Help in deciding which AUV/SUV to buy

**kurukutow** · April 14th, 2009 02:25 PM

I am planning to buy a second hand AUV or SUV and my budget is 350k. I currently drive a 1997 Honda Civic and its fuel consumption is 8km/liter kung city driving. Im looking for an AUV/SUV na around that figure din ang fuel consumption. I usually drive alone everyday pero I carry around 5-8 passengers pag weekends and mahilig kami mag-out of town. My choices are either: Crosswind, Revo, Adventure or the first gen CRV (2000 model) that my dad is selling to me at 340k. I need your inputs to help me decide. My primary considerations are: (1) Fuel efficiency; (2) Dapat hindi masyado matagtag; and (3) dapat hindi mausok.

Thanks.

civic going to an AUV, bro, expect that your AUV is matagtag. lahat ng naririnig ko (revo, advie, crosswind), lahat daw matagtag. ang rear is leaf spring (molye) in short, so matagtag talaga. pero comfortability ang paguusapan eto ang order ko:

crosswind, revo, adventure

kung fc ang paguusapan, tingin ko eh lahat yan pareho lang, wag mo lang isama sa usapan ang gasoline na revo at adventure.

my vote goes to crosswind, get the xuvi version kung kaya mo or kahit xto version.

pero if you can cough out a bit more, say 30k, why not go for a jdm gen 2 pajero? mas comfortable ka dun, 7-8 seating capacity, same engine with adventure (4d56), difference is it is 4d56 tdic, it has intercooler turbo. just my thoughts, its up to you to decide bro. happy hunting!

Crosswind nalang ako, pero that is if you don't mind SLLLOOOWWW....

I heard nga na Crosswind daw ay mabagal and mausok pero matipid sa diesel. Im thinking nga din of buying JDM Pajero pero maraming nagsasabi, including my dad na sirain daw. Dun sa mga actual users ng crosswind, revo or adventure,(even JDM Pajero) what do you think?

Revo. Cool A/C and malakas hatak.

i am a jdm pajero user. so far so good naman. kaso i use the 2.8 version, hindi ang 2.5. ang ano ko lang, ingat lang sa pagpili at dala ka mekaniko na mapagkakatiwalaan mo pag bibili ka ng jdm pajero. hindi siya sirain kung aalagaan mo mabuti

Lahat naman ng kotse hindi magiging sirain eh basta aalagaan lang.

yup tama, pero i suggest na xwind din malamig a/c for me di siya ganun katagtag kaso nga mabagal pero halos ganun din ok na yun!

At 350K, your choice maybe limited to the Hilander series if you go for an Isuzu. The XTRM variant is quite nice.

A Revo diesel is also a good alternative. Space-wise it beats the Adventure.

Yes kapag Revo mag diesel ka na lang (although Revo diesel is kinda crappy because old school so mabilis humingal at mabagal). Yung gas na Revo kasi gas guzzler naman. And definitely avoid the A/T Revo, sobrang antiquated ng A/T nya. 4 speed tapos ang bobo pa kailangan bitawan mo yung pedal for it to up shift on its own pag di mo binitiwan paminsan aabot pa ng 3500RPM bago mag shift mag-isa thus wasting fuel.
