Have you considered the alternatives, that are better equipped? Ford Kuga, CBU ASX, ...?

Hill start assist lets you start driving up a hill without having to use the handbrake. Will a CVT roll back when you are in D but not on the gas? With a torque converter it's unnecessary, with a DSG or manual gearbox it is. Just not sure about CVT.

Traction control stops your tires from spinning when accelerating hard, which is good if your car has a lot of hp, or you drive on snow, ice, ... probably not so important. I think the only case where you could actually use it is if you drive through mud. However it is a part of:

Active stability control. And this is a must have feature. You are much less likely to crash/die in an accident with it. If you don't care about your life... resale value after a bad accident is kind of bad. So even for RV people it is important. laugh.gif ASC, ESP, ESC, VSC, ... basically can individually brake one or more wheels in order to keep the car under control, to make it go into the direction that you are steering in. It can stop the car from spinning for example. This is particularly important in an SUV, as due to the higher center of gravity being sideways at speed can easily mean you'll end up on your roof. You may say you drive slow, but shit can happen. Say suddenly someone/something is running across the road, or there is a car coming your way, or anything else, and you quickly need to steer away from the obstacle and then back to the road. In a car without ESP this can quickly go wrong, and you end up sideways on the other lane where there is a lorry heading straight for you, or you can end up just spinning, rolling into something. ESP will help a lot from stopping this happen.

They reckon that ESP/ASC etc. is more important in saving lives than airbags. Which doesn't mean you should not get as many airbags as you can, of course (and 2 is too little).

this is SUV, and its the cheapest and realiable, the downside is the 2wd doesnt incluse stability control, if they add 2 more air bag and stability control sure many ppl buy nod.gif

this tered suddenly comes alive. that's good

but anyway, it's boring w/o any pictures

so to potential buyers, upgrade your wheel to minimum 18" and low profile tyres. they make a LOT of difference

better if you go 19" & 20", but you'll need lowering kits
