I have been reading threads these past weeks. I hope you could help me with this one in choosing between the two with the following factors--
> Engine Performance including body roll, traversing wet and bumpy roads etc.
> After Sales Service esp. PMS, Availability of parts, Warranty issues
> NVH
> Reliability and Dependability. The 2014 US Dependability Study Rating did not feature ratings for the particular above models.
> Infotainment System
> Value for money, also Resale Value
> Practicality in terms of:
-- Having an old passenger like my parent (ie Ground Clearance),
-- Carrying heavy loads like 2 sacks of rice etc when coming from the province,
-- Passable floods with below knee Depth,
-- Occasional light off-roads like gravel/rocks and sands,
-- Confidence on the vehicle with regard to seldom accidental running over stray dogs, grazing goats and medium-size debris that fall from trucks etc on the road which do happen. These are all typical scenarios when traveling to the province. The latter happened to me with my Monty and Strada and just had insignificant/minimal effect. I am satisfied with my Mitsus, but I want to try other rides.

Thanks!
