2007 Honda CR-V or Subaru Forester

[swimstroke]

Subaru, para iilan lang sa kalsada, di nakakaumay.

Don't underestimaste the power of honda's engine. We had a subaru forrester 2.0 AT 2004 model and our CRv 2003 2.0 AT model smokes the crap out of it. We raced from Zamboanga to Dilopog where paved straight lane stretches as far as you can see. I admit subaru's engine is smoother. parang di umaandar pag idle. pero pag mahabaan ang karera mahina sa high rpm's. Also diffucult to sell, di pareho crv namin pinagaagawan pag binenta mo. ang subaru kaw pa namimilit para bilhin...

Forester. CRV is just way too ugly for my taste.

CRV will surely sell a lot - because Filipino buyers are mostly ignorant when it comes to motoring. Most only see a car as a form of Status Symbol (hence the idiots buying a popular brand's product despite obvious defects - with no test drive nor research).

Hindi lang ang Filipino. Worldwide yan. Vanity....my favorite sin (was that Al Pacino?)

i believe those who want a Subaru want to be different. ika nga maiba naman from the common mentality.

it's like a motorola phone, pero after 5 months gusto mo na bumalik sa Nokia ulit. pero pano na, laki din investment na 1M++ so stuck ka na for serveral more years, seems like stuck forever na din ang feeling

kung gas SUV din lang, CRV na. kasi CRV lang ang mataas ang resale value ngaun na di-gasolina. i'm quite surprised that our Gen1 CRV still has a resale value of 400k++. eh less than 800k lang bili namin dito noon hehehe

i do want a subaru, not just to be different, but im a person who is aggressive, dynamic, young and energetic. and i want a personal car that would somehow reflect those characters, ofcourse responsible driver naman tayo at di naman bastabasta lang ihahataw. eversince nagtestdrive ako ng Subaru (FXT at WRX), naging bigfan nila ako. iba yung pakiramdam eh, raw and macho plus the power, handling and ride.

resale value? mataas nga sa CRV, pero pag nakakita ka naman ng Forester eh naiiyak ka sa inggit. i do drive a Santa Fe, im very happy with it, really. but im still dreaming about having a Forester XT or WRX, kung bibigay ng Langit.
so i think, mas importante tinitibok ng puso mo.

but thats just me

I always choose performance over looks.



I'd choose a Subie over a Honda anytime.

Forester! ay kay ganda na sasakyan yan o

Ang mobile phone madaling palitan, pero ang auto hindi. Panigurado may comparison na mangyayari, test drive, magbabasa ng mga reviews, manghihingi ng feedbacks, etc.

The funny thing is, kahit na alam mong lamang yung isa, kung bias ka naman dun sa isa at yun ang talagang gusto mo, yun parin sa malamang ang kukunin mo.

For me, its all a matter of personal taste. if crv had the engine and drive layout of a subaru. it sell millions more. but nobody's perfect i suppose. For me its a CRV hands down. after all if you really want a speed machine, get a mitsu evo or a WRX not a forester.

the forester XT is quicker and faster than the WRX. just ask subaru fanboy HBV.

isa pang mahirap sa Subaru, iisa lang ata branch nyan sa EDSa, panu kung taga-Paranaque ka o taga-Bulacan. tapos nasiraan ka, ang layo ng pa-tow niya. mahal hehehe

Umayaw yung Murano.

If you want manual mode and permanent AWD, go with the Subaru.

If you want practicality and cheap price, go with the New CR-V (even if the front looks damn ugly)

Overall, I guess the Forester (2.0 or 2.5) has the slight edge.

:shocked2:

* FXT: langya ka bro laglagan ah :twak:

kaw ang fanboy sa handle pa lang eh :bwahaha::hysterical:

[wren]

:bwahaha: honga eh. gusto kong palitan, pero ayaw ni m2.

btw, nice video. i still remember one time when we went snowboarding in a 4WD Toyota Sequoia. my friend was so pissed off that the little subarus were running circles around his big macho SUV.

Well if a forester XT is faster than a WRX Sti, then they should have used a forester in their rally and races. Better inform subaru quick!

Hands down subaru's AWD is the best. But the company is has been losing money due to poor sales. GM has sold it's stake in Subaru to Toyota last oct 2005. Subaru is a losing company due to it's poor sales,dealer support and after sales service. Parts availability is a nightmare especially here in the
Philippines. When we bought our subaru and all our friends told us "WoW its a great car!", "Nice Engine!" "Unique Boxer Engine yan!". But when the time came to sell it. No friend would even give it a second thought. It was very hard to sell. Even though I was selling our Subaru Forester , My friends would ask "Crv mo nalang bilhin ko." or "Crv mo nalang benta mo". Finally It was sold cheap. no resale talaga.

Good Luck!!

you did not mention STi sa last post mo, so i was referring to the regular WRX. i'm sorry you had a bad experience with the forester.

Subaru's are doing well here in the US and AFAIK the US north & southeast combined has more subies than any other part of the country. Well im assuming you had the 1st gen forester right? i never had any problem with my dealer or after sales support in fact i get free oil changes from them which i get from the mail time to time and my service advisor even calls me to schedule an appointment... i didn't know that they are a losing company since when?

im sorry too if you had a terrible experience with the fozzie..

moving along :car:
