Looking for the best crossover from 800k- 1.3M

[dr. d]

Other companies should just stop even trying. Everyone should just buy Toyota. ������

if they did that,
honda would probably have remained a motorcycle,
and kia a bicycle maker.
and all toyotas, even the TOTLs, remain being pawis-everything instead of power-everything.
heh heh.

we need competition, if our product is to improve.

I would choose a 3-year old CRV over a brand new Territory for the same price.

At the end of 5 years, you have a 5 year old Territory and an 8 year old CRV. Just compare a 5 year old Ecosport vs an 8 year old CRV today and you’ll easily see which vehicle aged better.

Gas consumption is about par with a Territory since its 1.5 turbo isn’t exactly efficient either. Our 2.0 CRV gets about 6-7 km/L in heavy traffic, 8-9 km/L in moderate traffic, and around 13-15 km/L on the highway.

product reliability and longevity.
some buyers decide on what's offered in the showroom.
other buyers decide on the perceived scenario, several years down the road of ownership.

Well, misconception din na just because its a Toyota, parts are easy to source.
Partially true, siguro in comparison to other makers perhaps (whether Japanese, Korean, US, China, etc.)

But if its a Vios or Avanza... I'm pretty sure you'll find the part you need one way or another.
They don't make `em taxis for no reason

Yun nga lang, asar talo ka when relatives/friends hitch a ride:

"Ser, paki switch on ang metro ha?"

"flat rate po tayo. bayad muna bago abante."
heh heh.

but there is one scenario i can envision, wherein everyone, even the most jaded automotive matapobre, will welcome a vios.
"kapag umuulan."

even the Americans chose what's like here in the PH..

Toyota overtakes GM as the best-selling automaker in US -AUTOINDUSTRIYA

Leading the way was the RAV4 which saw Toyota deliver a total of 407,739 units to customers in the US. This is surprising considering Toyota sold fewer RAV4s compared to 2020 when they were able to sell 430,387 units.

So basically the life hack here is to just buy whatever everybody else is buying?

cars.

low cost.
reliability.
performance.

we can choose only two.
three is impossible.

and because, i believe, many choose low cost and reliability, real or imagined,
toyota is king.

With a fortuner though, you can only choose one.

“Wag po kayo mag alala, hindi LPG ito!”

Speaking of which, parang wala nang ganun (bec. both drivers and the riding public hated them, para kang high when you get off bec of the large no. of shoddy, fly by night conversions)

What now if you (unwisely) converted your vehicle when the infrastructure is almost no longer existent (LPG stations)?

We understand what you’re saying naman. If everybody bought and drove the same things, that would be extremely BORING. Parang communist country (former East Germany- Trabant, etc.)

But as I did say earlier, (kadalasan) ganito yung mga bumibili from what I call "alanganin" manufacturers:

[edited]

• For some, it’s like the “Pearl of Great Price” in the Gospels. Talagang gusto nila yun. "Pake nyo?!?! Sabihin nila.
• Sa iba naman, bumili ng unit because they liked the features and nasa price range of what they’re willing to spend in the normal, ordinary course of things; and
• Neither of the above, but maluho (at minsan, mayabang pa).

To illustrate my point what happens when a car manufacturer pulls out of the local market, I found a thread here about the Fiat Uno- its a depressing read.
