How much is your budget exactly? Ever considered the Koreans? The Sorento CRDi is quite nice. You get the high ground clearance, lots of punch and good gas mileage too. Can't get any better than that.
Tamang hinala lang HAHAHAHAHA putragis naman GTi kahit anong paraan talaga basta maisingit lang ang Koreano gagawin mo talaga.
Among the choices, Forester XT ako, next is Ranger Wildtrak then Toyota Rav-4.
