    consider the innova diesel. relatively cheap to use. very matibay. also ugly. but who cares? heh heh.
    the gas models in your choices are relative gas guzzlers. whatever oil change advantage these may have over the diesels, is probably made up for in the smaller fuel costs of the diesels.
    monty diesel is ok. my non-preference for it is of a personal nature. and i do not believe in its SUA problem.
    good luck.

    I believe in SUA. It happened to me when I was driving our CR-V 98. I was depressing the brakes as I park. Then I saw that I was still moving!

    I continued depressing the brakes as there was a car in front of me. However, the car continued to accelerate.

    I was starting to panic! Then I had the inspiration to pull the handbrake.

    Then it hit me! I came to my senses and realized that I have stopped the car a long time ago. It was the car besides me that was moving.

    Funny but it makes me dizzy when this happens, especially when I'm on a bus at bus terminals. Weird.

    A good choice would be a used Toyota Innova ... then a Toyota Fortuner or Mitsubishi Montero Sport ... If you are still new to owning vehicles and budget is a concern, better to get a Honda or Toyota ... Avoid Ford, Subaru and / or Mazda ...

    Sirs, problem with Innova is same price sya ng mga CUV's, which are better looking hehehe. Wala naman ba prob ang diesel na Innova?

    Also, would a 2009 Montero still make sense now at around 550k?

    Again, one of the better things about pre-owned vehicles, other than they have already taken the beat due to depreciation, is that you can choose your plate ending number.... (assuming with assigned plate number na....) ... Yeah!.....

    Bros- nag-upgrade ba ng VNT and lumang modelo ng Innova? (just like the old model of the Fortuner?)...

    No bro. It was just the standard wastegated turbo without an intercooler for the 1st gen Innova.

    The best thing to check if youre car is still moving is to look at a lamp post or any immovable structure.. if that structure moves then youre car is moving!

    2nd hand kasi kaya ko cash and ayoko mag amortization
    Planning to use it mga 5-7 years
    I have one toddler and planning to add another
    Mostly city driving, Makati - Ortigas route, occasional out of town trips
    Office worker, so sabak sa traffic to
    Minimal car knowledge, but I plan to take Honda Safety Driving Center. Supposedly tinuturo din nila basics ng car repair etc.

    Primarily reliability, maintenance, space, comfort, and fc concern ko though I know hindi maganda fc ng CUV's but I would need the space
    Resale value after 5-7 years, ok na ako sa cguro 100k - 200k na resale


    Choices:

    CRV 2012/2013 - around 650k (estimate based sa prices sa olx and philkotse)
    Montero 2011 - around 650k
    Xtrail 2012/2013 - around 450k
    CRV 2011 - around 500k
    ASX 2012


    Concerns:

    Cost of maintenance of Montero vs others
    FC of Xtrail vs value (year model vs price); worth it ba xtrail bilhin compared to others given na mas bago pa and mas mura?
    +150k worth it sa CRV 2012/2013 model vs 2011?

    Please enlighten me on my choices above and ano piliin nyo in case
    Sa choices mo.. pasok yung montero..

    Pero consider mo din innova..

    :
    If I may stray from the choices, you might want to look at midsized sedans. Usually it is priced much lower and yet it offers great space and comfort.

    Don't expect about getting anything from resale value.

    Going back to your choices, I am leaning towards Montero as far as fuel consumption is concerned. Just take note that the engine is noisy compared to other choices that you have. Some hate the noise of a diesel engine.

    You may consider a 2nd gen Hyundai Santa Fe CRDI, pasok sa budget mo...nice engine, seats 7, good FC at mura din lang ang parts outside sa casa.

    ang hanapin mong montero yun gumamit ng engine Pajero Bk, yun 4m40 ba yun kasi sigurado SUA Free yun

    ang may SUA suspect ko yun mga 4d56, usually yun mga cheaper monteros like the non-vgt kasi dun nandaya ang Mitsu, sinalpak nila engine ng 80s L300FB

    to be safe just get the GT Monteros, yun ang TOTL eh, SUA free yun
