*Jut: Mostly "want" ang ground clearance. Since bata pa ako, un na gusto ko. Lalo na pag may naaasar na sumasagi, iniisip ko lagi, bakit ka nag kotse na mababa...(ngayon lng na bibili na ako, nasagot tanong ko, mas mahal). It's the feature at the very top of my want list, pero yes nung linayout ko ung requirements ko, nasa baba cya. Secondary and flood (which as much as possible wag mo gagawin anyway), potholes and humps(mostly kc nakakaasar pag bitin. Although I might get used to it, but if I can avoid why not?).

How high ba difference for maintenance at insurance compared to say an Altis? I did the math on the diesel vs gas and I came up with 7-15 yrs ROI if I pay the 200k diesel mark up. So sa insurance and maintenance magkano ba difference?

Monthly installment, 0% interest. So it's flat 10k per month whether I take a sedan or an suv. Wala pong catch dito afaik.

*GTi: Well I'll think about the 2nd hands pero kabado lang talaga to get a lemon. And if 2nd hand, I'm liking the GTA in the for sale ads ng tsikot. 1st love, nadrop lng cya kc sobrang mahal.

*others: In the end, choices ko for my ride is not yet final. Right now, sa budget palang talaga ako. Go cheap and get a sedan or go higher and get a bigger ride? Most na binigay nyong suggestions naglalaro din around 900k-1.2m, so it's still under 900k sedan or under 1.2m SUV. And for anything between 1-1.2m, the Montero is really hard to beat...

Maybe pag may bagong Vios na ang design parang Altis sold na ako. Hindi ko tinanggal Vios dahil taxi cya, d ko lang talaga nagustuhan design nya. Pero mukhang sa majority mas ok padin to get a bigger ride if you can afford it.
