ERRATUM: The XV pictured here has leather seats, not fabric as shown up top.

There are several more features that are not listed but we'll let the pundits here at tsikot point these ones out.

^^^TopGearPH should have pitted the Forester 2.0i-L against the CRV 2.0S and CX5 FWD 2.0 Pro. The XV is more in the likes of the CX3 and HRV.

Mazda CX-5 for me kasi hindi CVT. I wouldn't buy a car with a CVT priced above ₱1mn. Pero kung hindi CVT yung CR-V, tie sila ng CX-5 sakin, but that's just me.

I think the premise behind this comparo was that these 3 are all-new releases for 2017 and are priced very close to each other.

They are still not in the same category ... Topgear ph is like Yugatech, they sometimes just post articles so they'll have something to post ...

Care to elaborate why? I mean if there is something wrong with a car that has cvt in that price range...

^^^ I have no idea where all this CVT scare is coming from but CVTs nowadays are much better than those 10-15 years ago. CVT issues before maybe attributed to system unreliability but a lot are caused by poor maintenance.
