Two key things to consider - choice and means. If you have the means, you have more choices.
For most people, the PPV is an affordable and frugal option for a utility vehicle. It may not offer the comfort and performance of the more refined CUVs, midsize or full-size SUVs but it gets the job done. Of course, marami iba dyan di talaga magpatalo - laitin mo na lahat, wag lang kotse nila.
On my end, my preference is for a CUV. My XT drives very well - quicker and faster than most cars on the road, tall enough but handles like a big sedan. It is comfortable enough for 5 people and the trunk offers enough space. It has good ground clearance (more than 8” like PPVs) and it has a very capable AWD system. I guess those capabilities are enough to call it sporty.
If I have 3M to spare for another SUV, then it is the Explorer for me. If it’s 5M, then an LC300. Sabi ni misis wala muna kotse unless company car. Hehehehe
