Forester XT or Santa Fe 4x4

Choosing between these two crossovers.. Ive crossed out the CX-5, not my type.

Will be using it for long drives (5 hour trip) from manila up north VV twice a month, the rest is city driving. Will be needing it for light offroad inside the farm.

Gas consumption is not so much of an issue. I just want to choose which is best overall in terms of performance, driving comfort & suspension.

Forester XT. More fun for long drives, better off-road, cheaper, very good ride also.

Forrester is cheaper by 350k+. Better car. Better resale value.

Boycott HARI!

if you don't need the space of the santa fe go with the fxt since gas isn't an issue plus the fact that the fxt is a great light off roader with an under rated ground clearance. and the power and handling cannot be matched by it's competitors.

Seeing gas consumption is not an issue..... Forester XT
You can actually afford an Explorer Ecoboost if you can survive without 4x4

Yung 2011 FXT, my FC is around 4-5km/L. Either traffic sobra or hataw yan.

I heard the new one is more economical.

base on feedbacks from other owners nasa 6-7km/ltr yung bago on traffic yon, can't confirm it since i haven't had that much seat time on the new fxt. pero mukhang accurate naman since halos lahat ng ka grupo namin na naka fxt yon din ang sinasabi nila.

That's good. Parang 90s 2.0L sedan lang on a regular day.
