Talaga? Always thought that the new ones are spacious on the inside. Ganda pa naman ng exterior design.

I see the XV as the cheapest AWD vehicle with good ground clearance that I can get with all the safety features I want. Ano pa nga ba masmurang AWD with good ground clearance dito? Jimny lang ata? hehe

Good to know your experience has been good so far.

I still have the forester on my list but I like the idea of a newer platform on the XV kaya dito ako bias, but depende sa deal na available by the time na ready na.

The PMS cost, according to the sheet I posted a few days back seems relatively okay... just need to prepare for those CVT fluids hehe

Haha I'm not too tall at dalawa lang naman kami lagi so okay lang siguro, pagmasikip ang headroom buksan nalang sunroof

If space is a major factor for me though, I'd likely end up with a PPV.

Jimny is 4wd, not real time awd. Honestly, I prefer using the jimny when going on ascent or on rough roads. Probably because I am confident it will cost less in terms of parts. I have the ecosport as well mostly driven by the wife for city destinations. I like it for its ground clearance. Never looked back on sedan since I almost got swept by habagat near the mayapis creek at Buendia area. Jimny saved me and my family on that day.

Ooppss I stand corrected hehe tama part time 4WD nga ang Jimny pala. Nice you seem to prefer small vehicles with high ground clearance. That Jimny though, if may budget lang pang offroad, I'll get that instead of Jeep Wrangler para d masakit iharabas hehe

It's unlikely I'd go offroading, I got around in both Ranger and Everest FWD before although preference ko talaga high ground clearance but the most I'll do is long roadtrips. The longest roadtrip I did was around 2,200KM (BGC-Mt. Province-Cebu)

Of all the roadtrips, I only got stuck twice... once on a hidden waterfall in southern Cebu and another in Bangui (sand), so I think the XV will be useful in times like this. Plus I don't think any other vehicle with similar or lower price tag can match its safety features. (except the base Forester? :D)

Small size vehicles has its advantages in manila traffic and tight parking spots. Sa malls, you can climb the gutters and have your own "special parking" slot. That is one advantage of the XV.

8 km/l paps. Better than ecosport na nasa 6 or 7 km/l lang. Of course 1.3 lang ang jimny.

Parang malakas sa gas for such a small engine. However, big factor yung 4x4 sa gas consumption nyang Jimny.

Pero yung Ecosport mo ha, parang humahabol sa consumption ng bigger CUVs.
