My heart is on the Pajero because of my friends suggestions, at sabi nila reliable at kahit papano matipid sa gas compare with other big cars. There are a few car dealers in our area with good reputation, mahal nga lang.

you are right the pajero is indeed very reliable, even the late 80s-early 90's model you can still see many of them running around the metro

but in this case if you are considering a subic model you might as well scrap the option and choose between the focus and starex

price wise based on the information you have given i would choose the starex because you can aquire it cash and you will have the added people/cargo hauling capacity.

but if you could jack up your budget a bit and acquire the focus or any other sedan in this case on a cash basis then why not; for sure it would give you 3-5 years of worry free driving and not to forget the brand new car smell (god i miss that smell hehehe)
