    Please don't recommend Innova, as that is already a given.
    approach and depart ramp clearance? a minicar with their wheels pushed to the corners will do the trick! if the british mini is too expensive for your needs, lookit the wigo, mirage hatch or celerio...
    cheep!

    or, you can opt for a different approach to your problem.
    tambakan nyo nang kaunti yung mababaw na parte. lagyan ng tubo, if drainage is an issue.

    Actually, that was the problem nga, sumasayad yung mga bisita ko sa asphalt, medyo mataas yung asphalt, versus the sidewalk, then yung ramp na namin. Pwede ba padagdagan yung sidewalk para magpantay sya sa asphalt? Ahahaha

    The Haima is fine, more than four years now. Still with us, with about 41k KMs. abused din dahil sa mga bata, ahaha makalat at mapanira talaga sila.

    That's what I heard from the SA as well. So far, I was given 185K discount and Free LTO and TPL from the dealer for the GLS Standard. SRP is still at 1,555,000. I am planning to get a unit before Christmas.

    Hopefully I would be able to get it to 200K when I am ready to pay.

    that's less than 2% of the cash price.
    nice to nitpick, but...
    not a big deal to those who can really afford her.

    i know how you feel, but the sidewalk is government control, po.

    it isn't so much the ground clearance as it is the approach and depart angles, that concern your problem.
    i a have colleague... "guys, baba muna kayo; malapit na tayo sa exit.."

    well a lot of times it's very nice to have a separate compartment at the back like in a traditional sedan. like when getting take-out food you can just lock it up in the trunk. in an SUV you stink up the whole car unless you have a large plastic box. but what if you wanna transport 2 bags of cement? easy on a sedan. in SUV you fill the entire cabin w/ cement dust

    so why don't they build a sedan w/ a bit higher ground clearance? it doesn't have to be a lot i mean they just have to tweak their CAD files here and there. oh and get rid of those overhangs in front bumper that keep scraping on ramps. voila
