Thanks for all your comments. With your inputs, I have trimmed down my choices to Everest, Vitara, Forester, Tucson and Strada (kasama pa din strada kc yun tlaga choice ni misis eh. porma daw! ayaw ko nga sana kaso baka bugbugin ako eh. ehehehe... ).
Btw, may diesel engine ba na Vitara and Forester?
Also how's the fuel consumption ba of these vehicles? Thanks.
If the road conditions in your area are a bit bad, I'd either go for the Sorento or Everest.
The Sorento ups the ante by offering 4wd capability... the Everest on the other hand has a much improved suspension & engine... not to mention that it has more space.
you mentioned that you're a family man. if you have a family of five (or more), scratch the Forester from your list, because it's not the roomiest of the lot.
