2013 Honda CRV 2.0S or 2013 RAV4 or Forester 2.0XS

**WOS** · January 31st, 2013 01:37 AM

Hi!

Newbie here and need expert opinion on which car would be highly recommended for a family car:
2013 Honda CRV
2013 RAV4 (currently no units available yet)
Forester 2.0XS
Hyundai Tucson Limited edition

Your opinions will be highly appreciated.

Additional question for those who would suggest the Forester 2.0XS. Would you get the current model or is it better to wait for the new soon-to-be released 2014 model?

Thanks in advance.

Any of the four options given are really good SUVs.

As for the TUCSON, the design is getting a bit too common with all Hyundai cars sporting the same body styling. BUT the interior is very nice.

For me i'd get the crv.

The tucson is a nice suv pero parang hindi sya yung timeless design, it looks old to me already. The tourquey engine is so good. The sunroofs are just so amazing.
The rav4 i think is too expensive already but i guess its necause of the top-notch quality. The looks is just alright but the outgoing model is nicer to look at.

I've test driven the Forester 2.0 XS, and the XV and they're like apples and oranges.

Forester -- very compliant suspension, heaps of body roll, and sounded/rattled? like an over used vios taxi over speed bumps -- quite noisy and unrefined;
XV -- firm suspension (prompting me to ask if the tyres are over inflated); solid feel, better looking, more solid interior against the forester; less body roll than the forester.

Also tried the CX-5 and liked it best among the lot. -- little body roll; sharp steering, very balanced suspension, interior in the same class as the XV if not better. Interior space is between the forester and XV.

Caveat: My daily driver is a genesis coupe, so I took the turns similar to how I do it in my daily driver. :D Perhaps I favour a more sporty feel.

TS: test drive and see which vehicle suits you best.

my vote goes to tucson (premium) because of the engine, diesel yet powerful. I just sold my 07 rav4 (4 km/l average in MM) ;p

Factory leather yan ng Limited Edition Tucson.

Honda CR-V gets my vote. Yung ThDM 2.0 A/T with leather seats and HID.

Actually kahapon may nakasalubong na akong Rav-4, from Toyota Bicutan, color white, not sure kung anong variant, basta ang ganda

I'd go for the RAV4 or the CRV 2.0 full spec. But you may also want to consider CX-5 and Xtrail CVT. Features and comfort na lng labanan ngayon. I don't bother with engine displacement much these days because of the traffic.
