    Necro time! Visiting some showrooms and the new shortlist:

    1. Toyota Innova E 2.8AT
    2. Ford Everest Trend
    3. Honda Mobilio

    Still thinking about the Carens and MU-X (just not feeling it).

    Drive test are scheduled save for the Innova and baka end of the year Bili. Maganda ba discounts sa pasko?

    Of the three, yung Trend may pinaka maraming safety features if yun ang priority niyo, but if more on family use, mas flexible and spacious Innova. Btw Innova V has stability assist if I'm not mistaken plus captain seats sa 2nd row. I don't really like Everest's 2nd row mechanism. Almost sprained my right foot nung tinry ko bumaba from 3rd row :/

    Ang mu-X kasi IMO has the best combination of safety and convenience features for under 1.4M, pero I think yung 2016 models (new colored information display + added cruise control) 1.42M na which comes near the 2.2 Trend's price. Plus the engines used have been in production for almost a decade I think? Dumadaan lang sa upgrades and revisions. Another plus for proven and reliable engine + parts availability.

    Everest pa lang. Surprisingly light steering. Ride quality is like my City. considering it was a first time driving diesel, maganda naman response pero need to get used to the power...

    Parang maikli lang yung session and i was to focused on avoiding accidents na di ko masyado na pagmasdan yung dash or butingtingin yung head unit. Baka next week meron na daw Innova.

    A. Diesel (unless you can make a case for a gas SUV/MPV)
    B. Good aircon
    C. Budget of 1.5M or 25k to 30k per month for 5 years
    D. Mostly city driving so dapat enjoy i-drive kahit traffic
    E. decent space for people and stuff.
    F. Matic

    Here's a shortlist so far:
    wow good lol jswea calldsfgasgsadf
    1. Volkswagen Touran
    + Euro (mababaw na reason, but I've always wanted a European car)
    + Enticing safety features.
    + Cruise control!
    - A little above budget yung TDI variant
    - Wife thinks mainit sa mata even though mundane ang design
    - Baka taga sa maintenance at mahirap maghanap ng mechanic for it after warranty.
    +/- No idea what manual aircon means

    2. Isuzu mu-X
    +/- Popular so madaming kapareho pero ibig sabihin baka maganda demand ng parts at mechanics
    + Wife really loves the look
    +/- Push start
    + Nice entertainment system
    - less safety features (relatively speaking)

    3. Kia Carens
    + Some say it's better than the Touran, no idea
    - least features of the 3
    +/- again, what does manuel aircon?

    4. Any other suggestion na hindi Innova / Avanza - no offense sa 2, pero I feel lazy just picking those two. Bang for the buck I know, pero if I can afford a little more to get something slightly unique or better why not diba? At least at the end of the day, kung wala talaga Innova na. As for Ford or Chevy, medyo same issues with VW and I've heard (alam mo naman tayong mga pinoy with hearsay) na may issues daw sa quality mga American cars. Pero I'm open naman to it, if my fears can be eased or something to that extent.

    Yun lang po, sana pa makakuha kahit konting tulong at wisdom. Thank you all!

    The way I see it kasi, the Eve is my 1st target... The Innova is the consolation price kundi kayanin ng budget whole the mobilio is pretty much the worst case scenario.

    In case hindi pa kayo nakabili sir, to be honest the MUX or any other SUV's in the market does not give justice to the third row seats. Accessibility is such a hassle. I fyou really want comfort, I suggest you go with a VAN. It can accommodate more people. yun naming volks, problem for that is the availability of spare parts. Since you mentioned "Future proof" might as well consider the maintenance part of it.

    My dad keeps insisting on buying a 7-seater SUV but all of them are really expensive and I keep telling him this. lol. Gusto ko naman kasi crossovers lang para mura (slightly) at mataas pa rin in case magkaroon ng floods. We only have 5 people at max when the cars are filled anyway so seating wouldn't be a problem at all.

    Which brings me to this question: What are some good Crossovers out there? Budget would be around 1.4m below or 28k below monthly (5 years)

    SUV.CUV. Crossover. AUV. MPV.
    are there real differences here?
    or, are they defined so as to make it appear that one is "superior" over the other?
    what does one have, that the other does not have?
    this has always confused me.

    IMHO crossovers offer very poor value for money. They're not much cheaper than PPVs, especially the diesels. They're much smaller too and not as tough. Their sedan origins also mean they perform poorly off road and have mediocre flood wading capabilities.

    I suggest you consider the base variant PPVs. The road presence and toughness are definitely there, and even if they are base variants, all "necessities" like power amenities, dual AC and a decent sound system are already included. If you change the rims, no one would even know that it's a base variant.

    And then there's the Santa Fe 4x2 M/T... 😍

    A friend has already decided on the tucson and I told him to think it out again and look at it objectively. The MUX, Montero or Eve trend should be considered. All's good with novelty but when time takes its toll on the vehicle, he might regret his decision, especially when priorities change.

    But have you seen the new Haima v70? :D Same specs as the Innova V, minus the diesel though. :D And has a 400K difference! I am really really torn between the Innova E and Haima v70..

    In case the choice goes down to the Innova, the Innova V interior is actually very roomy. Pilot seats for the middle row makes for a real comfortable ride (for the passengers).

    I'm looking at it as a matter of function rather than labels... Hence you have me picking between a ppv, a couple of. Mpvs and with the emergence of th br-v, a CUV... In which case I still don't care what's it called or what segment it belongs to, I just want one that fits my need. And no that isn't a van... 3rd row for me isn't going to get used majority of the time, but it's more of a point of having it and not needing it instead of needing it but not having it.

    Finally tried the Innova earlier today. Ride was good. Steering is on the heavy sid. Ride height is not a problem. I'll probably be getting the G model.

    I do have a Haima7 that is more than 4 years old. I busted my tail light before, was replaced in 1 week. Nagclaim ako insurance, pinaayos ko sa labas. Bumili sila sa Haima nung tail light. The whole assembly was replaced. Maybe sakit sa bulsa is the correct term for Haima parts. As for sure, they will be expensive. Not really sakit sa ulo, kasi mabilis naman.
