santa fe vs forester 2.5XT

[gizzzo]

I know they're not the same category but they are in the same price range. I've looked around and I'm down to this 2.

what are the pros and cons for each? What kind of driver and what kind of driving is santa fe ideal for? Forester 2.5XT?

thanks for the help!

Forester = speed and performance

Santa Fe = everything else

[Djerms]

Forester = Fun and dynamism
Sta Fe (being bigger) = Forester pushed aside Hihihi....

Which would result to Forester = Running away....hehe

Forester = speed and performance

Santa Fe = everything else

bias?

[tidus1203]

Nope, just the truth...

Who's more fuel efficient = SF
Who's more spacious = SF
Who's more practical = SF
Who's more luxurious = SF

so yeah everything else...

[aejhayl17]

Unless you need the extra 2 spaces, then I`d go with the FXT.

After all, for sure, it's all performance you're after ...

Santa Fe: those looking for a comfortable SUV with power would want this SUV.
pros- good fc, luxury, space, extra 2 seats, features
cons- don't really see any cons, probably maintenance?

Forester XT: if you want a fun CUV this is it, when it comes to performance and power nothing can beat the XT in it's class. i'm not saying the Sta Fe is slow, but all other competitors will eat the XT's dust, drag racing and on the track. the hanlding of the XT is just amazing.
pros- power, handling and all out performance
cons- bad fc, plain interior, 5 seats only, 1 casa

+1 on foresterx's review.

If you want all out power and handling, FXT.

You could eventually bump up the power on the Santa Fe with some aftermarket mods, for the power side, but it still won't handle like the FXT.

The single casa is perhaps the major con for me. I can handle the bad fc since it gives me performance to smile about. Ok lang din yung plain interior and 5 seats.

faster= Forester XT
better handling= Forester XT
BUT OTHER THAN THAT:
better dealer network= Santa Fe
more features= Santa Fe
more reasonable pricing= Santa Fe
better looking (subjective ha)= Santa Fe
more economical= Santa Fe
more spacious= Santa Fe
more luxurious= Santa Fe

[Djerms]

i agree with this.

Yup. Exactly my point.

Forester 2.5 XT!

hi guys,

Luxury? i have both and I don't see the difference in terms of luxury.... Feeling ko mas ok ang interior ng 07 sf kaysa sa 10. Pero exterior and engine, I go for the 10 SF..


For me, the SF is more of a practical vehicle due to maintenance.. Sa fxt kasi wala kang option masyado specially sa mga parts kung hindi sa casa. Unlike sa SF may option ka sa labas like goodgear...

Ride = fxt..

Space = sf, bigger compartment...

besides pareho lang naman silang SF.. Santa Fe and Subaru Forester..

Pero kung bibili ako today, with my status i'll go for the SF. Pero kung single.. go for the FXT..

Who better to know about these cars than the one who owns both...

May pagkaiba ba ang interior? Wala akong nahalata ah, ano nga ba ang pagkakaiba bukod sa sound system?

oo nga what's the difference ba? i haven't seen the interior of the 07 and 08.

[tidus1203]

Sa 4X2 malaki difference ng 2007 and 2010...

Sa 2007 leather seats at pati yung door trims leather. Yung wood nya maganda pagkagawa di makintab at di mukang fake wood.

Yung 2010 wala ng leather yun both seats and door trims. Yung wood makintab na din which does not look nice. Although mas maganda ang gauges ng 2010 kasi optitron and the design looks better...

Sa exterior naman I like the 2007's front grille better, I also like its mags better and I like the fact na the roof rails are BLACK and the new 2010 is SILVER...

[[archie]]

ill go for subaru here. even if maganda SF, performance and handling is great for the forester.

sarap drive, yun nga lang lakas sa gas. hehe

Nope, just the truth...

Who's more fuel efficient = SF
Who's more spacious = SF
Who's more practical = SF
Who's more luxurious = SF

so yeah everything else...

Safety goes to Forester.
