After being in Negros and after being showed around the province in TLC 200, I was eager to get a TLC which could set you back by P4.9 for local version and as much as P8.00 for Dubai and imported versions. But after researching and when the kuripot in me got better I am for the Subaru XT which has a 2.0 liter engine I am more inclined to get a Subaru:
These are the basis of comparison:
A Price: Subaru TLC 200
1, Total Amount P1,948,000 P4,930,000 + 3,000,000 more
2, DP 278,000 all in 986,000 4x more
3. Monthly 36 mos 56,336 126,227
48 mos 44,700 99,442
60 38,367 83,662
The monthly amortization of TLC is 2x the monthly amortization for the subaru
B Dimensions and weight
Length 4610 mm 4996 mm (396 mm longer)
Width 1795 1980 mm (185 mm wider)
Height 1735 1945 mm (210 mm taller)
Weight 1,524 kg 2,740 kg (1116 kg heavier)
The Subaru XT may have lower powered engine (say vs the diesel version) but compensated by lower weight
C. Engine power
HP 247 hp 385
Torque 350 nm 650
0 - 100 6.3 (the fastest 10.1 second
in its class)
D. Fuel economy 14.1 combined 7.1 for combined (thirsty)
E Safety 6 airbags 8 airbags
2 curtain, knee
2 front passengers
2. knee
F Off road X mode for descent descent, EBD, and dynamic
hill stop, EBD suspension control
G. Other special features eyesight (a $1,300 option)
collision avoidance
SRH (Steering responsive headlight)
Seat memory
Power rear gate
Leather seats
Paddle shifter
It is a great value for money: suv like because of bigger heft: wider and taller, and race car like: because of powerful engine that are near the TLC power train and responsive because it is 1,11l kg lighter. And with drag race car 0 to 100 tine of only 6.3 seconds. It is like its cousin the wrx sti.
And it performs like a great SUV great offroader in x mode. Great in snow and mud. Unlike any other car. I wish I could get one before the excise tax kicks in
