is the difference between the two's ride quality that significant?

March 18th, 2021 06:21 AM #79Go for the q 4x2 nalang sir. Mejo stiff lang ang ride pero the 2.8l is already at 200hp and 500nm torque, so it's more powerful than the 2.4l of the ms. Third row seats tho is not flat folding pa. If gusto niyo ng alternative, try checking out the nissan terra. Mejo plain nga lang interior but it has good build quality.

Be careful with channels like "China Observer" on YouTube. There is a clear bias in their posts and...
