hi thinking of buying either of the two. can seem to make up my mind which
one to get. they both fall in my budget of 45k. though the pajero io is
slightly more than 45k.
i dont have issues with power or space. just want to know which one is a
lesser hassle to maintain and has better resale value as i will only use it
for 2-3 years.
thanks in advance.

I have had an io 1.8 GDI before.Very solid but the engine is a gasoline
direct injection with lots of problem.I think the fuel is not suitable as
ours, thanks to high sulphur content.
Car is solidly built.Japanese quality.Power is ok only.
I know there is the fuel injected version which is able to 'inhale' our
high sulphur.
As for the Ford Escape,I have not owned one before.Maybe you should think
of the 2.3 version instead of the 2.0.

Rahman,
I'm thinking of buying one too, how do you overcome this problem? Is it
worth the trouble in the first place?

Josh,
Like I said if you want the pajero get the non GDI engined ones.
You will regret it if you do.
The way I overcame the problem was I sold the car.
