Hi,
thank you all for your advice. If my budget allowed I would love to go for the Montero sports, Discovery, Prado ..the choice would be limitless but alas that is not possible. \
The Teana would have been a possibility if it was a diesel; I have constraints on how much i spend on fuel. I was using a Toyota Verossa. Lovely car; plenty of space, a nice 6 cylinders under the hood and rear wheel drive ( had it for 7 years). I was pumping 23,000 rs a week and that was a bit too much.
Not only is my budget limited i have to think of cost of fuel, space and prefer a vehicle used sparingly.
Hence the decision to go in for a Santa fe or Sorento (leaning a lot towards Santa fe).
This is why a 2 WD or 4WD did not matter much.
on a lighter note with my criteria the best would be Hiace van..... space... diesel, price, reliability......BUT, the Wife simply won’t have it.
Once again.Thank you all.
