Peace to SsangYong owners.

OK lang pre. Mura lang naman ang paper bag kumpara sa value na nakukuha namin sa Ssangyong.

Budget SUV? I'd go for the Forester 2.0X. I would've gone for something else a few months back. But the Foz's moonroof, AWD, and Subby rep at a budget price are just too hard to ignore.

AFAIK, the foz is the only one with a moonroof. The Foz, the Actyon, and maybe the Jimny are also the only ones with AWD/4WD at the budget level.

The cheapest Forester is less than 1.3M

Wonderful idea!!!......if you are considering an SUV (or a sport utility truck as one ad may claim) in its true sense of the word...not those car-based road queen crossovers.

1. you still get a 5-seater utility vehicle
2. larger cargo hold at the back
3. 4x4 capability which you cannot get at this price range for SUV (except the Jimny)
4. spacious than the all the CUVs in the market

Perhaps the other option to achieve these features is to own the first-gen Montero Sport (5-seater, 4x4, diesel SUV)...which you can get pre-owned.

Can we make a poll here? How can I do that?

strada with canopy? had a strada but never considered installing one, parang mas mahirap abutin gamit sa kadulo dulohan
