Choosing between SUVs: Tucson vs. Forester vs. Captiva vs. Monterosport

**the_jet** · February 19th, 2010 01:16 AM

What's best among the 4? Mostly will be driven by me, and sometimes my wife, 2 small kids with or without 2 yayas will ride with me.
Should be A/T and budget of 1.1-1.4M. Diesel is definitely a plus.
Tucson GLS, Forester 2.0, Captiva CRDi or MS GLS 2.5 ???
Tucson- nice styling but 2 months waiting & no CRDi yet (crdi=expensive)
Forester- exclusive but bland exterior & no CRDi (octane gas should be 95)
Captiva- very nice styling but it's a chevy & bad FC
MS- bigger suv but too many on the road & im not a big fan of mitsu quality
hmmmmm...
(No fortuners please, already have 1 as family car

)

you need a van/minivan. Thats the logical choice if you already have an SUV and your family is growing.

Not a fan of mitsu quality? What's your benchmark? Toyota?

di ka pala fan ng mitsu, bat sinali mo pa MS?

I second the motion to that. Well what's wrong with Mitsubishi quality? E yung toyota nga me recall sa states, Mitsubishi wala pa. Palagay ko all you need is good old jeepney style mini van.

Bro! Mag Montero Sports (4x4/2.5L Dsl) ka nalang more advantage than disadvantage such as sparebparts and accessories no problem available any where, and the engine (4D56) tried and tested na Euro II cpliant pa!

Brader...as what the TS said...May Fortuner na sya so what's the use of buying a MS?

*TS;

If your looking for a crossover utility vehicle, the captiva and the forrester is more expensive than tucson...meron pa naman na tucson na CRDi which is not the latest 2010 model and still fall under 1.1 to 1.2 million with added accessories...idagdag mo na din jan ang Sportage na CRDi...

i think mas okay si captiva..we are planning on getting one..

features are very premium that can only be found in high end SUVs tingnan mo features nya:

Yeah bro, pero di naman ganyan kalawak na halos lahat ng model line-up nila eh subject for recall. Kaya nga ang consumer confidence sa Toyota quality crash dive to almost zero. Well here in the Philippines, me nangyari na bang product recall ng kahit isang automotive company? In my opinion, wala yata eh.
