I don't hold an 8-5 job eh. Palipat lipat ng hospital during the day consuming around 300kms every 4 days. I think an 9-10km/liter city driving consumption is ok with me coz yun ang consumption ng present ride ko. Higher than that baka mamulubi na ko.

Safety features ok din sana but not a priority coz careful and defensive driver naman ako. I seldom go out of town trips so di rin ako nagspeespeed except sa slex from bicutan to alabang which is my usual route.

Another thing, the CRDi model comes in automatic transmission and with CRDi mas matipid pa rin sa crudo compared with the gas manual ng CRV. Pwede ma drive din ni misis. Hehe! Yun di ang mga consideration ko eh.

with that as given, mag Tucson CRDi ka na nga lang. Hyundai CRDi is very efficient. I drive a Santa Fe daily sa city. and with all the traffic i'm getting each, nakaka 8km/liter pa din ako sa automatic.

I'd take a 4x4 Tucson CRDI over the bucktooth SUV anytime.

Patalo kasi ang K24 na makina sa ingay tapos lakas ng vibration (old engine kasi)

Yes I'm very sure the new 2007 CRV is CBU from Thailand. I saw one with its shipping sticker still on and also confirmed it with the SA.

unfortunately, units from the japanese plant are exclusively for "first world" countries like the US and UK. For the lesser beings like us, we'll have to settle for the "hit and miss" quality from Thailand.

CBU pala CRV. kala ko assemble lang sa Sta. Rosa kasi nabibigay nila ng mura compared to others (RAV4, Outlander)

^maybe the CRV is much more affordable bec. its CBU from Thailand and not Japan like the RAV4 and Outlander.

The RAV4 is from Tatara factory (gawaan ng Lexus) while the Outlander is from Mizushima....or Okazaki (dunno).

The CR-V escapes the added tarrifs and duties (gawa lang siya sa Honda Thailand like Accord & Jazz) kaya under the AFTA, they can escape extra payments (which can't be said for RAV4/Outlander).

Since JPEPA isn't approved yet by both houses of Congress (damn politicians are slow), then we can't receive any discounts which are said to be based using the following breakdown:

2007 = 1% discount
2008 = 5% discount
2009 = 30% discount
2010 = No more added tarrif/duty/tax/whatever
