Hello. First time buyer so I'm not familiar with the various brands and models and so the pros and cons of each. I'm looking to buy something with a bit more room than a sedan would provide so I'm looking at the SUV/MPV/AUV segment.

Budget is around 1M after financing so I'm left with the following choices, along with my comments (as well as my friends' comments, which are usually about the negative aspects of the car)

1. Hyundai Tucson - Big car, great looks. I have not heard so much about this car, other than what I have found so far on this forum.
2. Mitsubishi Fuzion - Looks roomy and is a step up from the Adventure but it seemed not to have clicked in the Philippines so it worries me that there might be something wrong with it that I have not read about
3. Toyota Innova - It's pretty popular. So much so that your car would blend in with those which serve as shuttle services and taxis. On the plus side, parts would certainly not be a problem.
4. Mitsubishi Adventure Sport GLS - Was actually the first choice but then considering the other drivers who would be female, decided to check A/T models. That and the rather dated look which doesn't seem too much changed.
5. Ford Escape - Looks to be similar to the Tucson but the resale value isn't quite good (although it escapes me why you would consider selling it even before buying it lol )

However, if push comes to shove, I have whittled down my sedan choices:
1. Honda City
2. Honda Civic
3. Toyota Altis
4. Toyota Vios
5. Mitsubishi Lancer

Any comments towards selecting the best choice per segment would be appreciated, kind gents and ladies. :D Any worthy additions to the list are welcome, on the off chance that I selected the worst representatives. hahaha
