I'm not sure if the trailblazer and Montero have ESP.. Pero sa SF mayroon and it really helps.. Nasubukan ko kahapon sa SLEX.. Mas stable siya on a high speed compared to my previous 2nd Gen pre-FL SF..

If you choose the 4X2 SF only, pwede na ang HARI... I opted to get a 4x2 instead a 4x4 even if I can afford it because of the price difference.... Naging practical ako... Almost 450K ang difference.. Yung mga added features naman pwede naman wala.. For some ang reason nila better nandyan kaysa wala... For me, personal choice ko lang.. Example, SUN ROOF, my other car has a SUN ROOF, mag 2 years na at hindi ko pa nagagamit... Eto pa, the other day, may isang SONATA na nasa CASA, basag ang SUN ROOF, nahulugan daw ng BUKO.. tsk tsk.. malas... I love the features of the KDM, kaso ang sablay talaga yung LCD cluster nya sa dash board, KOREAN and not ENGLISH, kung ok lang sa iyo yan, then go get the KDM version.. Kaso ako hindi ko ma take... Lastly, yung FC ng SF malaki ang improvement, from my previous 7 KM/L, naging 9.5KM/L for my usual route.

Grabeng sambakol ng malas naman nun, nahulugan ng buko right dead center sa sunroof glass

Pero grabe nakakatawa to ah, buy a 1.5M car, buko lang ang katapat lol

for 1.8M, I'd rather get a KIA Sorento. Pareho lang naman yan ng SF (i know na 3 lang ang choices mo though).

Actually, 4x4 is nice to have but not really my requirement. Santa Fe 4x2 is much more specced, Montero 4x2 AT is much cheaper, and TrailBZ 4x2 is only manual, so not really apple-to-apple when comparing these three. So, more of, which is a wiser buy right now given a budget of P1.8M.

kung ako may 1.8M bibile na lang ako ng Kia Soul + suzuki SX4. ditch the diesel, milking cow na ngaun yan both ng casa as well as fuel stations. Sa casa with their required quarterly PMS else void warranty, sa fuel stations by providing dirty fuel coz of e sudden surge of PUvs.

Sa gasoline suvs ngaun, every 7500km na ang PMS, pag synthetic 10000km pwede ba stretch. tapos ang mura lang ng engine oil coz gas engines require just 1 to 1.5L liters of engine oil. Sobra sobra na.

Tas yun na nga dalawa pa tsikot mo, na may high ground clearance tas manuverable sa traffic, unlike the bulky and fat slow diesel suv. and since, mura lang acquisition, 2 insurance mo instead of 1 big limp some annually, a 1.8 M car can go 70K insurance annually.

And the cars themselves, are insurance. Coz if one morning di nag-start ang diesel suv, wala na commute ka na. Whereas, kung dalwang mini-Suv, may backup car ka.

-----

And also lastly, the smaller cars will save you from becoming big in the future, consider the smaller suv as your belt, pag di ka na kumakasya ibig sabihin lumalaki ka na, and therefore, you'll consume more resources, your expenses will grown exponentialky as your intake of fats, and lastly, magkarun ka ng diseases pag tanda mo, and therefore, instead of spending your retirement money for leisure and relaxation, you'll spend it on medicines and hospital bills

hehehe..natawa naman ako sa comment..

go for MS or StaFe, then can be driven daily

**yebo** · October 9th, 2012 04:16 PM

SF (basta huwag HARI dealer para hindi every 3-months ang PMS), for ride comfort. yung MS and TB both pick-up based, although 5-link yung TB so malamang better ride. sabagay i-test drive mo naman. all other criteria same lang sila. sa toys, bago lang TB baka wala pa.

MS, #1 sa carnap. better get a good insurance provider at baka swertehin ka imbes na may kotse e ire-refund na lang sa iyo ang insurance premium mo (ng people's general haha!) dami kasi sa kalsada madaling ibenta yung nakaw. parang jeep, dapat gawin mo 4 yung kabayo para maiba sa iba na 3 kabayo sa hood. o papinturahan mo ng weird color. fink.

basta huwag ka bibili ng sorento (para konti lang kami).
