Which MPV/AUV/SUV should we get?

[Nytherr]

you should consider getting the Carnival... its a MPV and not a van... so it fits your criteria..

My father hasn't considered it yet, but we have considered it's smaller brother, the Carens. We won't try to get one, as North America is already waiting for its next generation or replacement.

Concept Vehicle:

Hindi naman sila payat ah. Have you and your dad seen one up close in person? Width is actually similar to the Pajero. Matapang naman ang dating. And then I thought length would be a plus since you'd be loading lots of stuff? How much stuff ba talaga?

Pajero Fieldmaster is a good choice. However, do not expect to get good FC with it, especially with the matic variant. Engine is also not very punchy by today's standards.

Want something wide? Hyundai Santa Fe's got a width of 1890mm. 4660mm length means its very manageable too. All seats fold flat, you get great gas mileage and performance exceeding all the above mentioned choices...

Para po sa kanya, talagang payat daw po. Pero sa akin po, di naman po. That's how he sees it. We talked about the Pajero Field Master and he didn't like it. Which Santa Fe po? The new and current gen or the previous gen? He has considered getting the previous gen Santa Fe of our neighbor. Depende po kasi yung dinadala niyang kahon, I can't tell how much he carries during deliveries. All I can say is less than 10 boxes per delivery.

Curious as to how big and bulky those boxes can get. The Everest is actually quite roomy, and does look butch. Never thought of it as the svelte type.

We saw the Everest awhile back when we went to visit the dealership. Talagang ayaw po niya sa mga mahahaba at maninipis, at least that's how he describes the Everest and the Alterra.
