Help in choosing my first own car

[GTi]

120hp and 300Nm in a car of this size cannot be considered as underpowered, but neither is it competitive. At this size and price point, it would be competing against the diesel Santa Fe and Sorento, both of which have 80 more horses and 136Nm more torque, though 3 cogs down in the tranny. IMHO its like fitting an Accent CRDi engine in a Santa Fe, while still maintaining full Santa Fe prices.

Do you guys recommend the 2018 CRV S Diesel over the 2018 XV 2.0i-S or 2017 Civic RS Turbo? Would it be a better buy considering this is Honda's first diesel attempt?

It looks like the 2018 XV won't get EyeSight after all but it has some features like lane change assist, high beam assist, and rear cross-traffic detection.

Each one has its own opinions/biases on car choices but on your list above, I'd go with the Civic. I prefer a zippy drive. If I'm going for a diesel vehicle, I'd go with Volkswagen.

As most would say, most local buyers have no penchant for performance but what matters more to them is the brand name. Pinoys are quite brand conscious folks. The CRV will surely outsell the Santa Fe and Sorento.

Wow, didn't know the Business Edition of the VW already had advanced safety features. It presents itself as a good bargain considering the Everest Titanium Premium is the next cheapest car with those features.

It looks subdued but is an eye-catcher everytime I see one on the road.
