Luxury Diesel SUV

[foresterx]

Range rover is the the best out of all your choices, reliability issues are known only on the earlier range rovers. If the MB GL's out yere has the same features as the one they are selling in the states, then that would be my next choice. The q7 while in my opinion is the best looking SUV available in the market right now, the interior and quality isn't as great as the RR/MB-GL/X5.

And to those asking if the price difference of the german cars is worth it, i'd say yes. Our family has owned a lot of cars including the pajero, land cruiser, patrol, expedition, suburban and more. The quality, features, performance and luxury the european suv's has can't be compared to american and asian suv's. When you're driving a european car you can truly feel the class it brings and feel that you're driving an expensive car.

Btw bakit walang x5 sa choices mo?

[Ry_Tower]

Oo nga, walang X5? Pero meron Cayenne Diesel AFAIK.

Pero sa mga pics, I'll go with the RR.

Mayroon kaming Q7 and LC200. (baka kasi may magtanong naman sa akin kung mayroon ako...q7 and lc200)...

LC200 is more practical and cheaper to maintain. Kung hindi ka naman maselan, get the gray unit.. mas madaming feature compared sa local.. Our LC is the dubai version, 2008 model, so far wala kaming problema. Besides, unlike with european cars, walang problema kung gusto mo pa PMS sa toyota dealers.

Q7 is more luxurious than the LC200.. Specially yung sports edition nila... IMHO, kahit 3.0 lang ang engine, feeling ko mas malakas siya... Ride better. My only complain with our Q7 is the higher cost of maintenance.. Required kang dalhin every year sa PGA, since lalabas na sa LCD nya na kailangan na niya ng servicing. Unlike sa Benz and BMW, mas madaming shop ang nagoffer ng service, unlike sa AUDI ...

Regarding Range Rover, wala akong experience sa kotse, pero check mo na lang yung service center nila.. So far, isa palang tapos the location is not pretty. Yung kotse mo kapag tapos na sa kalsada lang nila nilalagay.. Check mo, na experience na namin yan sa Jaguar... NO Customer lounge.. the CR is so small, I think pang common lang.. Walang coffee dispenser, buti pa si toyota mayroon... PGA has a good resto.. masarap pa food compared with other casa..

You mean ba yung old dealer sa Buendia??

[Starex_Gold]

^ Siguro.

Lumipat na sila sa BGC. Mas ok na ang location tsaka mas malaki na. Hehe

Yung sales lang yata lumipat sa BGC.
Maybe kaya di maganda ang lounge ng jaguar kasi puro driver naman daw ang naghihintay, heheheh.:D

[myk384]

Yung old dealer ng Jaguar/LR naging extension classroom ng SoFa.. but not sure

[hinDMaxsiado]

Btw bakit walang x5 sa choices mo?

Sir, wala din yatang luxury line ng Toyota, Lexus LX450 sa choices.... Almost the same ba sila ng Toyota LC200?

How bout mga ibang luxury lines say Infiniti (Nissan) and Acura (Honda) SUV's?

In quite a related topic pala sir, ang isa sa driver namin ay dating driver ni Gloria Diaz. Sa mga American, European (Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, BMW) and Japanese cars daw ni Gloria Diaz, ang pinaka-gusto daw niyang i-drive ay ang Mercedes Benz. Siempre, kuwento niya ito and i just took it as it is sir

Lexus LX570 - No diesel option. Tsaka I don't like the looks

Infiniti QX56 & Nissan Patrol Royale - Ok sana, pero ayun wala rin diesel.

BMW X5 - Ok sana.. Kaso parating na daw.

*imperialv: Kamusta naman yung FC nung dalawa? and speaking of PMS, medyo obvious talaga mahal ang Euro cars. Figures naman bro ng PMS ng Q7 vs LC200.

[hinDMaxsiado]

Boss Starex,

Pustahan tayo sir tungkol sa PMS, mga more or less yan

[imperialv]

CASA price lang ang alam ko.

Ang PGA may sinusunod na package service.. Last time na nag paservice ako, nauna yung 2 years kaysa sa milage.. almost 32K ang binayaran namin.. ang mabigat yung next 2 years, nasa 65K ang babayaran for PMS, irregardless kung ano na ang tinakbo ng kotse..

Sa toyota, never pa akong nagbayad ng more than 15K..

Pero kung may mga contact ka naman sa labas, I think Q7 is a safe bet...

btw, kung mag q7 ka at papa drive mo sa driver, remind him not to lift the wiper kasi para siyang boomerang na babalik sa salamin. We learned the hard way, ayun basag si windshield.. Natakot si driver at hindi na bumalik.. May release switch kapag pipindutin para lang maingat mo ang wiper.

id go with the rover just because if im not mistaken 70% of rovers built ever sice are still running today hahaha

[sachiel]

I think the Land Rover Discovery is also a diesel and a 7 seater. But the middle row seats cannot be reclined.

newer car isn't always synonymous to a better car. to tell you why: back then, if you want a long-lasting car, you'd get a euro car. but look at the euro cars today. inasmuch as i don't want to say bad things, try to look at a Benz that was made in the 70s and even beyond and compare it with a brand-new Mercedes Benz. then with the jap cars, take the example of honda cr-v. most hunters of cr-v prefers the 1st generation over the second and the third because of certain traits.

*Admin: sorry ot.

[jhnkvn]

Ngayon ko lang napansin ikaw pala threadstarter, Ken

If then so, wallet's not a valid consideration. Get the Cayenne S na!

[renzo_d10]

Taena, G450 nalang Ken. :hysterical:

Is this the Cayenne S?

Looks good. Pero..
1. Gasoline fed
2. Cayenne Turbo looks and performs better.

Kung Cayenne lang din, yung Turbo na. Kaso masyado na yun malakas sa gas.

Taena, G450 nalang Ken. :hysterical:

Hahaha! Yung G55 AMG kung yan lang din, para sumisibak ng Range Rover Sport

[MrQ5]

cheap version of cayenne Nissan Murano...

Gagu. Eroplano kasi yung G450. :hysterical:

The X6 drives better than the Cayenne... though I haven't driven the facelifted Cayenne yet.

The first gen CR-V? Still thirsty for fuel, terrible B20 engine, cramped, small? That CR-V? Just because the second generation is an awful gas guzzler doesn't make the first gen any better than it actually is.

Nah. Murano's interior and handling are nowhere near Cayenne level. You want a "cheap" crossover that sort of drives like a Cayenne or X6, you're getting the CX9.
