    Because may pera sila?

    For 1.5M, a Fortuner/Montero is more practical than a CX-5/Forester because it seats more, consumes less fuel, has more space, and is more apt for our awful roads and weather.

    Also, Fortuners have something that an Innova has none of - image. The latter is a family car through and through while ladder-based SUVs are still SUVs and thus inherently are more respectable to the eyes of the average Juan.

    Sa tibay iba pa din ang ladder frame. Pero kung daily drive, specially kung babae ang gagamit, mas ok ang forester kasi mas manageable siya. Id still rather be in a true H frame than in a crossover. Parng mas safe ang pakiramdam ko eh. But thats just me.

    My comment emanated from my conversation with a couple of Forester owners, bemoaning their perceived 'disrespectful' quotations they got from 2nd hand buyers. Hence, up to now they can't unload their Subs to purchase more economical cars. It has nothing to do with how I dissected all factors to select the diesel Soul as the best bang for my buck, bar none, for my intended purposes. In this particular matchup, I'll pick the 4x2a/t MU-x over an XT. Heck, I'll be proud to use it as a bridal car, in white pearl of course ^^

    Di pwedeng both practical and maganda?

    The Innova is the most practical car in the country but I'd never buy a car that I'm not happy with so I'll buy a Fortuner which is equally practical but is actually a likeable car.

    Ang OA ng practicality comes last. Sana ang taas ng benta ng 86 and Genesis Coupe if people didn't value practicality highly.

    i guess your right.. when you have the money, you always chose a car that like. Image is first though right?

    Thanks guys.

    Mahirap din magdecide. Either you go to what your heart desires or what your mind tells you.

    So I have asked the question which has the Wow factor pag dumating ka.
