Iba pag Japan! Compare a 10 year old Hi-lux to a 10 year old Korean made, same kilometer reading. Mas mahal pa ang parts of Korean made vehicles kaysa Toyota.

Hahaha... just trying to keep things in perspective.

While, yes, they do follow Toyota quality standards, the interior materials and build of the Fortuner is a far cry from the CBU RAV4. All you have to do is drive both back to back to see for yourself, eh. From that viewpoint, I don't expect the interior to be any more durable than that of the Tucson.

-------

The RAV4 is a great car... drives very well, very luxurious... but it's also expensive. The CR-V, IMHO, is the best value for money Compact SUV out there... some people complain the rear bench is a little flat and slippery, but the CR-V's combination of ride, handling, power and fuel economy make it one of the most practical gasoline powered vehicles on the market.

If you want the most metal for the money... 900k nalang ang Ford Escape. Very comfortable... not the most fuel efficient, but not as bad as some people say.

--------

The Carnival looks great, seats a lot of people... I'm just wary of the fuel consumption of that hulking big 2.9 liter engine. If you're not always carrying six to eight people, it might not be for you.
