Hello Tsikoteers,

I decided to get the CRV2.0 MT over the Montero 2.5 MT after having read alot of complaints and issues here in Tsikot with the Montero.

I cancelled my order for Montero sport after i read issues here in Tsikot. I am not willing tho take the risk at all!

Honestly, i was very disappointed after reading the issues and complaints about the montero sport since it was my 1st choice.

i feel that its just not worth spending more than 1M for a brand new car and then ending up with alot of issues a few months later, squeeking sounds, rack and pinion and underpower issues as montero owners have pointed out.

the only complaint i found with the CRV here in tsikot is regarding fuel consumption, which i honestly dont mind since i am based here in Cebu.

I would gladly pay for fuel than replacement parts, even if the vehicle is under warranty i feel it is just not worth it going back to CASA after only 3 months from getting the unit.

I test drove the CRV and really felt i was on a first class jet. I must admit the montero has more features but in the end it boils down to time and the cost of taking care of your ride.

your threads have helped me alot with my decision. Thank you Tsikot.

As for you car enthusiasts, do you think i made the right choice? your feedback would be highly appreciated!

Good luck in your CRV, I hope you will not feel annoyed pag natabihan ka ng monty, especially the SE variant.

Anyway since you are based in Cebu, its really better you picked the CRV, sobra ng daming naka monty sa Cebu, when I droved my kids to school last week, natyempo ba naman na limang monty kaming sunod sunod na pumasok sa gate ng school. Its either a coincidence o sobra na talagang daming naka monty sa Cebu. Para na tuloy people car ang monty, I wish Sta Fe nalang binili ko, kasi konti lang Sta Fe sa Cebu. BTW I also read all the cons about MS even before I order my unit.

Matipid naman sa gas ang 2 Liter 6 Speed M/T variant ng CRV!

exactly what i was saying: mainstream big suv in a small island like cebu

kaya napapakamot ulo na lang sa'tin mga Europeans eh for an archipelago like the Philippines, puros naka SUV

samantalang mga Europeans are driving fuel efficient minicars. and tataka pa Pinoy kumbakit progressive ang Europe

dito sa'tin ang nagprogress pami-pamilya: mga mala lumba-lumbang pamilya with big big cars, tapos magkocomplain kumbakit hindi green living ang mga squatter / marginalized people

hmmm.. hindi naman siguro intimidated or inggit.. probly i would just say to myself na "sayang".. hehe

sayang because the MS was really my 1st choice pero hindi lang talaga ako willing to take the risk of encountering issues within the next 2yrs and wala talaga ako time pabalikbalik sa CASA para ipa ayos ang issues inkaso maglabasan na mga problema..

anyways, theres only me and my wife.. 2 lang kami.. wala pang anak nd no plans pa for the next few years, so i guess mas practical ang crv sakin..

yan kase mentality ata ng mga naka-montero. if they have one, they are intimidating or pede na power-tripping.

pag natatabihan ako ng Montero sport sa mall, naawa ako. kasi alam ko mangyayari sa driver eh. pinagdaanan ko na kaya yun

Just because we live in an island (Cebu) doesn't mean we bought an SUV just for city driving. A lot of SUV owners in Cebu most of the time do island hoping with their SUVs. We are just practical when choosing a vehicle, one that can drive on all road conditions in the Philippines.

sa pilipinas kasi puro lubak at madalas may baha kaya mas maganda naka suv ka dito.

pag naka minicar ka dito madudurog ka sa mga haring bus at haring jeep dito

[projector]

Matipid naman sa gas ang 2 Liter 6 Speed M/T variant ng CRV!

sabi ng mga ahente ng honda

[Starex_Gold]

+1000*jimny sir baka naman yung unit mo talagang lemon di lang naman sa mitsu may lemon e

Pre si jimny ang lemon

sabi ng mga ahente ng honda

Totoo yung sinasabi ni eggman. Yan 2.0 M/T lang ang matipid. Yung 2.0 A/T, 2.4 4WD A/T malakas sa gas..

naka montero ako pero hindi ganyan mentality ko ha...
so far so good ako with my montero atleast mas safe siya compared sa mga mini cars..

Agree! kung sing kinis lang ng NLEX at SCTEX lahat ng kalye dito masarap kahit ISPORT KAR :hysterical:

Depende yan. Kung abusado galaw ng makakatabi or makakasabay ko at medyo maliit talagang di lang intimidation gagawin ko. Pero kung matino naman at disiplinado, kahit bisikleta pinagbibigyan ko.

pag natatabihan ako ng Montero sport sa mall, naawa ako. kasi alam ko mangyayari sa driver eh. pinagdaanan ko na kaya yun

bakit naman? malay mo ba kung more than 5 sakay yun at masaya silang pamilya. ngayon, kung nag-iisa sa buhay ang sakay eh maawa ka nga kasi di lang nakakaawa yun, wala pa kausap diba?

+1000 sir lito...hehe

kami din naka montero pero hindi naman ganun mentality di kaya sir jimny naapektuhan kayo ng current car niyo kaya ganyan kayo

[FBSS]

Pero I totally agree sa inyo.

Montero, pangpamilya, perfect for families with 5 members and up (basta yung capacity nya,) and cargo space (you can load many things--parang tagline lang ng Adventure dun sa commercial), Engine- the legendary 4d56 hmm, sa tagal na ng panahon ginagamit ng mitsu to e, subok na subok na saka matibay(pero may wear issue din naman minsan)..

yung CRV kasi parang pang binata lang (yung tipong bachelor's car lang sya ika nga,) e parang di sulit kung gagamitin pampamilya, maliit.
