July 26th, 2011 05:48 PM #12Kung ako...
1. Sportage/Tucson (with slightly more preference for the Sportage)- technologically great, good looking and the newest in the block, if you can get the diesel, definitely aim for the diesel.
2. Escape- I have a soft spot for the Escape as we have a 2.0XLT in the family and we just recently bought a 2.3XLS in Taiwan (have yet to try this one personally, but they say its pretty good). Very comfortable indeed and the underpinnings are definitely the most robust among your choices. 2.3L engine is not the best out there, but its more than enough for city driving and adequate enough for highway.
3. X-Trail- I'm not a big fan of Nissan's in general but this one seems to be pretty good. But as you said the 250X sucks fuel like there's no tomorrow so...
4. CRV- i-VTEC engine is definitely still the enthusiast's choice and the R20 engine coupled with the 6 speed manual should give pretty good fuel mileage numbers but Honda's maintenance is expensive and the CRV's looks repulses me.
5. ASX- one of my reasons for getting a CUV is the added space and/or interior room, and this one doesn't have it. If the Outlander was here, it could have been near or on the top of my list, a shame really.

Do consider a sportage, if not, get the X-trail. Next to it would be the CR-V, kinda bland for my taste though

^ Actually, unti unti dumadami ang Sportage. Just this day, I saw three. 2 puti 1 black. Siguro yung stocks eh hindi pa ganun kadami that's why you don't see them that often. Intay lang, dadami din yan.
Kaya kung rarity ang habol, go for the new Xtrail. Mas madami pa daliri ng isa kong kamay kaysa sa times na makakita ako ng new X-trail per day. Or if budget permits, get a Vitara. LOL ! It's rare ... but that's all it will ever be.

July 26th, 2011 06:46 PM #17Only the Xtrail can compete with Vitara for offroad capabilities.
You can check out the updated Xtrail CVT, the new touchscreen, USB ipod connectivity and parking sensors with backup camera at the same price makes it a better buy this year. The old and outdated stereo killed it last year. I'm still curious on how big is the improvement of the CVT on fuel consumption but with traffic these days, almost all kinds of engine displacement gulps fuel. They should reduce the buses more! Konti lng kasi meron kaya hirap kumuha ng data.
My second choice is probably Sportage since it's new and I like the design better than Tucson. Third is CRV but the new one will be out next year.
Escape is generally reliable. We have a 2004 model with 112k km already, still ok but I feel it is due for replacement already. Maybe I will give it one more year.

Sir, all i can say is "magaling pumili brother mo".... alam niya ginagawa niya
Para medyo maiba ka sir sa kanya, and if you can swing-in bit more money, mag-diesel CRDi Hyundai Tucson eVGT ka na sir (PhP1.33 M).
....Bukod sa mas matipid ito sa fuel-consumption kumpara sa mga gasoline-fed na nasa choices mo sir, sa engine specs palang panalong-panalo ka pa (177 metric-hp and 392 Nm torque from 1800 rpm to 2500 rpm).... Kahit ang Monterosport GTV na binebenta dito sa Pinas, talong-talo sa torque hehehehe
Goodluck sir!

The Escape is essentially Japanese (Mazda Tribute). But from the models you're considering I would prefer to get the X-Trail. The 2.5L is good-powered but the 2.0L is not so bad at all. As far as gasoline-powered crossovers go, the X-Terra is one of my favorites alongside the Subaru Forester, but actually if I were going to buy a crossover it would be diesel-powered, so I would consider a Chevrolet Captiva.
Eh ngayon BBM has just ordered the suspension of the fining of ebikes and calls for a grace period...
