Currently driving a 2010 Hyundai Accent MC and plan to pass that to my wife. The reason for a SUV is due to my new worksite being in a rough road and flash flood prone area. The area where I drive by to get home are also prone to high water levels on the road when it rains heavily. I also drive my family to my MIL place once a while which is in a kampong area. I know there are a few other choices other than Outlander so below are my requirements:<br /><br />1) Need extra 2 seats. Occasionally I bring my parents out for dinner/shopping nearby with my family of four so need extra seats for the short drives.<br />2) Need space as both my children are growing and the Accent is quite tight at the back.<br />3) I capped my budget at 130K (few extra thousand is ok)and the 2018 Outlander 2.0 is offered at 127K (without insurance).<br />4) My drive style is pretty sedated and mild so a powerful train is not a requirement. <br />5) I drive around 35k KM a year and have no resale plans. Just plan to pass it to my wife after 6-7years. <br />6) Reasonable maintenance costs.<br /><br />The other option would be X-Trail 2.0. There are quite a number of users in my company and I&#39;ve driven them few times. I have tested the Outlander and feel it has better road grip, better NVH and the 7airbags are good safety options to have. <br /><br />What are sifus opinions/advice? Any feedback (positive or negative) from users currently using the Outlander is highly appreciated. Thank you. <!--emo&:respect:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/notworthy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='notworthy.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br /><br /> JackBot The Fast &amp; The Furious Wed, 27 Jun 2018 17:56:31 +0800
