    1. FC. Tucson will have better FC since its the only one that is diesel. I know the LPG folks will tell you that the CRV can be converted into LPG and that is true but what I am saying is if you don't modify the cars. So yeah Tucson.

    2. Ride and Performance = Toss up between CR-V and Forester.

    3. After Sales and PMS = CR-V. Subaru has only one dealer right now and its in Greenhills. Tucson I say so-so kasi some Hyundai dealers are not that good and they are not as centralized as Honda.

    1. FC (city driving) - Tucson, but the CR-V isn't that far behind.

    2.a Ride - Forester. Tucson and CR-V aren't bad, though... the CR-V isn't as bad as the old one, but it's still a bit stiff. Both cars are relatively truck-like compared to the Subie.

    2.b Performance - Acceleration: Tucson at low speeds, CR-V at higher speeds.

    Handling - I haven't tested them back to back, but I'd expect the Forester to be best, CR-V second, Tucson third.

    3. After Sales Service and PMS - Depends on how close you live to MotorImage. Subaru parts are a bit more expensive, but it's not a rip-off like German car parts are.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    No, no. I have to disagree with Niky this time. Forester is matagtag, has so-so after-sales, even poorer FC, handles like a whale, is the only car here that has a waiting list (I think), and has no freebies nor promotions except an imminent price increase. If I were you I wouldn't even consider it.

    Well, the Tucson is actually a decent vehicle... and the only compact crossover on the market with a diesel. And the new facelift introduces subtle changes that make it look upmarket.

    If the diesel 4 x 2 Tucson had been available 2 years ago, I'd have gotten it for my daily driver.

    Value for money features all-around and I think HARI has made good strides in its after-sales service.

    I will also chose the CRV in this comparo among gas-fed CUVs. Looks good outside, feel nice inside, and drives wonderfully.

    If I will choose a diesel CUV, the Tucson will get my vote ahead of the Sportage (although mechanically similar, the Tucson has a more attractive shell).

    From a practical standpoint, the Forester may not be good vehicle for long term ownership esp. if you live outside Metro Manila.

    CRV is my choice based on the considerations you mentioned (FC, Ride, after sales service).

    Thank you all for responding! At least now I'm only down to 2 choices..hay
    CRV and Subaru...although I got scared about pup2 comments.

    Which one has a better FC, accelerates faster and has a better resale value???

    I'm a big fan of M/T kaya lang grabe na ang traffic so I'm really considering and A/T. So I'm a bit concerened about A/T's acceleration.

    Pup2 was just pulling your leg... we think.

    An AT is definitely easier to drive, but definitely thirstier for gasoline. A manual transmission will save you money at the pumps.
