Hmmmm. I'll get the CRDi. Since naka CRDi din ako. hahaha!

Very powerful kasi. Fuel efficient. Pero mag ready ka sa maintenance cost.

Yung leather seats ng GLS Theta II, pwede naman ipakabit yan sa labas.

other negative issues aside from FC and "old look"?

but those concerns on the GLS Theta II are true? Just wanted to make sure that i will choose the right vehicle since half of the year I am out of the country so my wife will be the one to use it.

Yeap. Really true.

want more?

Kalampagin ang stabilizer link.

Engine Tope.

Slight knocking kapag di maganda yung fuel na ikinarga.

At medyo malakas sa gas.

thanks alot for this!

i guess i will have to remove the GLS Theta II from my shortlist and move up the GL CRDi up although, as you have mentioned, walang stock at kung magkaroon man, walang pila.

Very true... With regards to maintenance cost slight diff lang naman comparing sa matitipid mo sa gas mo. Except for the base price ng gas and diesel engine before acquiring the unit. Mas less costly ang CRDI, except again kung may nasirang part sa iyo. Mas mahal nga ang parts and materials for crdi and PMS cost. Pero mas mura ang diesel and it consumes way less than the gas counterparts. The best part e you can't put a price on the fun of driving a crdi engine...

The engine issues sound more like a problem of bad gas. Cousin has had no issues so far with his 2.0, and I haven't noticed anything untoward with our test units.

We always fill up on the highway, though, and spend extra on the "better" gasolines.

I wouldn't consider it that big a deal. Many modern cars have issues with certain gasoline formulas, and some dealerships will give you warnings about what fuel to use in your car. (and it's not just the octane they consider)
