about the gen 1 vitara....
kung interior space, parang mas maluwag ang compact car. maliit din ang trunk space nya. advantage mo lang is it can load taller but narrower items. though di ko sure kung pwede mong ifold down ang rear seats.. also, i don't think it has 'more power' than a compact sedan.

sa gen 2 vitara la pa kong experience. but compared to the gen 1, mas ok to.
