    Hi!

    I'm planning to buy my 1st car in the near future, but I'm can't decide between the following Car to choose from.
    Choices:
    2015 Toyota Fortuner 2.5 V
    2014 Mitsubishi Montero Sport GLS-V
    2014 Toyota Rav4 4x2 Full Option
    2014 Subaru Forester 2.0i-Premium
    Budget is <1.7M
    Purpose: Daily drive to school and work.
    point to consider when buying are:
    Fuel Consumption
    Drive Comfort
    Maintenance Cost
    Parts(in case na masiraan)
    Enjoyment.
    Di ako makapagdecide in which car that i would buy for myself.
    and any suggestion of dealership na maganda ang offer nila (in quezon city or near)
    also shop na magandang offer nila sa mga accessories for the cars said above.


    thank you and more power mga katsikot !

    The Fortuner and Montero Sport is nearing it's end of life. How about adding the Isuzu MU-X and CX-5 on your options?

    pass ma muna sa MU-X and CX-5. traditional buyer yung family member namin so i think di sila papayag sa both brands, naipilit ko lang yung forester kasi personal favorite ko

    Kung yung apat lang na yun ang pamimilian, dun ka sa gusto mo, Forester. Mas masarap i-drive yung sasakyan na talagang gusto mo.

    Forester is also my choice if I will be the one to buy. Pero considering yung maintenance cost and parts I will go with the Fortuner or Montero Sport. They are also very comfortable ride.

    Am not a big fan of Toyota nor Mitsubishi with their spartan approach.

    But for that budget,- I'd go for the RAV4.... Or, the Forester.....

    With any of these two, you're going to be one of the few lookers on the road.....

    With that budget and age, I'd get a sporty midsizer. Hence, a mazda 6. Not too young and not too old. But that's just me.

    Adding "Enjoyment" in the specs mean the thrill of the drive.

    A bit more budget nets you the Forester xt and the WRX, & Toyota's FT Cruiser. But if limited to 1.7M, it's got to be the GT86 or the Genesis Coupe. Gray market Velosters are also within that price point.

    Also, curious as to why select the mid variants for your list, whereas you could go all the way with the TOTL 4X4 versions of them, allowing you to "enjoy" a bit of off-road action.

    i think medyo mahihirapan ako sumakay and lumabas sa GT86 since 6'1 ako. plus madalas kami nagkakaroon ng biglaang gala ng mga friends and officemates ko so preferable SUV

    Pasok pala sa budget mo 4x4 na SUV. Yun na lang kunin mo. Matpid, madali maintenance, pang-harabas at matibay pa.

    kung mid-size SUV ang hanap at brand new,

    2015 na po kayo kumuha, lalabas na yung mga new models from different brand. (saka enough time to stretch out sa budget)
    at makakapili na po kayo.

    Sa 1.7M budget ceiling, kung medyo nagmamadali na kayo bumili, at possible i-stretch out ang budget at least 100K,

    kung sa diesel engine, TB, saka Alterra,
    if gasoline naman, Subaru forester, or FJ cruiser.

    kung open naman kayo for second hand.

    either pajero BK or nissan patrol.

    With the following requirements:

    Budget is <1.7M
    Purpose: Daily drive to school and work.
    point to consider when buying are:
    Fuel Consumption
    Drive Comfort
    Maintenance Cost
    Parts(in case na masiraan)
    Enjoyment

    Open to other options, maybe adding bells & whistles into a fine car. If I have that budget, I'd get a Mazda6. It would not be in the Best10 of Car and Driver if it's not that good.
