[crvorsf]

Hey guys please post your preference.
crv 2.0 m/t - 1.19M vs Sta Fe - 1.528M

which would you choose and why?
your inputs will really help me to decide.


Thanks

crv or sf

Sta. Fe brings a smile to you and not the masses. Plus the diesel engine is awesome and another extra 3rd row seats.

i wish I can have both in our garage. both are thrifty in fc. both are elegant-looking. the CRV never ceases to amaze me pag nakikita ko sa daan. it's like a European volvo with a Jap twist.

if I'm to choose which to buy 1st, CRV 4x2 muna before the Santa Fe. but since I already have the Santa Fe, I still prefer the new CRV over my current ride.

there's something about this CRV that'll surely give me an advantage in Manila Traffic. parang X-wing baga, weave in and out kasi tamang-tama lang ang size nya. The Santa Fe really feels wide to drive. parati ako nagpaparaya sa mga tight spots kasi baka magasgasan

That's a pretty big price gap we're looking at. Even size-wise they're not in the same league. The SF is bordering on the mid-size category already.

If price is an issue, the CR-V is already a competent vehicle on its own. Though I'd probably spring for its other competitors at the same price bracket.

i presume that cost is not an issue for you, then you have to consider your choice as to how you are goin to utilize your future suv. if looking for a seven seater, diesel fed, then santa fe wins over CRV. if you prefer a gas type and a japanese badge, crv is for you.

Though I haven't had the opportunity to drive the 07 CRV yet, I'd choose the Sta Fe for the Jekyl and Hyde CRDi w/ VGT engine (fuel-efficient but very powerful); 5+2 seating and the self-leveling suspension.
