    Honda CRV 4x4 or Nissan X-TRAIL 4x4 would be good choices for both interior space and riding comfort.

    1st gen crv is an excellent car. luwag sa loob, reasonable power, reasonable petrol consumption. can't go wrong here... pili ka lang ng fresh kasi medyo luma na nga.

    once you get it, baba lahat ng fluids, change brake pads, clean a/c, change timing belt, engine thermostat and electric fan switch.

    pick a unit that still has the original green coolant in the reserve. or, roadtest mo ng medyo matagal maybe 20 mins to see if it overheats.

    mas maganda talaga yung 1st gen CRV. i actually like this better than the gen 2, mas classic at di naluluma yung style. don't get the vitara, parang ang luma nang dating compared to the CRV. it's also cramped and slower.

    Plus the Gen 1 CRV ironically gets better fuel consumption & gives better passenger comfort compared to its older brother the Gen 2 CRV

    my vote goes to the crv or the xtrail. the vitara is simply too small.
    but if driving comfort is the premium, i'd go for the 4 door sedans like the civic, corolla, or sentra.
    and my dark horse is the revo, adventure or hilander.

    Why not add the Ford Escape (4cyl) or the Mazda Tribute to your choices??
    Otherwise, the Xtrail is a better proposition because you can get a newer car for a low price

    Would the TS be able to afford those 3 said cars ( X-trail, Tribute & Escape ) with his max budget of 320k ?
