Honda CRV 1st gen MT VS Honda CIVIC FD1 MT

[greatauror28]

Go for the FD.

Seems like he can stretch the budget, since he will be ready for upgrades in the future.

Para sakin kasi kung project car, mas ok yung mechanical rather than more electrical. It's still your choice, kung porma trip, kahit alin pwede. Euro, jdm, etc. Marami upgrade na pwede. Mas budget friendly lang crv gen 1.

ung crv kasi gagawin kong project car for the future eh hehe.. gusto ko kasi honda..

Oh, I see... Don't like an Accord? 6th gen 2.3L M/T should be very nice, very fast too. Heck even the 2.0M/T is nice. It'll be more stable than any Civic or CRV and the handling is about as good as it gets for a front drive car of this class.

The 1st gen CRV has no VTEC, so part of the Honda experience is absent, unless you are planning an engine transplant. And then it still uses rear drums, and has no ABS if I'm not mistaken. If floods are not a problem to you, I suppose you'd find more joy with the FD. 2.0M/T if possible. :devil: Just try not to overdo it, lest it becomes ricey instead of sporty.

400k will go a long way when you opt for a 6th gen Accord (98-02). Most of them are priced around 200k-250k nowadays. You will have enough left for mods. It is very responsive and handles very well. 400k will even get you a 7th gen Accord (03-07) though there are no MT versions of the 7th gen. 450k will get you a 2.0L Civic FD MT but you will have to spend more to mod it.

If you can extend your budget a bit (450k-500k) and do not limit yourself to Hondas, you are now looking at a 2006-2008 Mazda6 2.3L or a 2007-2008 Ford Focus 2.0L TDCi MT.

For 400k, you can do a heck of a lot better than a first generation CR-V.

I'd go for the FD Civic. More practical. More economical in terms of fuel. Parts are more expensive, but you will go a few years more before needing major repairs, whereas with a CR-V of this age, the need for repairs is virtually guaranteed.

Best? Better in many ways yung fd. Lamang lang crv sa space and cargo loading. Personal preference ko lang mechanical than almost lahat electrical.
