Need Suggestions po... (need bigger vehicle)

**dongbadz** · September 1st, 2006 04:32 PM

We are planning to purchase a bigger car(Model 2002 up)
becauseof our upcoming baby, we need a bigger car for daily routine, our choices was either starex, xuv crosswind, Vitara, or other suggested brands and model, our budget is (+, - P500t). but our concern was the following:
1.fuel consumption?
2.Durability and comfort?
3. parts and services

Please help us to decide... we want to be sure that the purchase will be worth....

thanks.....

1. Crosswind (by far) or Adventure, even
2.a Crosswind
2.b Starex? Vitara?
3.a Crosswind or Starex
3.b casa service on the Crosswind is too expensive. Suzuki has limited casas, and Hyundai? Not familiar with casa service.

I'd go with a Vitara, Starex or a compact SUV. Or maybe even a Revo. Our baby doesn't like the ride in the Crosswind (too rough/bouncy). But you should try it first, if you can get an XTO or XT that has a softer ride (some of the older Crosswinds ride softer), then maybe that's for you.

How about the kia sedona?
ok naman fuel consumption! i get about 15-16km/l on the highway
part dami sa banawe at mura lang
sobra comfortable ung ride nya at ang luwag sa loob!

tnx sa inyo....

ano ba model ng starex ang matipid sa gas? then kasya sa budget ko?
Maganda nga starex but I heard medyo malakas din sa fuel....???

How about sa mga may crosswind na XUV? ano ba status ng XUV nyo?
Ano ba difference ng XTO/Xtreme, at XUV?

Tnx again....

Yung alam ko sa Starex na pre-2000 year model sirain and matigas mga upuan. Dunno lang mga 2000-up.

Starex for me, bouncy nga yung crosswind in my taste...

though Isuzu lovers find it confy...

I heared Kia Sedona will be releasing a new version... even with more power...

i was in the same boat several years ago and these were mostly my concern except that what i got before was a new one..

my choices before were (i.e. not in any particular order of preference)

1. starex
2. adventure
3. revo

after doing reasearch and several test drives with my wife & kids, we ended up getting the revo coz it has the highest marks in our chart. starex would have been our choice kaya lang mas mahal siya at that time at kapos sa budget. adventure on the other hand, just seemed a little behind in terms of space & comfort for us..

haven't considered SUVs back then because i had no off-roading intentions so i really don't need the extra features which i believe means extra cost in terms of mileage, parts & maintenance..
