this is a study on problems per 100 vehicle (1st owned/brand new aquired)

Actually i wanted to avoid both problematic vehicles and unprofessional after-sales services

Dapat pala porsche ang kinuha ko

WHY?
1. Tucson was already available. (with 177 horses

2. I really like the tucson's styling inspite of the funny looking face. (I've a solution for this, future mod)
3. Was worried with the somewhat underpowered Forester 2.0 and need for 95 octane gas only
4. super dami ng MS ngayon, even more than the fortuner. though im sure it's a very good buy too
5. My barkada has the vcdi Captiva and advised me not to get one. Another friend isn't totally happy with his captiva, has quality issues daw.

In the end, choose a car kung saan ka pinaka-happy and least regrets. Sarap talaga mag car-hunting! hehe
Thanks to everyone for the advices. HTH to other people still hunting for their piece of automotive heaven

Sir di ka magsisi dyan. I'm driving the same one sobra talaga tulin at very responsive ang engine. yun nga lang medyo kulang sa features for its price. pero overall i'm so happy with it.

* babkalakal & poknet: Thanks for the support!

Mukha nga kelangan ko lagyan ng stabilizer bars kasi sobrang bilis

Kulang na features for me would be automatic folding of side mirrors and projector headlights! pati nga pala pull out na ashtray para sa coins, instead of the cupholder type na ashtray

Sa Premium variant ng Tucson, headlights lang ang problem. Masyado talaga mahina
