adventure gls sport VS crosswind XUV

Why not just buy a Strada DiD? starts at 855k only. Very good crash ratings in Europe and USA, proven engine block. No chokes whatsoever. Very fast, nice ride too. It's very decent to be used as an office car or a business vehicle.

The Santa Fe CRDI VGT which I immersed in windshield deep flood (Araneta Ave) never had a problem for 3yrs already so this fear of common-rail is unfounded (except if you're gonna choose a Toyota D-4D which is kind of a lottery

or worse, Isuzu 4JX1 <trooper '03>).

If we're gonna submit to the premise to buy only proven stuffs, then we'll never progress into the next generation of technology. We'd be stuck driving around steam engined cars.

We had a water-in-fuel scenario back then (here in manila of all places!!!) but all you have to is drain the fuel filter by loosening a little nut (its plug). That's it. After the water is gone, it'll go as if nothing happened again. It will not be damaged because when the computer senses that there's water, it will warn you through the instrument cluster panel (where the speedo is) and it will not go beyond 60kmh. Since you'll get used to driving at 160kmh around manila, you'll definitely notice that.

If I were you, I'd get a Strada 2.5 or a Montero Sport 2.5 (though for the MS, I would've prefered a 5MT than a 4AT).

Carens is a very good choice too. Kind of sayang though kung pang-business since it's very nice.

Anyway, good luck.

ganun talaga pag proven na and reliable pa

you know when i get my XTO (top of the line 'to in '01 ha?

) pinaka mura siya compared to Adventure and Revo but now kita mo? you know what i mean.

it's very cheap to maintain. 4 liters of oil every 4-5K kms, replacement filters (air, oil and fuel) cost around 200 each, it has a separate water separator so you can drain it as often as you want, FC at 12.+ kms/li on the manual tranny. then saan ka pa?

and i agree with HP, if you can afford the 1M++ carens, why not consider the faster and also reliable Mitsu DI-Ds Strada and Montero Sport 4X2? konti nalang dagdag mo.

good luck and wag magmadali
