SiR vs. SUV

[renzo_d10]

I've read HCP's thread regarding this, nakita ko kung paano magisip mga tao dun. They cannot put aside talaga having an SiR despite it being so unpractical.

Hence, I would like to see how the Tsikot world thinks vs. them.

--

Situation:

Let's say I have 400k in hand. I really really like the SiR because it's "classic" and a chick magnet. But then, I saw Shadow's CR-V, I was amazed so I thought twice about the SiR.

Now, I am torn between buying my ever-dream Honda SiR or an SUV within 400k ( which are Nissan Safaris, Jimnys, CRVs and RAV4s )

Condition:

I live alone, I have a girlfriend whose circle of friends are similar as mine. I drive along Espana everyday. The car will be by everyday beater since I have no car in the garage except this.

Ano CRV nakita mo? 2 yun eh

SIR pa rin!!! For keeps na yan eh and classic na!!!

Chic magnet pa..ano pa hahanapin mo? :rofl:

[foresterx]

i'd rather have a bike than a wanna be sports car. in short i'll take the SUV.

[7138]

para sakin,

Rav 4, yung 4x2 lang,
espana pa, umihi lang sabay-sabay daga dyan, bumabaha na.
atleast may chance pa ako maka alis sa lugar na yan hanggat hindi pa tumataas baha.
pogi din naman rav4.

Chick magnet pala ang SiR?

Girls dig fast-noisy-ricer compact sedan?

I thought SUV gusto ng chicks

I'll take the SUV. CR-V kahit gen. 2.

[renzo_d10]

Pero dream ko talaga SiR. Kapag nakakakita ako sa daan, napapa-laway ako sa ganda nila.

And I'm a college-yuppie, di kaya mahiya girlfriend ko sakin sumakay kasi naka Spoon SiR mga friends ko with matching vroom vroom? :/

Help mga paps. :/ :hysterical:

[renzo_d10]

pero iba prestige ng honda pano yun

[toyotaparter]

Everyday use... hmmm.....


for me its the SUV, or a pick up.

either way, here are my points of view (no offense to SiR owners or SUV owners)

SUV or pickup: (all diesel and all chassis-on-body, no gas and monocoque, im not a fan of those)

the good:
Manly, mas macho, mas matibay, mas rugged (pwede ioffroad), mas matipid (well, depende pa rin sa suv na kukunin mo kung diesel) sa fuel, mas marami ka makakarga, pwede pang baha, mas mataas, mas safe sa vehicular accidents, mas mahal tignan.

the bad:
mas mahal maintenance (change oil, suspension parts[if kaya mong sirain, haha]), mas malaki so mas mahirap imaneuver sa singit singitan ng konti lang naman compared sa SiR, mas mahirap ng onti ipark. mas mabagal kaysa sa SiR.


SiR:

The good:
matulin for a compact car, mayabang ang dating, andami mong ka car club na lagi kayong nagyayabangan sa isat isa ng mga mods nyo tuwing nagkikita kayo, mas may dating ng rich kid racer boy, mas mura maintenance.

the bad,
di mo pwede kargahan (kasi naka "lawered ka") gf mo at ikaw lang ang makakasakay haha, hirap na hirap ka sa matataas na baha at sa mataas na humps, at ang lubak pati sobrang sakit mas lalo na pag lawered. mukhang binilhan ng parents mo ng college car.



Id take a pick up any day kahit wala akong gagamitan ng bed. anggwapo eh at practical at matibay. never understood the logic of getting a pickup or a tough 4x4 rig until i was 4th year college, well, i guess it comes with age.




decide on which you really want, then go for whatever that is. Of all things, DONT pretend that you have the best of both worlds. If you have a pickup/suv dont drive it like an SiR, youll wreck your engine and probably roll over :D :D
in the same sense sont buy an SiR and drive it off road :_)

Had an SiR once, Crashed it 4 times, hahaha



one thing i notice about some honda boys though (no offense to anyone) their MODS and their HONDA'S control their attitude and their yabang. Their self identity disappears into their car.

hope this helps, cheers!

I'll go for the SIR, the CR-V is a bit thirsty. The best part about the SIR is that it really is like having 2 engines in one car. It behaves like a normal Civic vti when driven sedately and can give brisk performance when rev hard.

[oliver1013]

ano ba meron sa SIR bukod sa mabilis lang ng konti sa corolla...Civic lang yun e..

[foresterx]

VTEC yo! every ricer thinks the SiR is made by god himself for the sole purpose of street racing and reving your car in every stop light and putting a loud fart can that makes your car sound like you're going 2,000 km/h but barely goes 100km/h.

Same here.

Ano ba kayo!? don't disrespect the SIR!!! it's a classic!!!

baka makatulong boz... get the SIR, since you drive espana everyday at pag umulan pwede mo irampa yan at pag tumirik sabihin mo " I WASN'T INFORMED!!!" ayun lusot... hahaha

[alwayz_yummy]

chic magnet? SIR? may mas alam ko na chick magnet--honda din... xrm..

aminin nyo, mga night drivers, lalo na sa mga rota na malapit sa motels...

ako, practical ako, kung sa magkasing edad-- sir vs gen.1 crv-- dun ako sa crv, MT please!

SIR-- torqueless wonder-- rev it to 6000 para humatak.. laklak gas!mahina preno,at swerte kung makakakuha ka ng virgin stock unit

gen 1 CRV, - MT please... bibihira makakita ka ng nagbebenta, mas ok pang city, at medyo matipid than SIR

[renzo_d10]

Pero niyayabang ng ibang SiR owners na kaya mag-10km/L ang SiR nila. Ho-ho.

Yep medyo rare nga yung Gen 1 MT. Malakas ba sa gas yung A/T nun ?

[shadow]
