    They`re both overpriced seriously. I wouldnt recommend either of the two for you. Wouldnt you want to consider other brands? ( i.e. hyundai, mitsubishi, kia, toyota )

    But well, for the sake of comparison here are my observations....

    ALTERRA

    > Bigger
    > The entertainment system is really good ( the two 7" lcd screens mounted at the headrests )
    > The sound system is also good, considering that its still stock
    > Faster. ( It comes with 3.0 )


    SPORTIVO

    > Old style
    > Slow
    > Reliable when it comes to hauling packages/people
    > Good entertainment system



    OTHER CHOICES YOU CAN / MUST CONSIDER:

    > MONTERO SPORT
    > HYUNDAI SANTA FE
    > TOYOTA FORTUNER
    > KIA SORENTO

    The alterra`s price is in the 1.6 - 1.7m range right? Add up 150k then you could get a dodge nitro which is priced at 1.850

    If you can afford the SUV, get it rather than the AUV.

    For all its negative comments which hinges on its overall looks and being pricey, the Alterra has

    -better ride than a Fortuner.
    -better cabin trim than the Montero Sports.
    -a more thrifty engine compare to the Everest.
    -more sturdy than the Sorento.
    -more offroad capability than a Sta. Fe.

    Ito ang choice ng mga tigasin.

    -better ride than a Fortuner. True
    -better cabin trim than the Montero Sports. Debateable
    -a more thrifty engine compare to the Everest. True
    -more sturdy than the Sorento. Debateable
    -more offroad capability than a Sta. Fe. Debateable

    We could also say...
    -worse ride than the Santa Fe
    -worse cabin trim than the Everest
    -not as sturdy (engine-wise) as the Ford
    -not as off-road capable as the Everest

    Of course, after all that praise for the Eve... I'd rather take the Montero.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Well, most of Alterra buyers I know seem to be very satisfied with their purchases....not like other SUV owners of other brands.

    As for the Sportivo, it is usually the AT models that tend to dismay owners.

Alterra vs. Sportivo
