CRV over Montero

[Starex_Gold]

Eh yung mga ASX naman parang bumili ng mataas na Lancer

I tried comparing the looks of my past FD and my CR-V, hindi naman sila magkamukha hehehe, we bought the CR-V for comfort, it turns out na hindi pala talaga, matagtag din. hahaha. CR-V is not a higher Civic IMHO..

BTW, Honda CR-V is a CUV, nagkakamali lang siguro yung iba.. Hindi talaga SUV ang CR-V, CUV siya. Montero Sport is a SUV.

Tsikoteers, Thank you all for your comments.

We currently have a 2001 honda city MT and a 1999mitsubishi eclipse AT.

Based on my personal experience the honda city has not given me any problems at all until now it still runs great. tune up, wipers and break pads lang regular kong pinapalitan, besides that wala akong reklamo.

Our eclipse on the other hand which my mother acquired brand new in 1999 started having alot of serious issues after only 3yrs. replaced alternator, regular overheating, door handles became brittle and broke off, thud sound when shifting, sqeeking noises on with steering wheel and suspension. Some of these issues gets fixed but re-appears again eventually. A few common issues i have pointed out apparently still appear on the MS based on what i have read here sa tsikot.

Of course, i was very dissapointed since i already paid a reservation fee with Mitsubishi for the montero, i do not want to go through the same ordeal with our eclipse. I know that a sedan is completely different from an SUV but bottom line is they are of the same manufacturer.

Also phoned a friend who owns a montero and asked how his unit is doing after 9months na sa kanya. his feedback is so far so good naman raw but he does hear some squeeking with steering wheel and medyo may amoy raw aircon but he doesnt mind naman raw. hehe for me, malaking factor na kc yan.

I am simply sharing my personal experience comparing both brands. I hope my opinion also helps other people who has the same dilemma i had before deciding to go for the CRV or Montero.

i strongly agree that the MS is more gwapo and macho but the biggest factor for me is what happens in the next few years.

nope hindi sa looks... kasi ung CRV parang Sedan lang 5 seater lang ata.. ang sedan is 5 seater din diba? kasi kami 5 sa family kaya kailangan ng mas malaki sakto yung montero samin ayaw na namin sa fortuner kasi ambagal at matagtag..

[Starex_Gold]

Yep, 5 seater lang. Pati lahat ng CUV, except for the Captiva.

Of course if you're a family of 5, kailangan mo talaga ng extra space and seats, kung sakali may sasabay pa o marami ang gamit.

Though the CR-V has a decent space naman, roomier than the Tucson.

Wala na rin naman tayo magagawa eh, kahit humaba ang discussion, nakabili na si TS. Alangan naman ibalik niya yung CR-V at bumili ng Montero Sport..
