September 29th, 2010 11:18 PM #21+1 on this... it would have been better if a 4x2 version with same amenities/features of a 4x4 is available for all/most of SUVs in the market...
i really wanted a 4x2 since i am not really an offroader guy (well, not yet )... ended up buying a 4x4 since the additional features of the 4x4 are only available in 4x4s...

September 30th, 2010 03:18 PM #23These are the features that I remembered:
4x4 Xtrail
1. 6 airbags
2. Powerseats driver side
3. Hyper roof rail
4. Leather seats
5. Xenon headlights
6. 6 speakers
4x2 Xtrail
1. 2 airbags
2. Manual seat controls
3. Fabric seats
4. Halogen lamps
5. 4 speakers (this is weird unless they don't count the tweeter. my 2.0L 2004 Xtrail has 6 speakers including tweeter.)
For me the 4x2 gives a better value unless 4x4 is a necessity. You can get the other features of the 4x4 for less than P200k. 6 airbags is nice but you don't really expect to use it much.
Compared to Forester 2.0 and CRV 2.0L, the Xtrail 4x2 is the best in this price range.

September 30th, 2010 03:28 PM #24For me I would rank it like this
1. Sta Fe - mainly because it's a 7 seater. Engine is also the most powerful and has the best FC
2. Xtrail 4x4 - very versatile on road and off road. Biggest cargo space. Xtrail is probably the best off roader amongst the soft roader category
3. ASX - too small and expensive for my taste. The rear seats are not comfortable, better get the Lancer instead.

-the xenon would make a huge difference compared to the halogen, especially or roads are dark at night compared to other countries.
-power seats, although it doesn't matter to me if it's manual, but if a car has one then it's a plus for me. also if you're not the only one driving then it would be a great addition.
-personally i have never ever needed my airbags, but when the time comes and i hope it doesn't i'd rather have 6 than just 2.
if it was me i'd get the 4x4 since the difference isn't that huge, at least in the end i won't be saying sana yung 4x2 na lang ang kinuha ko. the +20hp isn't really that much but i'm sold with the 4x4 because of the xenon, power seats and 6 airbags. just my 2 cents...Last edited by foresterx; September 30th, 2010 at 04:05 PM.

September 30th, 2010 04:11 PM #26Cars with 6 airbags are normally found in luxury vehicles so in fairness a 1.550M with 6 airbags is a good value for the money. But it's expensive to replace the airbags if deployed so drive carefully.

it used to be that way, pero ngayon there are so many cars in the 1M price range that is equipped with 6 airbags which is really good for the consumers. i don't care how expensive it is to replace as long as it saves my life or lessen the damage i would get in an accident, then it's worth it for me.

Get the forester 2.0x if you want a softroader 4x4, after a few years when the warranty is over, slap on a big turbo and intercooler ...
