Compact cute-ute (Ford) vs. Mid-size Sport Ute (Kia). Tutal pareho din namang below average ang quality ng dalawa, dun na ko sa mas maraming content. hehehehe. Saka mas malawak ang parts network ng Kia dito sa atin. Marami nang third-party stores ang humahawak ng parts at services.

Kung pagpalitin mo ang tatak ng dalawang iyan, malamang hit na hit ang Sorento. :D Masyado lang papogi at mahilig sa brand image ang mga Pinoy. A lot of folks won't even be caught dead in a Kia.

mas maluwag yata yung escape sa loob kesa sorento, size classification notwithstanding.

o siya siya, make mine a Sorento as well hehehe :D

hmm, teka, dagdag ng mga 100,000 lang, pwede nang segunda-manong GU Patrol yun... hehehe :D o kaya dalawang AMC Hammer (naks!) :D

Mas malaki ang interior ng Sorento. Hindi ba ang NHTSA classification ay based on interior volume and not exterior size? Kaya compact ang Escape while mid-size ang Sorento.

Oo nga naman, AMC Hammer. Solb tayo diyan!

labo naman nung classifications e, yung cr-v mas malaki ata yung loob kesa X5 at infiniti fx45 pero compact yung cr-v at mid-size naman yung iba (tama ba?)...

hmm... ayon sa kasulatan (hehe free time ko ngayon e :D):

CR-V : 53/50/34 cu. ft (front/rear/cargo bay with seats up)
Escape : 55/45/33 cu. ft
Sorento : 58/48/31 cu. ft
Cayenne : 55/46/19 cu. ft
FX45 : 57/46/27 cu. ft

mukhang tied at 137 total interior cu. ft. yung cr-v at sorento... ano nga ba yung basehan nung NHTSA classifications?

Interior volume ang basehan nila. So kasama ang luggage area when it comes to wagons. Hindi ko alam ang threshold when compact becomes midsize. Magkalapit lang kasi yun. :D

My unsolicited opinion? Well it would be a viable option. If given a choice between this and the Everest, or any mini-ute for that matter, i'd get this anytime.

Kia has improved leaps and bounds in such a short period of time. Imagine these guys in another ten years.....

sorrento all the way. u could take this baby offroad anytime unlike the escape na pang light offroad lang n la low range. the sorrento's offroad capabilities is comparable sa pajero n lcs. which translates into better reliability under severe drving.
