    Yeah, I know the sentiments here, dami akong nakikitang ganyan, modified PPV but umiiwas sa lubak or they slow down, pero not me, but well unless kasama si misis that's when I slow down kasi baka mag reklamo. Every person has a reason naman why they bought PPV or SUV, yung iba na mention na ninyo here but yung ibang buyer have different reasons and not kasi bcoz of status symbol or nakiki-uso.

    Maganda SUV kasi mataas at maraming pwede ikarga. I used to drive my Kuya's Gen 1 Pajero going home to Laguna and I like the size of it, what I hate is it is so SLOW. Kulang na lang i floor ko yung gas pedal

    i know about SUVs tendency to tip over

    what i'm talking about is capacity to absorb collision

    because of the crumple zones. Cars? not that much.

    it's keeping up with friends and neighbors and kamaganak...

    parang "join the club"
    Dyan tayo magkakasundo uls, ako never ko dinadaan sa grabe baha mga suv ko, Baket, eh andami sensors kaya sa pang-ilalim. O2 sensors lang or ABS can trigger the check engine light eh, pa scan lang aabot na ng 5k sa casa.

    And offroading Ano ba yun? Bayad nga tayo ng bayad ng tax para sementuhin lahat dito , yan lang ang pinakikita ng pulitiko to show that taxes are working for you, tapos di mo pa gagsmitin. Imagine bile ka ng tig 2m na suv tapso sasabak mo sa putik , talo ka na carwash , pwde pa magka-dent at ma scrape off clear coat, and also sa mahal ng suspension parts ngaun para ka bumili ng smartphone tapos binato mo sa floor ang nangyari.

    Ano ba napapala sa offroading. Kung gusto mo wilderness e di magkabayo ka. Nature? No machine can beat nature, spaceship nga pinaka hightech na sa lahat. Bumabagsak pa din

    simply more mass to absorb collision



    -



    i'm looking for the video where a speeding sedan crashed into the side of an oncoming SUV

    nangyari yan sa P. Tuazon cubao 1 or 2 years ago

    i'm sure those people in the SUV are glad they're in an SUV

    -

    can't find the video

    pero i'm sure many of you have seen that video i'm talking about

    it would be a different story

    naalala ko when photos of the accident came out (nauna ang photos before the video) people on the internet were judging ung SUV daw may kasalanan

    kaya ang title ng video ni autoindustriya "don't be too quick to judge"

    anyway, going back to my point that SUVs are safer than sedans (yes i know mas prone to roll over ang SUVs coz of high center of gravity)

    mas kaya ng SUV mag absorb ng impact

    kung small car ang binangga ng altis malamang patay ang driver

    In a lot of provincial 2 way roads I've been on, bigger vehicles (trucks, buses, suvs etc) tend to counterflow even when there's not enough space to overtake. Having a bigger car deters that.

    But if you're in a sedan, good luck. Sometimes you'll have to brake to a full stop just so the counterflowing douche doesn't hit you. Might be another reason why some people prefer bigger cars.

    Still ... it's a matter of being able to avoid a collision rather than surviving one ...
