    For daily use, usually city driving and climb steep parking levels maintenance cost and resale value too if possible

    Do you intend to go off-road or talagang pure city use? Pag talagang pure city use and base on your criteria I would say Forester. The problem is though they have one dealer and that is the only place you can have your Forester serviced. Servicing it outside is hard because its hard to find genuine parts. Even in Banawe its really tough to find Subaru parts.

    I don't think Subaru's parts are cheap. And I think the Forester's resale value after 5 to 10 years is lower than the Montero. You said, that you're going to use it for city driving only. If I were you...buy the forester because montero's too large for your city driving needs.

09 Subaru Forester 2.5L 4x4 vs 09 Montero Sport 3.2L 4x4?
