Help deciding on a car: Honda BR-V 1.5 V versus Suzuki Vitara GLX 1.6

[Jc007]

since you're also considering vitara then you probably don't need the 7 seats on the br-v?

if your reason is to get a taller vehicle then the vitara might not make you happy. why not wait for the facelifted ecosport?

Nah. Ford eco sport is too small (just my opinion) and more of suzuki jimny look alike.

And yes, I don't need 7 seats - but a Honda is Honda.

Thanks for the insights.

If you ask me, none of the two. I'd happily drive a compact car (Civic, Jetta, Focus, Mazda3, Altis) than any of those for the same amount of money.

If you can spend a bit more, I suggest you get a bigger vehicle like a CUV (Forester, CX5, CRV, Xtrail, Tucson, Sportage) or maybe a diesel wagon (VW Golf GTS).

Thank you, Egan101. And yes I can spend a bit more and I'm eyeing the CRV as well. Thanks for the tips!

Kung ano ang nasa isip at puso mo, kung ano ang mas fit sa budget at purpose mo, yun ang piliin mo. First, test drive all your choices, research sa internet ng reviews at comments, after that, pray. Tapos ang problema. Basta be contented at happy sa napili mo, kung hinde matutulad ka sa ibang nagkokomento dito na puro reklamo pero wala namang bearing nirereklamo.hahaha. Happy hunting.

If you can afford the 1.8M CRV, that's obviously better than either the BRV or Vitara. But that's almost 2x the cost.

Between the two ~1M CUVs, I'd choose the Vitara.

Is Mistu still selling the ASX? They used to price it just above 1M. It is a better package than an Ecosport or Vitara though the platform is 10 years old already.

Yes they do. The cvt tranny was reconfigured around 2016 afaik. It is indeed better than ecosport or vitara imho. The engine is just qay better and fc is just about the same as the ecosport as per post of someone here from tsikot iirc. On the higway, there you will enjoy the engine and tranny package.

Had the same dilemma 2 months ago and was able to test drive both (a lot of times) from different dealers.

We chose the Vitara, no regrets.

1. Bigger engine
2. More features and toy specs
3. We dont really need the extra seating capacity
4. Better interior quality

Suzuki is indeed a better investment.

Hello! I'm on the market for a brand new subcompact/crossover. I'm currently driving a sedan and it's definitely time to replace it especially due to safety concerns. Sulit na sulit na siya kasi 90's model pa, and bothered na kami na baka tumirik na lang siya bigla soon.

Anyway, I'm eyeing either the Honda BR-V or the newly-introduced Suzuki Vitara. Medyo mataas na kukunin ko para iwas baha at iwas sabit. Some preliminary pros for each car:
BR-V: 7-seater capacity, higher ground clearance at 201 mm (vs ~180 for Vitara)
Vitara: Cruise control, sunroof, slightly better specs, slightly cheaper

If you were in my position, which would you pick? Inputs from owners of either vehicles would be amazing.

Maraming salamat!

Vitara na sir,ganda ng body nya

HR-V mas premium feel because its Honda. Hehe. Okay naman siguro yung E variant. Just upgrade it to your liking.
If the wife drives, ask mo what she thinks about the CX-3. Esp. the ride height and space. IMO, you guys, will feel safer sa higher ride.

Tho meron lang talagang charm ang mazda soul red color for the wives or gfs...

Safety concern lng namin sa 2018 na HRV E dalawa lng airbag Hindi natin masasabi aksidente eh.
Comment niya sa CX3 is masikip nga pero pwede pag tyagaan kasi dalawa lang naman kami lagi Pero mababa nga lang talaga.
Nahihirapan din sya kaya sabi nya ako na magdecide aun mas lalong humirap.

Yun nga boss iniisp ko. kaso sabi niya bahala na daw ako. nagaaral palang kasi siya mag drive.
parang mas lamang ang HRV 2017 sakin kasi mas maluwag. kaso CX3 cozy naman kahit medyo masikip.

Ano ba mas realiable sa Tatlo boss?

buy the more spacious car.
you can cozy-fy the car afterward, but you can never make it more spacious.

You may consider the Subaru Forester iL, I think it is also about 1.4M after discounts. Better safety features and more spacious.

So between CX3 n ba and vitara?
Both brands are quite reliable naman but
I’d go for vitara.
All reviews are predominantly positive even in the technical aspects.
Has higher ground clearance vs cx3
It’s roomier and higher headroom kahit cx3 is supposedly a bit ‘taller’
Yes cx3 has a classier interior compared to the underwhelming hard plastic ng vitara. Well cheaper din kc price ng vitara.
But you can do interior detailing down the line (actually it’s kinda fun if that’s your thing). Vitara kc is a no-frills vehicle but will deliver where it is needed with a few toys and techy features. And the storage is also quite big for a crossover.
