[ericty12682]

Anyone here can give me brief comparison ng rav sa crv? In terms of performance,also underchsis...? yung 2nd gen ha...? Also,may nakakaalm ba dito ano pinag kaiba nung 00-03 model na rav compare sa 04 rav? nag iba yung engine e... alin mas maganda? i heard mas ok daw yung 1st batch nung 2nd gen? Tama lang ba yung 7-8km/lit city driving para sa 02 a/t 4x4 rav? o malakas sa gas yun...?

I'm looking into the RAV4 2nd Gen, CRV 2009 (SOHC engine) and Subaru Forrester XS (2.0 DOHC Boxer engine).

Regarding the difference between the 00-03 model of RAV4 and 2nd Gen Rav4, outside, the only noticable difference is the new signal lights at the side view mirrors. I think the mag wheels have a new design too. I'm not sure if the power folding side-view mirrors was in the 1st Gen too, but this function comes standard with the 2nd Gen. I think the radio satellite controls on the steering wheel also comes standard.

Regarding my choice between the three vehicles mentioned above, I am so confused which one is the best for me.

Price: CRV is cheapest at P1.25M (they've increased prices by P20k starting this Feb09), Forrester 2.0XS is P1.33M, RAV4 4x2 is P1.465M

Features: Forrester is tops with AWD, 8 air bags and cruise control

Fuel economy (according to only a few people i've asked so this info needs to be researched further in the other pages of this forum, so feel free to correct me)
City Driving: CRV 8-10 km/L, Forrester 6-7.5 km/L, RAV4 7-8 km/L

My Conclusion:
Forrester
Personally, I love the Forrester because it gives so many safefy features and is not so common on the road yet. However I'm scared that since there's only one dealer and maintenance shop, I would have a difficult time with spare parts. PLEASE tell me this isn't so .

RAV4
It looks really good outside and in. I love the dashboard. It's the largest of the three cars and I think has the most room to put stuff in. It has the biggest engine of the three so should give more power and performance. It's a Toyota and maintenance and spare parts is no concern. However, its the priciest among the three and possibly not very economical because of it's low mileage.

CRV
It's the most practical with it being the cheapest of the three and possibly having the best mileage. It's a Honda so, like the Toyota, maintenance is no concern. No wonder it seems like there's more of them on the road than the other two. However, to me, the CRV just doesn't excite me as much as either the RAV4 or Forrester.

As I mentioned before, I would want the Forrester, but the wifey has a say too and she's very concerned about the maintenance issue and possibly re-sale value some 8 or 10 years down the road. For her, it's the CRV she wants

CRV the best choice. sa condo namin where I stay pag weekday workweek, halos lahat na ng kapitbahay ko sa parking lot puro bago CRV nila. ako na lang naka-1st gen.

before, mga kapitbahay ko owns a Ford Escape, 2 First gen CRV, 3 2nd Gen CRV;s.

ngaun yun naka Ford Espace and 2 First gen, puros naka 3rd gen na, this Jan-FEB lang yan ha

malamang yun mga naka-2nd gen, magpapalit na din kasi laspag na itsura ng crv's nila.

mayroon din ako kapitbahay na nakabago Subaru. pero laging naka-taklob. mayaman kasi yun bakla, yun BMW lagi niya dala.

OT din. I guess madami rin masisipag at magagaling na bakla at marunong magipon. Hanga ako sa kanila unlike mga baklang puro landi at puro lalaki. It only goes to show that they too can be useful members of society just like everyone else.

Baka di niya kailangan ang forrester? Ako kailangan ko. Hehe.

marami ako kilala mayaman na bakla kasi mas maboka sila sa sales
