Isuzu Alterra vs Hyundai Tucson

[PATSYS50]

Guys, please help. I need to decide within this week as the shipments will be coming in 3rd week of June and I need to reserve soon.

2010 Tucson 2.0R GLS CRDi AT Premium

or

2010 Isuzu Alterra 4x4 AT 3.0

Both are 4x4 and diesel and they both cost exactly the same, P 1,698,000!

What I value most are (in order)

Fuel efficiency (40%)
Durability (low maintenance) (35%)
Good airconditioning (15%)
Prestige (10%)

I have excluded looks because I personally prefer Alterra over Tucson in terms of porma.

Also power, speed and safety features are excluded because I really do not need so much power/speed and that I think both Alterra and Tucson both have good safety features (Airbags, ABS, etc).

Actually I am almost decided on getting Alterra (I already got a quotation from ISUZU Pasig) but I am really curious why Tucson is just as expensive considering that it is smaller. There must be a good reason for this

Thanks.

Get the Hyundai Tucson, the Alterra is an old model already. The Tucson rides better. If you will notice, there are very few Alterras on the streets and a lot of people lining up to buy the Tucson, there must be a good reason why.

Neither.

Mas ok kung Santa Fe R (facelift, new engine) or Sorento R (completely new everything) ang kunin mo. For the same price, you'll get a whole lot better car.

Personally, I'll take the Sorento. You can also opt for KIA Carnival LWB EX.

Agree with horsepower. Tsaka kung hindi mo lang gagamitin yung features ng Tucson Premium, dont buy it. Simple lang..

Neither.

The Alterra is old, expensive and dull looking.

The iX is, well yes a premium.

But, like what SG said ...

If you can't enjoy the toys then what is the " premium add-ons " for ?

You're better off with a Nissan Xtrail.

Get the white one, ; or ....

The Sorento ...

It is a good looking vehicle too, ...

Just don't know if you can wait. ;)

BTW, Consider also the Sta. Fe

I got to drive my friend's Alterra last Tuesday. Surprisingly the suspension isn't as stiff as Fortuner. The power delivery is so-so kasi Manual naman, lakas ng torque.

Bumili ka parin pala ng Tucson kahit base diesel lang. Kung ako man din naka base diesel baka di rin ako matuwa. Masyadong bare eh
