been eyeing a sorento for my 'upgrade' but the other day i saw a relatively 'cheap' 05 explorer xlt (800+) and got tempted. what are your thoughts between the two? i'm not taking it off-road or anything, nor do i need a really big car. i'm just upgrading from my current sedan coz its the same coding day as my other car and i definitely need some extra space. family of four w/ occasional lola or tita riding on occasional out-of-town trips. TIA for your advice

dude, get the explorer. di naman yan ganon ka lakas sa gas.
before we hesitate to own a v8 powered ford because of the saying its "gas-guzzler" pero when we own one, hindi naman pala ganon. its how you drive, not what you drive.
explorer is more luxurious and elegant IMO.
get the ford.

February 25th, 2009 04:13 PM #5Sorrento....the XLT consumes an average of 3-4 kpl.
Tumataas pa gas ngayon. and it will not go lower. Maglalaro lang yan to at most 30 pesos/liter.

February 25th, 2009 06:37 PM #7thanks for the opinions peeps! i really prefer the sorento crdi sana, na tempt lang ako 'coz of the explorer's price...
1d4lv, is the 3-4 from experience? i was hoping for 5-6 w/ non-heavy foot driving....
*memphis, yup, the sorento models were introduced here 04 yata, gas version. 05 was the start of the crdi version if i'm not mistaken
