yan anim vehicle po ang aking naisip at naresearch
I am not a racer or a fast rider ang average driving speed ko is nasa 80kph - 110kph only, i don't like driving above those kaya okay lang po sakin
kahit 5 speed manual dahil napakabihira ko mag 5th gear as in once in a blue moon lang hehe
ako po ay nakatira sa probinsya at lubak lubak minsan ang daan hindi tulad sa expressway sa south to north na smooth

ang aking hinihinging payo ay which do you this of the 3 vehicle is good for family use and would build to last and easy to maintain and comfortable na rin, i plan to keep the vehicle for atleast 15 years or more (bnew)

Mostly used for hatid ng school and going to malls and picnic.
We've had our Hi-Lander for more almost a decade already, no major problems encountered compared to our TDi Starex which was a few years younger than the Isuzu pa. That's why when we were looking for a new car last year, sakto dumating yung mu-X, yun na agad kinuha namin.

While higher output CRDis are getting more attention from the market, mas kelangan din daw nila ng attention from the owners. Siguro normal lang din to for new diesels? A lot of drivers tell us their experiences with modern Hyundai CRDis, which discouraged my parents to get the Santa Fe (we were close to getting it na hehe ). Kesyo maselan daw sa fuel, mahal na PMS, etc. I dunno, siguro sulit naman sila, pero nasanay kami kasi sa Isuzu na kulang na lang wag mo na i change oil tatakbo pa rin. Hehe. Joking aside, 5 months later, so far no regrets of choosing the mu-X. Matipid (4x2 A/T), maluwag (we're 4 in the family), practical. Hehe. Hopefully the experience of owning the mu-X will be comparable to the humble Hi-Lander.

Also, tried driving it on hilly and steep roads with 6 on board, kayang kaya naman. Plus the transmission works great kasi parang may automatic engine braking siya. Am I in need of extra horsepower? 85% no. Hehe.

Btw, the 2.5 is a NEW engine, and its bigger (older) brother is rated up to 500K KMs before major repairs start to come out. I guess the 2.5 has the same rating. Also, if you value safety features, add less than 100K and you'll get a better package for the 4x2 LS-A variant with stability and traction control.
