Looking for the best crossover from 800k- 1.3M

[Vodka]

Tow hitches are a problem in the Philippines for vehicles without much ground clearance, lalo na pag puno yung sasakyan ng passengers. I think the Kicks is on the low side compared to other crossovers.

Maybe a roof mounted cargo box or rack might be better?

kaya yan. check this out, saw it yesterday. xpander with a 100+ kg moto hitched

problem w/ roof mount spare tire is it's quite difficult to physically lift to get the spare tire up there

Pwede ka na sa baduy car thread [emoji23][emoji3577]

parang baliktad yung definition mo of baduy. for me if it's practical and utilitarian, it's cool. pero pag stupid body kits or some doodad stuck on w/ double-sided tape that serve no purpose, then it's baduy

Exactly, my car for 10 years, changed the tires once but never used the spare tire. Huwag lang pipilitin ng over 40k kms, halos nil ang chance na mapako.

well,
i had more flat tyre events than i can remember. in a few of them, the tyres were so torn, they were utterly un-repairable.
i guess the incidence of flats increases when one's route includes less-than-perfect road surfaces.
my strangest "pako", was a one-peso coin.

In my mind, nagiging dealbreaker ung spare tire ng Kicks. Those tire repair kit is not for the uninitiated.

Next problem with a tow hitch is that your sensors dont work and your camera could be obstructed. Maybe Nissan should have retuned the suspension and increased the price a bit for run-flat tires then it could be a feature that isnt available in that price range. Its a benefit for people who would struggle to change a spare on their own and its much safer to just drive with a flat rft then have to change your tire in a suspicious place

Putting non-rft tires and finding a donut will be the second owner's problem

matagtag ang run flat and there's no amount of suspension tweaking that could fix it coz when you go up against physics, physics always wins

they should've just relocated the battery to accommodate the spare tire. but no they took the shortcut parang sa terra there's a stupid bunch of wires and a big connector sitting on the frame, very low to the ground, exposed to water and mud parang mahilig sa shortcut si nissan

Reviving this thread. Currently, what's our best bet for this? The Kicks is a little over the 1.3M price tag. But I heard the Toyota Corolla & Yaris Cross still uses NMH battery vs. Li-Ion for the Kicks?

For the Kicks, since Nissan extended the battery to 8 years. Does it follow na dapat 8 years ka din required magpa PMS sa casa?

or regardless basta the batteries intact ang warranty to 8 years?

Ano na kaya nabili ni TS?

[dr. d]

i asked my colleague with the e-power, what his biggest concern was.
initially, sabi niya, "my fuel savings will probably go to the purchase of the replacement battery after a few years".
more recently...
"baha". the vents for the battery cooling, are just under the feet, daw.
"so what do you do?"
"pag umu-ulan, i drive my hyundai suv."

honga,
naka-pili na kaya si TS?
or maybe, he's like me, taking 6 months or so, to finally make the decision.
