Daily car: subaru xv 2.0i vs nissan navara el calibre AT

**carljenar** · April 8th, 2017 03:24 PM

Good day everyone. I know they are on different catergory. I just want to get your opinions. Current cars ko ngayon is 2012 hyundai accent mt and 2015 subaru brz mt. But i'm selling my accent soon so magiging eto na everyday car ko. I just want an everyday ride with a higher ground clearance since my other car isa brz. Gusto ko pareho yung looks niya. I already made a reservation for both cars. I just need to pick one. For the xv i got 70k discount plus the crosstrek kit. Sa navara walang discount and no free bedliner. I'll just use it from home to work and minsan pag may lakad with gf and family. Pag kelngan ko ng malaking auto mahihiram ko naman yung sa father or brother ko so I don't need a suv. Thanks!

it depends really on your ride preferences. The XV will drive more like a car. The Navara will be more rugged.

However, a compact car will be a much better choice for a daily ride despite its lower ground clearance.

I agree with Egan on both points.

But if you want additional cargo flexibility, pick the Navara.

If you do a lot of highway km, I'd choose the Navara. If a lot more city km the XV. Interior of the XV is tight though. Specially that rear seat.

Actually kasama sa choice ko before ang mazda 3 and civic rs. Kaso kasi brz na yung alternate car ko so parang hassle parehas low ground clearance yung kotse ko.

A sports coupe will never be as practical as a compact sedan. Since you already have a fun sporty car, a more sedate compact car will be better for a daily drive. No need for a Civic RS, the Civic 1.8L will be more than enough for a daily car.

However, if ground clearance is a must for you, then go with the XV. At least, you only have one casa to go for maintenance. If you can spend a bit more, the Forester is a more practical vehicle than the XV.

Thank you for all the inputs. Nakapag decide na ko na i'll just get a pickup. I might get the hilux G 4x2 AT instead. Nagustuhan ko interior niya and I think the price difference niya sa navara is worth it naman. Mas comfortable nga lang ng konti ride ni navara.

I'll just buy a cargo bed cover so I can put some of my things at the back.

Sir, Medyo manggugulo lang ako. My daily drive is NP300 Navara EL MT, wala naman akong problema for everyday use since maganda talaga ride kahit icompare pa sa previous gen Fort. Except nagkaroon lang ng problema (may abnormal na tunog) sa steering column assy pero under warranty naman. I chose Navara at that time since budget is 1M and I need a high ground clearance vehicle. Pero kung budget is around 1.3 M, baka gusto nyong iconsider yung 2.5 MUX LSA, nasa ganung price range kasi yung model na 'to. Thanks.

I dont need the bed. Who wants to drive with a huge bed in our small tight roads?

I prefer the XV for a daily...

Yep, a pickup is useful when you carry big stuff daily. Maybe something for business purposes or construction or the farm.

A small crossover like the XV will be better for city folks. However the interior of such small crossovers is a bit tighter than the current crop of compacts like the Civic or Altis or Sylphy.
