I would presume that you prefer the Ford Everest over Alterra under given preferences . . . Ford Everest seems to be cheaper as well than Alterra.
Yes, the Everest matches the Alterra in the toys department, has more power, is also very good off road and has a 5 speed A/T- a feature not found in any else in its class. But do you need the offroad capability? These SUVs have very uncomfortable 3rd rows. I'd suggest you go for the Grand Starex or the Carnival. Both are very fast and comfortable as well.
