Honda CRV or Nissan Xtrail

**maverickjazzy** · February 21st, 2007 12:34 PM

I would like to request the opinions of fellow tsikoteers.
A friend of mine is planning to buy a second hand compact SUV. He can't decide which one to get.

Which do you prefer?
2003 Honda CRV A/T mileage: 8,573 Kms. Price: P584,000
or
2005 Nissan Xtrail A/T mileage: 34,065 Kms. Price: 711, 000

His budget is within the price of both SUVs.

What are the pros and cons of each?

Thank you in advance...

sa akin lang ito ha? pero i really like yung stance ng Xtrail. pero i can't help you with the other details. no experience in these vehicles.

anong trim ng xtrail yan?

Mas may dating ang X-Trail (for me), but the CR-V isn't a bad vehicle at all, medyo matakaw lang sa gas (although the X-Trail isn't much better).

Mas maganda yung interior fit and finish at mga upuan sa CR-V. Not saying the X-Trail is bad, but there's a lot of plastic to get scratched. But the flooring of the X-Trail is practical if you do a lot of beach trips or hauling.

But the price of the 03 CR-V he's looking at is pretty good. Kung hindi tampered ang odo, okay na yun. Just change those stock tires... medyo madulas.

Pn any normal circumstance i'd take the x-trail. Pero mukha atang daily driver yung xtrail eh compared to the crv, based on mileage. Kaya crv nlang ako. Cheaper, less wear and tear.

Ditto. All things being equal, not only does the CRV have less mileage, it's cheaper too.

Pero siyempre ang final arbiter dapat ay ang titingin kung alin ang mas OK na makina at body. Kasi baka naman na-total na sila.

serious ba yang mileage nung CR-V? hanep. halos hindi nagamit ah. digital na ba ang trip meter neto? hindi naman siguro naatras pag digital 'no?

both vehicles are very nice indeed. if space is a consideration, go for the cr-v. tsaka with that mileage.... this is a no brainer.... go for the cr-v. hanep yung mileage. tsaka malakas ata sa gas ang x-trail eh. :D

Ayaw mo bang mag diesel SUVs, xtrail and CRV nowadays are not practical because of high prices of gas. Suggestion lang.

yup, serious po yung mileage ng CRV. both vehicles are bank repossessed items so i guess the mileage are for real and not calibrated. and i dont think the bank itself would tinker with the odometer just to be able to sell these vehicles. my friend still cant decide which one to get..
