Need your help in deciding which is the best family car. We are going to use the car 90% of the time in the city. We also like going to Batangas/Tagaytay once in a while.

Both are very close in terms of price. Both are also good in terms of looks, but I have no experience with Honda or Kia cars (Only Mitsubishi and Toyota). What we are generally looking for in a car are:

-Riding Comfort
-Fuel Economy
-Good After-sales service

I think value for both cars is quite good, but I still have some questions before i can decide which to choose. The CR-V's is very nice to drive and I personally like the interior, but is the 2.0 i-vtec engine as capable under a full load. I have a big family (we are 5) and most of us are on the heavy side .

I haven't test driven the Sorento (no test drive unit), but since it is diesel I believe there will be fuel savings in the long run. I am still not sure about quality, parts availability and after sales service. Hopefully, I would hear some feedback from Sorento owners on this.

Thanks for your help.
