Daming thread na ganito ah.
1. RAV 4
2. Tucson
3. Escape

1. 2007 Santa Fe (sedan like ride, 7-seater, mura lang ~1.6M)
2. Rav4 (medyo mahal pero ok din kaso maliit 1.8M)
3. Tucson 4x4

If you are on a budget, sub-Php 1 million, then the Tucson Gas 4x2 would do fine. But it has no ABS and Airbags.

Or you want to consider the CRV 4x2 5 pass select edition MT for P999,000 or P1,051,000 for the AT. Only better than the Tucson bec. it has ABS and Dual airbags. But probably lousier fuel economy.

If cost is not a major deciding factor, then get the '06 Rav4 4x2.

kung sedan-like comfort, sta fe would be a better choice than the three.

[mazdamazda]

if you can afford it... the Rav4 is the best among your given choices.

though for its price (P1.5M for 4x2, P1.8M for 4x4) there are other better options out there. the Hyundai Santa Fe is one if you wouldn't mind driving a 7-seater SUV. the Subaru Forester XT if you want handling & speed. the Kia Sorento if your priority is off-roading capability.

I think the Tucson has a driver's airbag.

The Escape would be a good alternative to the FWD CR-V.
Ford Escape XLT A/T, 157PS 2.3 liter Duratec, standard dual airbags and ABS with EBD.
Price: P 1,119,000

If cost is not a major deciding factor, then get the '06 Rav4 4x2.

If you must have AWD, you should consider the Subaru Forester 2.0 A/T, it has a 158PS DOHC flat-4, AWD, standard dual airbags and ABS.
Price: P1.25M(P1.29M with insurance)

AG4, they deleted the airbag in the tuscon 4x2

I think the Tucson has a driver's airbag.

The entry-level Tucs (gas variant 4x2) do not have any airbags nor ABS. The AWD CRDi variant does have them.

Nah. I think the CRV is much more refined and besides it has the biggest cargo space in terms of volume. I also read people in this board complaining about expensive Ford parts and so on.

I got to be a passenger in an Escape in California for more than a week and I'd say I'll rather go for the Japanese or Korean competitors instead. The Escape's door closes with a cheap L300 clank to it. The space in the passenger cabin is really cramped and it has unbelievable body roll for a CUV-worse than at least a CRV.

CRDi Turbo is the way to go :-)

[jonski]

1.3 to 1.7 budget ko and gusto ko 5 seater lang lang kasi binata pa naman ako(im only 22). ok sana rav4 kaya lang masyadong maliit kung dumaan ako sa baha tsaka yung forester mababa din. hindi talaga ako makapag decide...(next year pa naman)

[cutedoc]

if money wont be a problem go for the best RAV4

dinadaan ko sa baha rav ko but not waist deep, siguro mga knee high or less nasubukan kona, mine is matic pa=)

[jonski]

kahit na anong SUV nalang ok sakin basta 5seater.

[driven]

since you mentioned RAV4 in your list, i assume na malaki ang budget mo. for me, comfortable ride and large legroom yung RAV4, somewhat comparable to a mid size sedan naman...

well kung next year pa plano mo, you might wanna wait and see the all new CRV first

[finchy18]

RAV 4 limited

[ronald_m]

Rav 4. I'm very biased to american car their unreliable especially when they get old.
