Ownership proposition of the Spacegear is answerable in two questions: first is, do you need to carry around nine to ten people at a time?  If the answer is yes, then the Spacegear could be a good consideration, but there are other nice choices out there.  For a few hundred thousands less, the Hyundai Starex, essentially a twin of the Spacegear offers better value for money and is more refined to boot.  If you want the appearance to come with the convenience of people carrying, then add two hundred thousand pesos more and go for the Mitsubishi Pajero or Isuzu Trooper instead, as both can carry nine people as well.  The second question is: do you have a driver?  Unfortunately, for everything that the Spacegear has promised that 20^th century father, it still drives like a 19^th century carriage, and probably the only person willing to take a whole day’s punishment of driving this thing would be someone you actually have to pay: a driver.  Beyond that, it is impractical to carry so much bulk and you’ll have to suffer in driving it.

The Mitsubishi Spacegear may have the looks, but it doesn’t have the refinement or the amenities expected from something that costs so much.  Family men out there who are looking for a proper transport for nine should look elsewhere.

Perhaps a Hyundai Starex is in order?
