    Kia forte koup vs. Tucson gl or fortuner/everest

    I know they don't belong to the same segment but the pricing are bit close and I'm undecided what to get....
    I've driven m/t as my practice car but I'm more comfortable on a/t.

    I'll be using it as school service my route to school takes about 1km. And on weekends a 50km drive to my parents. Which of the four you guys think is the best. Usually it's just me and my sister.but sometimes it might be used for trips to manila. I'll be using the car until I graduate which is about 5 years...

    Whats the budget?

    Why have you narrowed down your choices to these kimchi vehicles?

    What was your practice vehicle?

    I used a first gen innova base model as my practice car.

    I currently owned a lynx. . I'm just planning what to buy in the near future. . . I'm living in province. So traffic isn't a problem. But i just like a/t it's much more convenient for me.

    Stick with Japanese vehicles, Toyota Fortuner, Mitsubishi Montero Sport or the new Toyota Innova.

    Also consider the need of your parents. Coming from a lynx PPVs could be too challenging for the folks to get in/out. I assume they are paying for it since you are still schooling.

    You're lucky. I only got a corolla for college. I'd choose the Fortuner, well because it's a Toyota. I'd wait it out though since I read here that some units are having issues

    If getting a CUV, for 1.5M, it will be either a Forester 2.0i-L or CX5 2.0L Pro.

    If you want something quick and fun to drive, you have the Civic 1.5L Turbo or Focus 1.5L Ecoboost or Mazda3 2.0R SkyActiv.

    If you want a diesel SUV around 1.5M, you can opt for the Montero Sport or MU-X. The Everest AT and Fortuner AT are priced above 1.5M already.

    I'm still not sure what my dad is getting for himself... So I'm still crazy head... I will read some reviews of fortuner. And yes its a "toyota'' so maintenance will be less worry.

    the guy is still in college (freshman, since he did say school service for 5 years) so i don't think his parents are old. Probably late 40s to early 50s. Kaya pa umakyat ng bundok nyan.

    btt. 1 km lang layo ng bahay nyo sa school? And it's in the province so wala traffic? Had you considered using a bicycle?
    Ford everest trend 2.2 4x2 a/t (1.539M) or isuzu mux 3.0 lsa 4x2 a/t (1.428) fits your budget.
    Pasok pa din ang tucson (1.558M, add ka 58k) but why get a smaller crossover when you can get a medium sized suv?

    If i use a bicycle I'd be sweating when i get into my classroom. Mainit din po kasi dito. Tapos dun sa 1km hindi pa po kasama campus dun.... My dad will be turning 41 this year.

    Yea the brz is good. I'm planning to be a bachelor for at least 2 years after graduating. So the forte is one. It's just priced a million. Can't afford the brz coz I'm planning to save up for my future house while at process of financing a car. And maybe a coffee shop..

    The first time i saw an mux i was shocked coz i didn't know it yet. Then i had to look at the hatch-door for the model name.
