January 23rd, 2012 02:50 PM #4If you could still wait a bit longer pa...or shall I say it practice driving more pa sa current car mo. There would be lots of new 2012-13 models upcoming. Santa Fe is about to change models na in a few months or early next year na. Captiva and RAV 4 had been its looks for ages na din.

January 23rd, 2012 09:15 PM #6Hindi sulit yung RAV4, IMHO. Wala siyang inooffer, kung hindi ang brand na Toyota and some standard features, to make its price worth it. Masyado kasi siyang mahal para sakin.
Yung Santa Fe, since 2006 pa iyan. From then, I haven't heard any major issues that affected it.
Yung Captiva, well, not so sure. Ang alam ko lang, mahal ang maintenance. Hehehe.
You can check on the X-trail since it's way smaller and probably easier to drive for a female. Or look at the current CRV if you can't wait for the upcoming one.
Pero best bet ko talaga yung XTrail, i like it. Then the Santa Fe.
There are other options that you could consider
1. Hyundai Tucson
2. Kia Sportage
3. Kia Sorento
4. Mitsubishi ASX

January 23rd, 2012 02:51 PM #7Go with the rav4 4x4 madam. Its size is just right for female drivers. Im noy into chevy baka mamaya biglang faceout nanaman yun mga models tapos mahirapan ng pagkuha g parts in the future. Santa fe is also a good choice not sure though kung may problem sa mga units ng present santa fe. If youre after for fuel consumption then you can go for santa fe since its a diesel crdi evgt engine. If youre not OC with fuel prices then go for the rav4.

January 23rd, 2012 04:14 PM #8More reliable kasi yun rav4 compared sa dalawa. less headaches in the future.(5-10year span). And easier to drive around town. Mahirap din kasi female driver baka kung san ka pa masiraan

January 23rd, 2012 04:35 PM #9The Santa Fe has proven to be decently reliable over the past few years. The Captiva, I'm not sure, but at least the diesel engine has a VM Motori fuel system, which should be relatively okay.

The RAV4 4x4 is just way too much money for what you get. The CR-V AWD is a much, much better value... or if you value comfort and economy, the X-Trail CVT may be a good bet.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

January 23rd, 2012 04:40 PM #10For e toss-up between SF & CRV. SF if you want best value for a diesel among your choices and CR-V if gas engine.
Fasten your seatbelt! Or else... Driven To Thrill!

Techie? Sure, you will love the Head Unit
Interior? not unless you prefer for leather, ASX only have nice fabric. But safety is all around the inside, 7airbags.
Other nice specs are;
6-speed cvt (very flexible drive)
with paddle shifters (manual mode or sporty)
HID Headlight with projector (very nice in driving at night)
Keyless entry & keyless engine start/stop.
4x4 features is a shift knob (flawless)
ASC (active stability control) will help you turn a curve at 90Kph, or more...
Furthermore, Maintenance including FC is affordable & economical

Pagdating sa 40,000km PMS, doon change fluids pero wala na tranny fluid since maintenance free ang ZF 6A/T tranny ng Hyundai.
