    Bienvenido aqui na Mirage Forum!

    I got the GLS, with the various features enumerated below.

    The deal makers were:
    -ABS / EBD
    -Split-folding seats with 3pt. seatbelt for the middle passenger and child seat anchors
    -The green color!

    The "nice to haves" were (things that sweetened the deal but would not have swayed my decision significantly):
    -Rear cargo cover / deck lid
    -Aero rear spoiler
    -Power-adjustable mirrors
    -Power rear windows
    -GPS navigation
    -15" alloy wheels
    -Fog lamps
    -Front anti-roll bar
    -Height-adjustable driver seat
    -Various cosmetic enhancements such as dashboard silver accents and leather-wrapped steering and shift knob

    Things I didn't care about either way
    -Keyless operation
    -Electronic climate control

    I think, for the newer model (2014) GLS, you'll have steering wheel audio controls (which I like), iPod/USB connector on the center console instead of inside the glove box (don't particularly care), and a chrome muffler extension (meh).

    Sure - you could add different wheels & stabilizer bar afterward to a GLX. But not ABS.

    So that might be the big deal breaker if it's a concern for you. Also the center 3-point seatbelt in the rear as Alpha mentioned.

    Yes, those are actually the things that I also like about the GLS. So i think it's really just a matter of being able to hold out for longer to get a car or just getting the GLX since I really need a means of transportation the soonest possible time.
    Thanks! Oh, and Thank you for the greetings. Very good use of Spanish/Chavacano, I must say.

    Good luck on the purchase. I don't need the navi since in holland cars got molested and stolen because of the gps navigation. It's a very crappy unsafe country. I bought a mobile phone navi so it's not a pre. There's 5 different models here and i think there only 2 models in philiphine? I think you should go for the lower models and add up the features you really must have. When it reaches the point that the price is goes more than the higher model you then better take the higher model.
