hi bro! you still selling the 600rr? Hope not, looks like you're enjoying it from your latest pics sa BRC

Anyhows, my personal choice would be the Patrol. Why?

Fortuner - Too common, you see one nearly every corner. Besides, you got the Hi-lux na, same ride believe me.

RAV4 - Costs an arm and (two) legs and the exterior ain't that updated...yet.

Outlander - Bang for buck yes but for nearly the same fuel consumption I'd rather get the much roomier Patrol with the freezing aircon. This, however, would be my choice among the brand new lot.

Just my :twocents:

mods gawan na lang ng poll

[sidewayz]

thanks for the replies. just a question thought CBU jap yung outlander diba? i visited mitsu kanina me airbag pala un v6 sa seats? pano malalagyan ng leather seat un kung may airbag edi nde nag deploy yun upon impact? paki linaw lang? thanks. laki din ng leg room ng outlander sa harap/likod im suprisd.

i agree mejo madami nga fortuner pero sa tingin ko kasi bung for the buck? mura kasi sya? yung v6 outlander mas mahal pa ng 50k ata sa 4x4 fortuner hehe un lang ang dami na sa daan sobra.

abt the 2nd hand patrol nag tingin ako kanina ng 2nd hand too bad wala ako nakitang matino tino. ganda din sana salpakan lang ng offroad rims ayos na. un lang mejo oldie ung interior compare sa choices ko.

[sidewayz]

The airbags come out of the exposed plastic frames (I'm assuming it's the same as the Civic)... you can probably have the fabric portion upholstered, but I don't know what safety measures you need to perform for this.

For me, if it's an occassional car, the RAV4 or Outlander 4x4 are excellent vehicles. Both comfortable, both a good drive. The RAV4 is kinda overpriced, though.

Ayaw mo ng CRV? It's an excellent car for the price. Or maybe the Santa Fe ( :evil: ), which is a pretty good SUV with a frugal diesel engine... that's if we're talking in this price range.

Yup CBu from japan ang Outlander. Regarding the airbags, it has 6 airbags and yung seat airbags magdedeploy yun sabi ng Casa sa amin kahit may leather seat cover. Kaya ng airbags "mag-burst out" sa leather stitchings

BTW, the Outlander gets my vote. hindi pa ba obvious?

[ianmitsulancer]

2 options...
Outlander GLS Sport V6 among your choices
-or-
Strada GLS Sport 4x4 + Canopy.

amen.

drive inspired, ianmitsulancer

[ringostarr]

kung minsan mo na gagamitin, mag v6 ka naman

Most seatcovers I have seen for side airbags have velcro that attaches the seatcover materials in the area of the airbags. In the event of deployment of the airbags the velcro will release and allow the air bags to perform as designed.

Fortuner 4x4 - I'm not sure if Toyota's diesel are safe already or if they will ever be. Toyota's quiet sweeping of this issue under rug is quite deafening and disturbing. This uncertainty is probably why I wouldn't get this one. Engine aside, I like the Fortuner alot esp. its high ride height, although it is quite big and cumbersome driving in very small and tight spaces.

Rav4 - it is quite disappointing that Toyota opted to place the spare tire hanging by the rear hatch door. The Rav4 has an overall great interior although its big dash might impede some front vision. The rear passenger has ample space but the rear seats are a bit thin (feels similar to the Jazz). Ample trunk space. Same old engine (2AZ-FE) from the previous gen. Camry but being used also in the current Camry and Previa. Exhaust pipe located quite low therefore could be hit when taken off-road. Japan CBU means that its quality is really up there and it is very evident the minute you sit inside.

Outlander - Exterior looks impressive and aggressive. Interior is a bit too plasticky which is compounded by the full door panels. The rear seats are like the Rav4's. The V6 is definitely quick but its fuel thirst is expected for such a performance.

RE: Fuel Thirst

Can sprint 8 km/l in the city ang Outlander huh... Given the a good traffic condition.

[russpogi]

An Outlander would be the cream among your choices. As Niky mentioned, try considering the Santa Fe! Me likey likey!

[niky]

Well, considering you're a biker... I think the zing and engine note of the Outlander might prove to be most to your liking amongst available compact and small midsized SUVs.

Of course, there's always the Forester 2.5XT... a bit old-fashioned, and the rear-seat isn't anything to write home about, but whoa, nelly... the power!
