I'll go with the Ford Everest: touch macho look, punchy engine, capable off-roader, comfy ride... the only thing going against it is the somewhat bland dashboard & a 3rd row that's for midgets & children only.
i would also go for the everest.... built and looks for toughness, ika nga.
imho, ang lamang lang naman ng alterra sa everest is yung interiors nya and yung 5.1 sound system nya.
The interior fit and finish is the only iffy bit in the vehicle. Watch out for the odd bit of exposed wiring in the footwell, and new drivers will balk at the truck-like parking brake.
While I don't have a solid position on this as I haven't owned either, I'd like to ask how come there seem to be much more roll-overs of Everests though?
