Thanks a lot in helping me narrow down our options. The budget of 1.5M Php was taken into consideration because we weren't sure how much the lower versus the higher end version of the said vehicles would be (with some external factors considered). And, yes, we agreed to scratch off the Avanza, Crosswind and Adventure from our list of options. So, now we're down to just the XTrail and Monterosport. Is there anyone who has any experience with the XTrail or perhaps were there any cons about getting the Monterosport? Also, can the remaining vehicles survive occassional hauls from the province?
