i'd choose the everest. ladder frame, heavy duty construction. it can punch through a concrete wall if you want to, much less slog through mud on your way up to sagada ( i am, of course, exaggerating here).

the subaru for me is a lot like a lifestyle SUV and the ford as something an american cowboy would drive... somewhat like a starbucks espresso vs. kapeng barako... both serve the same purpose but one is a lot more manly and robust.

more dealers sa ford, more parts from dealers, more mechanics.

The point is the threadstarter admits it will be mostly city driving. And even for out of town trips, I doubt if it would even see mud beyond some unpaved resort/hotel parking lots.

In that sense, something more comfortable to drive is the one that would be preferred. Hence, the Subaru Forester is the better choice.

BTW, if you want something more manly and robust, probably choose a Land Rover 110.
