BATTLE OF THE NEW SUV's - All New Everest vs 2016 Montero vs 2016 Fortuner

[niky]

Mazdas and Subarus always win COTY awards because the criteria doesn't include aftersales support, resale value, long-term reliability, and so on.

Just purely driving dynamics, features, and subjective opinions of test drivers. Which is why there's a disconnect between what wins in magazine comparos and what wins in the sales charts.

Case in point - Mazda 2. Drives great, looks great, has nice features, priced reasonably. But the Vios outsells it several hundred-fold.

In TG's PPV comparo, the MUX ranked dead last because it wasn't as advanced or as powerful as the others. But it costs several hundred thousand pesos cheaper, and that matters more than whether your truck can do 0-100 under 10 seconds.

To be fair, this disconnect is not limited to local car magazines. It's a worldwide phenomenon, because car magazines are for car enthusiasts, but car buying is for everyone (with enough money).

Hey, if they asked us to grade them on "Which one would you buy", I would have put the MU-X first. Proven platform. Proven reliability. And it's good at doing the family thing even if it isn't the most glamorous or high tech.

Car of the Year and Comparos are beauty contests. "Who would you most like to have a one night stand with?"

Car buying... that's like picking your husband/wife. Alcoholic party-crazy male/female models need not apply.

Great analogy. [emoji38]

I do wish there'd be a shift in priorities for car comparos. After all, most Filipino car buyers are also first-time owners, and plan to keep their hard-earned purchases for quite a while.

If the judges were to follow your criterias ... that list would be filled mostly with Toyotas ...

if you check asian countries even in japan leading pa din toyota there something talaga sa reliability ng toyota i ask mechanica and even owner of auto shops recommended pa din nila toyota kaya hindi mentality lang ng pinoy ang bumili ng toyota worth talaga for investment compare sa iba

Maka-toyota talaga, imagine sa pangit ng hitsura ng Land Cruiser at 4M, may bumile pa din
