'07 CRV vs Outlander vs Fortuner

[boosted]

how is it insulting if I said it's a waste of money?

Well how would you feel if you just bought a vehicle and you are satisfied with its performance, basically very happy with your purchase then somebody who I am not sure has even comprehensively test-driven the vehicle that you are happy with, says that what you just bought is a waste of money - maybe because its not a brand that he prefers - wouldn't that be insulting! let's try to control our favoratism to certain brands by bashing other brands without first hand experiences to back it up.

People will always have something to say about anything, especially when cars are concerned; it's all relative.

Me, I'm perfectly satisfied with what I'm driving right now. When the Innova first came out, people were telling me that I should have waited for that instead; it's wider, sleeker, more spacious, and it's a newer model. Even now, I still get some ribbing for choosing a vehicle commonly associated with public transport, aside from the mere fact that it's a Mitsubishi.

But personally, I feel there's a certain kind of magic that occurs to me every time I take the wheel of my Adventure, which is probably why I can forgive its faults despite knowing that there are better choices I could have made.

EDIT: The threadstarter has already opted for the Santa Fe. He's just opened another thread about it here.

Sana kasama na rin ang RAV4 at Murano sa comparison

this is OT, for sure SF would'nt be vulnerable to such problems, but atleast we'll be happy driving it for the next 3yrs or hopefully 5. im not expecting an Euro car reliability, but my hopes with this car are higher compare to the new Jap SUVs, ala pa naman yata ako naririnig na SF na nakatirik di gaya ng ibang bago.

hmmm ... i'll compute my expenses and compare

[the josh]

the 2.0 Di-D used in the european market is not really from Mitsubishi... Its from Volkswagen.



waste of money??? only a fool would say this.

peope buy cars because its their choice... it meets their lifestyle and their needs. So telling them its a waste of money is kinda rude since you seem to point that they dont know how to buy cars to fit their preference.

thats because its not made to smile the masses or you. Owners buy them because they are more satisfied with the performance and it fits their lifestyle. You are so concious with what the masses think of you! Hmmm... I wonder what would an ordinary person say about your Sta Fe. "Ay maganda pero hyundai..." Not knowing that Hyundais are getting better but still you cant force people to put in their mind that Hyundais are now good.

You cant have the satisfaction because you can only look it in your two eyes. Its like were comparing a Maybach with a Ferrari.
> Kids admire Ferrari and it brings a smile to the masses since its cool!
> Kids dont admire the Outlander but when you ask an owner. You'll understand. It brings a smile to those who buy them. Hey we are talking about drivers, not masses.

the most interesting part is that it doesnt consume as much as other V6. And knowing that the Outlander should fit active sporty lifestyle. It should have a big engine to tease girls.


Expensive? Yeah because you dont have the money yet since you already bought a new car. But if you put it in details. There is something that the Outlander can truly bring. Especially those things not mentioned in the brochure because it wont fit there.

For my lifestyle - an Outie would rock my world!
When im old and I have still have many things to think about - a CR-V would be nice.

Well said mate! :groupwave:
Mine is not a gas guzzler by the way, it's a 2.4L

[the josh]

Im not telling that its magnificent. I was just saying that one must choose between the line of his needs. But heck, its really nice to look at. A person who loves fashion, music, and performance or better yet like Jeremy Clarkson - POWER! Moreover, its not a waste of money. Its just if I have the money I'd buy something that would bring a smile to myself and not to please the masses.



That because I read the things around me and I dont want to directly conclude that other cars are better. Now, regarding the CR-V. Yes theyre popular thats because they are made to please the masses but the Outie is made for a more specific person which makes you feel special that theyre made just for you. They are for the people with different taste, thus makes you feel different from the masses.

My friend's dad drives around an EVO on weekends with his. Makes the bonding with his child better, filling the gap and talking about hp and torque and other mechanical improvement. Now his son is a nerd about cars, physics and chemistry. Now thats an investment.... hehehehe... Hi Gilbert aka Safeorigin!

Natumbok mo mna naman pre

fyi

sta fe price is 1.528M less 40k discount = 1.488M (same w/ base model outlander) and free one year insurance,registration...

outlander price 1.488M+insurance+registration= 1.5M+++

the sta fe at the moment is still the best bang for the buck...

Hi saipme,

I'm set to acquire Santa Fe and have the best offer of 40K discount + free registration. But got intrigued with the free insurance you mentioned. This was not offered yet. Would you tell which Hyundai dealer and the sales person who offers this? I plan to close the deal na this week.

A pm would be greatly appreciated to protect the dealer/sales agent...

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can extend.

Sta. Fe in terms of all comparisons. Comfortable ride, guapo all corners.
If you can afford the cost of ownership, you can also afford the cost of maintenance.
Just my opinion, basically your ride shows your status puwera na lang kung talagang simpleng tao ka lang o walang kahilig-hilig sa sasakyan.

[TFR]

After a lot of research I ended up with the SantaFe! And its GREAT!! I just love it, perdect balance of power and economy, style and comfort!!

[oldblue]

oh shucks, andami-dami na namin naka-Santa Fe. mawawala na yun tipo mapapa-2nd look sa'min sa daan kasi rare
