CUVs around Php1.2M

**jonskee** · January 3rd, 2013 06:45 PM

I have a friend who is considering a new Sportage or a new Tucson for her purchase. She drives from manila to batangas everyday for work. Her main considerations are safety, FC and resale value. "Gadget-friendliness" is secondary (sorry don't know the term but these are iPOD connectivity, GPS, bluetooth, etc). What can you guys suggest? Are there any other notable CUV/SUV that will fall into the 1.2M budget?

Mitsubishi ASX 2.0 GLS CVT (4x2)

P1.275M less P50,000 cash discount

Pricelist Link: http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/u...stNov2012a.jpg

Effortless driving with the 2.0L MIVEC engine and CVT transmission with paddleshifts and cruise control. Keyless entry. I think the current GLS model also features push-start button.

Around 8-9km/L city driving and 12km+km/L highway driving.

Touchscreen headunit with GPS navigation. iPod compatible with bluetooth, DVD, Aux-in, USB port.

Of those options:

The ASX drives the nicest

The Gran Vitara is the best off-road

The Sportage has the nicest interior

The X-Trail has the best transmission

The X-Trail and the Escape have the best rear seats

The SX4... well... it's cheap.

I'd rather get a Soul.

Tucson diesel ka na lang, great car. Malakas ata sa gas yang sportage eh.

Pero ingat na lang sa aftersales service nila, lalo na PMS and warranty claims. Naku sasakit DAW ulo mo, magbasa basa ka na lang diyan.

Sa dami ng pagpipilian TS, papaliin mo na lang ang friend mo. Kung Manila Batangas ang biyahe siguro less priority mo yung gadgets at delicado yan sa highway. Ang GPS lalo ka lang ililigaw nyan kasi hindi naman tugma ang roads sa atin sa maps. Mag google maps na lang muna bago bumiyahe. O kaya magtanong na lang sa tsikot ng best na route.

But I like the ASX and the Grand Vitara recommendations for girl.
