Honda CRV 2004 4x2 at
Toyota Rav4 2004 4x2 at
Nissan Xtrail 2004 4x2 at

Which of above car is better? Fuel consumption, ergonomic, build, and etc. (I'd like to know the honest opinion for those who owned and drive the mentioned cars).

I'm totally new to cars so forgive me for my newbish questions. Many thanks.

Among the three I would go for the xtrail. It has the best suspension among the 3. Gripes ko lang is yung alternator pulley madali masira and the dash easily gets scratched. The rav 1.8 4x2 doesnt have a/t. M/t lang. 2nd gen CRV sobrang stiff suspension nito and lakas sa gas.

Actually, the second generation CRV isn't all that bad. It's main selling point at its time was that Honda marketed it as a "10-seater" car giving it a tax loophole. At it's time, it was priced under the 1 million peso mark while rival Toyota RAV4s were at 1.4m. HUGE discount
