Santa Fe, Tucson or Forrester?

Totnak

I am planning to buy a medium SUV by April or May....I've narrowed down my search to the following:

Hyundai Santa Fe
Hyundai Tucson
Subaru Forrester

I would like to ask your opinions as to which of them would be a better choice.....please include in the maintenance and gas mileage factors....

Thanks!

Mga SUV malaki at mabigat kaya malakas sa fuel. Kaya mainam ang DIESEL VARIANT.

Maganda ang boxer engine design ng Subaru. Pero hindi ko tiyak kung available ang turbo-charged diesel variant sa Pinas.

Santa Fe kung concerned ka sa fuel consumption. Kung ok lang sayo ang 6k/liter na consumo, Forester na yan! The only reason that i'd buy a subaru is its 2.5L Turbo charged boxer engine. Kung diesel rin lang, no thanks. =D

I like the forester XT, engine and design-wise...pero yung 4-speed medyo turn-off.

Wala yung choices ko dyan but the three of them has had rave reviews...siguro test drive mo nalang bro.

Personally I'll wait for CX-5(crossing my fingers kung kaya skyActiv sa atin) and maybe Ford Escape 2012 and Subaru XV. Bibili rin ako second or third quarter. Or maybe I'll wait for the Trailblazer, sabi 4th quarter daw.

Because Subaru is known for its legendary 2.5L turbo-charged boxer engine. It's been used in rally races as well as in and out of different tracks. Though if their diesel engines could do those too and enter the wrc , then I'd open my doors to their diesel engines as well.

Subaru + 2.5L turbocharged = great car

BUT

Subaru + Turbocharged diesel = Perfect ( If their diesel' capabilities are that near to the gas variant)

IMO

mukang sa torque lang siya similar. kulang pa para makatapat ng 2.5L. Pwede narin kung di ka pala-hataw.

i saw a new mazda SUV in an exhibit at trinoma. maganda like honda CRV.

Tucson gets my vote. Diesel, and the design is fairly new. Too bad the Sorento doesnt fit your budget range.

For maintenance, you'll have more option with Hyundai as against Subaru and for FC, the diesel is definitely better; the Foresters are quite thirsty.

^yan nga. parang RAV4 ganda.

Meanie!!

Yes! Mukhang isa yan sa pagpipilian ko ah. kala ko di kaya ang skyactiv sa atin.
