Need help purchasing first car SUV

Kung 1.2M naman ang budget bakit GL lang ang kailangan?

Mag GLS 2WD A/T nalang.

Kaso GL Theta at R-eVGT Premium ang dumating..

I test drive mo yang mga SUV na nasa short list mo, then feel for yourself kung saan ka comfortable. And also don't forget, since you are in a limited budget, make sure its FC will also fit in your daily budget.

You can finish the transactions through phone, fax and text message. Like what I did.

Tapos pumunta nalang ako doon nung kukunin ko na, ayoko kasi ng deliver, medyo nawawala yung excitement

For a first SUV/car, and for the purpose you mentioned, go for a CRV. It will last you a long time, has lots of space, very good performance and fuel efficiency, and will retain good resale value.
Just my 2 cents.

Btw just registered as well so pretty much a noobie heheh anyway back to topic my budget is 1.2 to 1.3 so far i have somewhat of a list of SUVS that are in my price range.

-Honda CR-V
-Hyundai Tucson
-Ford Escape
-Mitsubishi ASX
-Great Wall Coolbear ( believe it or not heh

)

The Suv is morely gonna be used around city driving thats home to work and might be some small deliveries here and there but morely just city driving. Also its my first car heh so you can see why im doing a ton of research before purchasing the car

That is true but my concern in cr-v is that is getting replace next year hence i have second thoughts on purchasing it.

CR-V has a lot of space and the fuel consumption is very good. I drive from Alabang to Makati during peak hours at that and my gas consumption is 8.5km/L.
Also, the after sales service of Honda is better than most other car manufacturers here. Resale value is also proven.

I would test drive both cars and then decide from there. You will just feel that "connection" when you drive the car for you.

All our cars eventually get outmoded.
Unless one replaces them every two years, I think it's worth considering what car will hold its appeal and value over the long term.
Just my two cents.
