Honda CRV (4x2) vs. Ford Escape (4x2)

[LucasVN]

This is a good thread... I am actually choosing regarding this two also.. but more inclined now to Ford Escape... crv is 999K for the select edition, but Ford have a low down payment, plus engine difference and automatic tranny... but still not yet decided..

Just made a reservation for Escape yesterday, and just waiting for the approval. Can't resist the 99,999 promo. Sayang at di kasama sa promo yng NBX version nila, eto pa naman choice namin. Supposed to be Everst AT ang first choise namin but after the test drive and saw the NBX version, changed agad to Escape.

999k ang escape ngaun? hmmm... makisali na po dito. ano po average fuel consumption ng escape 4x2? city driving? i'm deciding na kasi eh Escape is one of my choice but I'm leaning towards the 4x2 Tucson CRDi.

Hi,

Just got my Escape today, a Black 2.3L. Very Very satisfied So Far. I bought the Chrome Tail Gate Cover (For NBX) and it looks very good on black! Medyo nanibago lang coz it's matic, and it's my first time to use matic...

Regards,
Lucas

The 2001 Escape (V6) that I rode in the US left me unimpressed (based on my subjective observations, that is). Closing a door would emit a cheap sounding "clag" reminiscent of one our old L300 single cab van. It also emits loads of body roll at the slightest turn (something I would expect IF the Escape had a higher ground clearance, but NOT in this case). It also lacks adequate insulation which may explain the amount of noise that was annoyingly apparent during highway cruising.

[ILuvDetailing]

as with any other mini ute don't go over half the wheel anything over it will be risky.

The new dealership of Ford here in Batangas is offering me the Escape 2.3XLS at 999K again but am leaning towards the CRV 2K5 5P. Will the power to curb weight ratio matter on gas consumption?:

CRV 2K5 5P 150BHP/1420KG 105.63BHP/T
ESCAPE 2.3L 157BHP/1369KG 114.68BHP/T

I have already shortlisted my choice between the two and will decide based on suer inputs as read here and other forums + my personal preference of course.

What transmission is the CRV? If it's the automatic, consumption should be roughly similar.

Thanks for the reply. Got the CRV already, to be delivered Saturday Got discounts from dealership.
