Good day. Ask ko lang kung ano ok bilhin ang Grand Vitara at Escape? Ang alam ko both vehicles are CBU. Ask ko lang kung ano ang reliability, parts availability at resale value nito? Both vehicles are good looks. And in terms or more ruggedness, who is the winner? Thanks.
the vitara has the ladder frame incorporated to its monocoque body, which gives it true ruggedness. It also is a looker versus the escape. Parts, accessories and reliability is better for the GV - I drive one. The office also has a Ford Escape which I use from time to time, and the interior looks dated IMHO versus the GV. GV it is for me.
Ruggedness and looks? I prefer GV over Escape and even with CRV, The price of fully loaded GV is comparable to a base model CRV (here in Texas). I used to own a 2007 GV Luxury that is why I am biased when it comes to ruggedness, it can cross river and climb mountains. GV is a very reliable SUV that can handle abuse offroad, watch GV videos in Youtube so you would know what I mean.
There was no single issue with the 2007 GV for 2 1/2 years I owned it.
