Ford Escape XLS AT vs. Kia Sportage LX MT

[spidermatrix]

I need your opinion regarding these 2 SUVs. I know they are different but these are the 2 SUV models that fits my budget of 1M. Sportage is at 988k while Escape comes at around 1M with discount.

Design wise, I think Sportage is better. In terms of features though, it seems Escape. I'm inclined to go with Escape because it's already AT. However, I think the new Escape model is about to come out next year. So if I buy it now, parang luma na agad next year unlike the Sportage na very modern ang looks.

Pag bumili ka naman talaga ng Escape, mukhang luma talaga. It hasn't gone through a major redesign since 2003 IIRC. Puro cosmetic upgrades but the overall design is still the same.

I'd say you extend a little and go for eiter the Tucson GLS or Sportage EX instead.

2001 pa lumabas ang Escape. Kahit san mo tignan. Luma pa din talaga sya. Imagine gen 1 CRV inabutan pa nya, eh gen 4 na CRV ngayon. That should give you a hint.

I'd go with jut703's suggestion. Save up a bit more for the Sportage EX. The Escape is way too old already.

Thanks for the comments. I think it's quite obvious na hindi na attractive ang Escape. OK ba ang MT sa mga SUV or should I really go for the EX AT ng Sportage?

only you can answer that. i prefer manual, that would be a perfect model for me. base with manual tranny. cos i like driving manuals.

The Escape is a beautiful car. Yes it's old but its a really feminine car making it really gorgeous.

The Sportage looks really tough and modern. But if you're comparing a TOTL car to a Base one, might as well get the TOTL.

The Sportage looks real nice. Manual tranny should also give you better performance and gas mileage and its a lot more modern than the Escape inside and out.

But if this is more of a keeper car, I'd suggest you get the Escape. It has proven itself as a tough and reliable car since 2003.
