maingay lang siguro kapag nasa labas ka ng sasakyan, pero pag nasa loob ka hindi na maingay.

if you need the SUV look and feel and want to seat a lot of people, and if you're not in a hurry, then wait for the Ford Everest.

:D
how long to wait?......... i have no idea. :?
on the montero, if I remember correctly, I think it was master OTEP who mentioned that the Montero is the spanish release of the Pajero.. they couldn't call it "Pajero" in Spain coz the word Pajero means... ehermm.. to quote master OTEP ... means... masturbator??

:lol:

The pajero is an Argentinian mountain cat. Yup it's got vibrator connotations in Spanish.

[boybi]

wulf, kung makakua ka sana yung Carnival Sedona na. ito ata yung built on american standards na. yung 1st release dito na carnival (pre-sedona) kinonsider namin dati to replace out starex, ang pangit sobra ng interior, very cheap plastics.

[afrasay]

hehe SEDONA pala. Forgot the Carnival's replacement.

wulf:::yon safari hindi naman maingay. Actually (parang SMART ah) mas tahimik siya sa Pajero ko. And hindi lang sa PSG and politico yon, pang movie celebrity din

wulf::: Based from your posts, I could sense that you really need a family van. The Sedona is a good choice, I've read some reviews from owners of the said vehicle and they are happy with their choice. Tama nga sabi mo, wait 'til you get 40++ and a hefty wallet in your pocket para sa SUV dream mo.

If you are under a strict budget, I could think out loud that Sedona 2nd hand unit will fit in. Or if you could add more budget a 2nd hand Chevy Venture could be a little more class.

Comparing an SUV to a Family van in terms of ride quality has an ample deficit, car-like ride for the van but it won't reach you far beyond dream destinations like an SUV.

[Ungas]

wulf::: Just a reminder to park in an open parking space when leaving them inside a running engine vehicle. Do not park your vehicle in closed car parks. I have heard and read news about CO2 poisoning.

Congrats on your new found automobile. :D Better wait a couple of years more til your kids are running around and jump all over the vehicle. :mrgreen:

[Ibaloi]

Congratulations! Great choice!
