Consumer Reports has an inconsistent manner of rating cars. If you check their buyer's guide, the individual models have different ratings compared to their final rankings. Plus, the models rated in the U.S. are all gas engined. The 2 Korean makes are available here in diesel (crdi), which deliver more dynamic driving ability (higher torque) and good fuel efficiency. I also was faced with the same choices and I chose the Sportage: 4wd, crdi, leather interiors, better looks and sportier handling compared to the CR-V.

if its m/t, crv is my choice. 6speed kasi pero if its a/t, crdi sportage piliin ko.

[AntonM]

Yup, same here, I completely agree. The 6-speed CR-V drives like the BMW X-3, but for AT, the crdi Sportage, which I went for.

[suv]

Pero in metro manila hindi magagamit yung 6th gear......5th gear malabo din...

Ako CRV sympre....AT yung sa amin......

[alex18ph]

Tucson SU version CRDI. Sulit ang features for its price tag

[freespin]

its the tucson and sportage for me!

[simpsonseclaire]

kung sosi ka, CRV!
kung practical ka, Tuscon!

[the one]

Kung sosi at practical ka, Sportage o tucson ka,
kung sosi ka lng, crv.

[ringostarr]

hindi naman sosi looking yun 4x2 na crv, bare sobra. mas maganda pa itsura ng cheaper sportage crdi

I agree, and this is the reason why I chose the Sportage - leather interiors, 4wd, diesel, roof rail, shift stick (vs. CR-V's fabric interiors, 2wd basic only for even much more money, no roof rail and shift stick was stuck on the lower dashboard, which I found unergonomic, even if it was AT!).

btw, may driver's side airbags na nga pala ang mga 2008 Hyundai Tucsons...

[pretty07]

so hard to choose!

i've been reading a number of forums na... i just got more torn between crv, tucson, sportage and carens (dhil sa space, haha)

guys help me decide, anu nga ba???? the vehicle we'll be buying will be used in the province, smooth roads, puro highway lng mostly...
hindi na ba tlga practical bumili ng crv dahil lumabas na ang tucson at sportage???

[pretty07]

Malamang nakabili na ang original na nag-post dito. But, if I were to buy an SUV today,- I'd choose the Tucson CRDi over the other 2....

3808:fish:

im buying one next month... few weeks nlng pala from now.... pero im not decided between tucson or crv....

first, gas engine over diesel... hndi ko alam which to pick! hindi ako expert sa cars....

second, honda over hyundai... not because of badge.... though it counts a bit...

any help???

[tidus1203]

Sa akin lang naman ah mag CR-V ka na, since highway naman yan as you claim the CRV's gas mated with 6 speed M/T is quite efficient in that scenario. Patay ka lang sa bumper to bumper traffic. But don't listen to me, I am a big fan of Honda engines kasi eh (both for their reliability and cheery performance) kaya it might be my biased opinion. But ok din yung Tucson and Sportage (pero di gwapo) na diesel. I think wahtever you choose walang talo, its just a matter ano mas matimbang sayo...

Parang naging pampagulo pa ata ako ah?

[just_elevates]

we have 07 crv m/t.

sulit. doing 8-9 city driving. promise.

sarap idrive.

crv ka na. HTH.

Toyota News - Strategic Vision survey favors Honda and GM

Strategic Vision just released its list of top automotive brands and models and it looks like Toyota slipped a bit while Honda held strong and GM moved up. Strategic Vision is a marketing research company that consults with automakers on vehicle values. Through surveys, they questioned more than 64,000 new vehicle owners about their experiences and whether they believe they got their money’s worth. The study is unique in that it also incorporates emotional responses to vehicles.
Honda stayed on top in the overall rankings as the best full-line automaker, which is no surprise. General Motors, however, won four categories and was the only domestic automaker with a segment-topping vehicle. Toyota, had seven winners in 2005, but managed only three categories this year. “One thing about Honda that is just really clear: They have the strongest brand equity of any brand out there,” said Alexander Edwards, president of Strategic Vision’s automotive research group. Honda’s “perceived reliability and durability,” helps boost the brand’s value, Edwards added. The full list of segment winners can be found after the jump.

since sa america ay number 1 ang tucson for a survey of 67000 people, tucson ka na. kami may tucson at maganda naman ang performance nya, malakas ang hila ng makina, hindi ka mabibitin at 5 yrs warranty sya. at scratch proof ang interior nya. good kung may mga pets kang sobra likot eh kami kase meron hehehe. saka diesel naman so makakamura ka kesa gas.
