Malayo pa din performance sir especially compared to my 07 FXT which is rated at 6.1 secs on 0-100. Baka mostly city ang driving mo kaya nagrereklamo ka sa gas. (At lalo ka magre reklamo sa gas dahil sa *(%G ethanol). Hirap mag overtake sa humahataw na bus yung mga diesel kaya mas nakaka stress sa long drive. (It'll probably take a 3.+ liter CRDI VGT or Twin Turbo to match the FXT ... ah kaya pala karibal niya yung X5 hehehe. Pero sa laki naman ng torque nun malaki chance na sirain ang tranny)

Malaki din hinala ko na malaki din diperensya sa ride kasi the Forester stock tires are road-biased OFF ROADERS while the Kumhos on the Tucs are true road tires. So if the tires are matched maglalayo ulit ride comfort nila.

But the Tuc is DEFINITELY more practical especially for daily/city use. And the styling is more modern. (Although modern looks often age much faster) Eh ako mismo thankful sa Focus ko tuwing brownout eh ... lalo na ngayon na mauuso na ang ethanol. (Pero kung ako, I'd just take the cheaper Tuc and take it to banawe -- practical nga eh di ba?)

Pero pag long drive o pag pagod ako, thank God for the FXT.

In the end, balancing act talaga. Sabi nga nila, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Kaya I strongly recommended a test ride/drive na mabuti naman sinunod.

OT -- Grabe yata 2nd hand market for 07s like mine ah. The other day may tumatawad na naman eh wala namang for sale sign saka kahit sabihin ko na na Ondoy. That's the third freaking time. hehehe.
