Forester XT or Santa Fe 4x4

[S-U-V]

Choosing between these two crossovers.. Ive crossed out the CX-5, not my type.

Will be using it for long drives (5 hour trip) from manila up north VV twice a month, the rest is city driving. Will be needing it for light offroad inside the farm.

Gas consumption is not so much of an issue. I just want to choose which is best overall in terms of performance, driving comfort & suspension.

Forester XT. More fun for long drives, better off-road, cheaper, very good ride also.

Forrester is cheaper by 350k+. Better car. Better resale value.

Boycott HARI!

if you don't need the space of the santa fe go with the fxt since gas isn't an issue plus the fact that the fxt is a great light off roader with an under rated ground clearance. and the power and handling cannot be matched by it's competitors.

Seeing gas consumption is not an issue..... Forester XT
You can actually afford an Explorer Ecoboost if you can survive without 4x4

Thanks for your inputs & suggestion. Im leaning towards the FXT. This would be my first subaru. What color kaya? Choosing between white, black & silver.

In order of preference, it would be black, white then silver. But admittedly, a lighter color would allow the car's design to really be appreciated.

White, silver, black ang order of preference ko.

kung gusto mo hindi halata ang dumi silver na. Sa white ok lang pag pantay ang dumi, pag hindi kita agad. Worse ang black, dapat may baon kang microfiber at water palagi.

Silver and white are easier to care for than black. Over time, they hide scratches and dull spots better.

Forrester XT for the overall experience. It is more fun to drive the forrester than a santa fe.

Unless you have an occasional need for 3rd row seating, I'd say the Forester XT is a better choice.

Performance, go for FXT. Comfort Santa Fe. Features, Santa Fe for me. I know, gas consumption is not an issue for you but if your going to use it as your daily drive, I would recommend diesels. My average mileage is about 1500kms a month. In my current SF3 4x4, I'm spending about 7k fuel per month. If I'm going to use the FXT under the same conditions, I would be spending about 13-14k a month for fuel alone.

My advise, test drive both and see what suits you better. Before getting my unit, test drove all the options available.

Go for what your heart desires, good luck. On a personal note, initially I thought I bought an overpriced car, but after more than a year of ownership, the SF3 4x4 was worth it.

And by the way, with the huge panoramic sunroof, you will definitely enjoy the long rides

Test driven both.. FXT for me

[EQAddict]

FXT for me ( I have one hehe ). Power, comfort, toys (big panoramic sunroof, power tailgate, power everything, LCD displays galore, nice sound system, Paddle shifters, 8-speed mode, 6 speed mode, etc etc) and its plenty fast. Exterior wise its got those nice twin tailpipes and the LED running lights so that's nice too. I dont care much for the fuel consumption. Seems about 6Km /liter for me City driving.

For a more livelier driving experience the FXT is the better choice.

Although if you asked my own personal opinion, the Santa Fe is my choice because of the fuel economy it will bring and the comfort it offers.
