why should i consider buying a 2nd hand crv (2002)

[boying181975]

i am torn between a rav4, escape and crv. My budget is around 300-400 and i'm not really that knowledgeable when it comes to car issues. My main concern is durability, and consumption. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

If FC is your concern, forget the 2nd gen CR-V as its a guzzler. I'd probably look for a Rav4.

Durability, it really depends on how the previous owner maintained the car.

Sa consumption,- talo ka lahat diyan...

mag vios ka na lang kung concern mo ay durability and consumption

[renzo_d10]

Hindi lang pagiging guzzler yung issue ng Gen. 2 CRV, pati comfort sablay.

Kung gusto mo talaga ng CRV, mag Gen. 1 ka nalang.

Pero sa choices mo, dun nalang ako sa RAV4. Talo ka rin naman sa fuel economy ng Escape, although maganda comfort niya.

pag M/T na escape, ok yun. pero kung 2.0 then A/T talong talo, pero kung 2.3A/T okae ung consumption niya, reasonable naman.

Mukhang ok naman gen2 CRV, malakas lang talga ung K20 ng CRV sa gas because it's detuned and nabibigatan for the CRV's body.

if you're goin for the 2.0M/T and 2.3A/t escape, then FC is quite well but with the 2.0A/t then you're just as good as the CRV. but the ride is wowowow!

If only the CRV's K20 is tuned for the CRV's weight then, it would most likely be good. Pero hinde.

Kung durability ang usapan, Escape hands down. The 2.3L Escape is also the most powerful among the three, and yet gives reasonable gas mileage. I like its looks best among the three and the ride and handling is very good too. The Escape is also the newest you can get for your budget. I find the Rav4 to be rather cramped inside and they say the ride is rather bumpy. The CRV is notorious for bad fuel consumption, though space is abundant as seen by the fact that it can support a 3rd row.

I really just cant help but notice the similarity of your thread's tittle to mine which was posted some months ago. Also, same kinda problem din..hehehe! Though in my case, Escape is my first choice and ended up with it. Thru the help of tsikoteers, and also sir GTi, i've considered acquiring the 2.3l Ford Escape 2005 model. We're residing at Bacoor Cavite and working in Intramuros. My gas consumption is 8.00 to 8.5km/L, mixed of highway and city driving.

I love our Escape. Meron part sa coastal going to cavite na medyo rough road. Doon yung part na iiwanan ko yung makukulit na sasakyan na parang bulate..hahaha!

Please note that since 2nd hand yung car, you may expect to replace some parts of the car

Haha~ Hello there! I'm glad you're enjoying your car! But seriously...? 8-8.5km/L? Nilagyan mo ba talaga ng itlog yung ilalim ng accelerator mo like I said? Yung 2.0XLT namin kasi talagang napakatindi uminom... Comparable to V6 engines na ang FC niya eh!

2.3L kasi sakanya, brad. Sayo 2.0L.

Malakas talaga uminom yung 2.0L. Ewan ko kung kapareho ng consumption yan nung naka-drive ako ng 3.0L V6. 5.5km/L city driving with traffic. Pero pag piniga mo naman accelerator nun, mapapangiti ka. V6 yo!

Oonga. Kainggit nga eh. He gets both power AND fuel efficiency. I don't drive this one often but when I do, I made some approximate calculations with the fuel gauge in the exact middle and data from the tripmeter. Nasa mga 5-6km/L din. Of course the way it is driven is always heavy footed driving and reaching 4000rpm regularly is not really out of the ordinary.

hi sir! 8-8.5km/L basta daddy driving. hataw sa highway and enough speed for city driving...no egg! hehehe! thank you sir. And maaasahan sa offroard and uphill. Swerte lang din sir kasi maalaga yung naunang owner.
