AUV vs. Pick-up for city driving

[indigo]

Hi guys! Which would you recommend for city driving, AUV or Pick-up? Major factor is fuel efficiency. Thanks.

Sa pick-up ako. Strada, Ranger or D-max.


Pero kung AUV, matipid and good looks = Crosswind ako.

sa upcoming Zinger AUV ako, if not innova

drove a pick-up for 7 years mostly city, never again ...

Strada or Ranger... these pickups have a better ride than any AUV out there.

Sa AUV ako masyadong mahaba ang pickup pang city driving. Sa FC mas lamang pa rin ang AUV.

auv ako, it can accommodate personnel kahit magka siksikan with comfort.
cargo is also possible though wag lang masyadong messy.

have you tried driving any of the new pick-ups lately (i.e. strada, d-max, ranger) ???

auv's are certainly more fuel efficient than pickups on city driving, but when u do decide to take some out of town trips, you'll wish you've gotten a pickup instead....

pickup are not really well-suited for out of town trips. not enough leg room and not enough breathing space in the crew cabin when jampacked

sa pickup sigurado mamimitig mga paa mo pero kailangan tiisin ang long drive. and when you arrive at the destination, isa pang parusa yun abutin yun bags lalo na kung nasa far end ng cargo area, if with bedtop cover or carryboy.

I'd recommend an AUV for city driving. Madaming loko ngayon, you'll never know when some jerk dumps pieces of trash on your pick-up's cargo bed just for kicks.

Much as I am smitten by the new Strada, I'd still prefer a covered vehicle when going on out of town trips; I have this thing about protecting my passengers and cargo from the elements as much as possible.

which leads me to my previous question....have u tried the newer pickups?....

I would say the legroom in most pickups right now are far better than those found on most AUVs (at least in the strada) even at the back....suspensions found on auv's are bone jarring compared to the latest pickups....

but you're correct, cargo space is the auv's advantage over the pickup but with todays aftermarket options on pickup storage....i would say the advantage isn't that big at all.....

bottomline....practicality wise, the auv wins. but if you want to have some fun (and attitude) along with it, choose a pickup....the compromises are minimal compared to the bonuses of owning one....
