Vehicle for travelling on rough road?

[Haruto]

Hi Tsikoteers, Sirs, Ma'ams,

Ano po ba ang recommended na vehicle for rough roads? I'm living on taytay rizal and go to work somewhere on global city. Uwian po ako everyday and ang masasabi ko lang.. awang awa po ako sa sedan namin.. and dahil nga po rough road ang kalye papunta sa rizal.. (specially on floodway!!) kawawa ang auto.. madali pating masiraan ang suspension system namin.. so i am just wondering.. ano po kaya ang magandang vehicle for travelling on rough roads (comfort , fuel efficency etc., price)

TIA~


**current ride is 97 nissan altima and 96 nissan sentra...

first on the list is dapat RWD. mas matipid i maintain front suspension ng RWD. then you can also opt for rear leaf springs for the rear like AUVs Crosswind and Adventure.

2nd hand? a 97-99 Vitara shall suffice. Get a manual para fuel efficient. It has good backbone for off road or flood swimming hehehe better than same age RAV or CRV. 1.6L engine lang matipid sa gas.

1. Nissan Navara LE
2. Mitsubishi Strada GLX
3. Ford Ranger Trekker

yeap, pero im also having some double take, sabi kasi ng mga nakakausap ko kadalasan ang sakit sa nissan is yung idling and napakahirap daw nun ayusin kapag nagkaprob.. ) well i've experience some of the idling issues sa altima ko.. may ganung prob din ba kapag xtrail?

Rides as if the suspension was made wood.

Fine if you are off-roading. Tiring if you are driving on the road for long distances.

Have you considered the Nissan X-Trail?

Xtrail wala naman manual sir di ba? mas ok imho ang manual sa baha.

[basti08]

yup sir. medyo mura pa. hehehe

Honestly, if the road is flooded and looks deep, best NOT to even attempt to drive through it.

So the point of that a manual tranny is best in floods might not be as much of a deciding factor as compared to driving comfort for the other 300 days of the year spent on the road driving.
