Thinking of trading my 2000 Civic VTi to a SUV. Suggestions?

**fullmetal** · April 14th, 2011 11:30 PM

iniisip kong itrade sa SUV yung civic ko, kasi medyo hirap ako sa pagmamaneho ng kotse sanay kasi sa SUV/pick-up. ano kayang SUV ang pwede kong mapag-trade in na di nako mag-dadagdag or kung mag-dadagdag ako konti lang?

tumitingin ako ngayon sa ford escape at first gen crv.

thanks!

Hindi ba mas mahirap dapat i-drive yung SUV/Pick-up? Hehe.

Anyway, is your Civic the EK/SiR body or the ES body na?

I'd think that if you don't need the extra cargo/hauling space or don't do any offroading, then just stick with the civic.

Ipon nalang for a new car down the line. Plus mas matipid pa yung civic kesa sa CRV/Escape in terms of fuel.

!st gen CRV would be fine. Just that fuel economy wouldn't be great.

But you can convert the CRV to run on Auto-LPG (and also on gasoline). That way you can save money on fuel.

Late 90's Ford EXPEDITION!

I believe EK pa since 2000 Civic VTi nilagay niya. ES diba nasa 2003 pa lumabas?

goodluck sa fuel consumption kapag pinagpalit mo civic mo sa SUV, nakaka-highblood pa naman presyo ng gasoline ngayon.

*mda- para sa akin mas madali kasi di mo na inaalala yung lubak ng daan at mas mataas ang ride height

EK civic yung sakin.

*gh- di pwede sir, student palang ako baka palayasin ako ng magulang ko pag nag-down ako ng brandnew na kotse

*tidus- ayaw ko naman un sir, may defect daw eh? kumakabig pag nakakita ng gasoline station

malaki ba difference sa fuel consumption? actually lumaki kasi ako na 99 strada 4x4 kotse namin kaya sanay talaga ako sa malaking sasakyan. ngayon nga 2010 strada 4x4 at 99 safari tsikot ng parents at kapatid ko. mukhang baby civic ko pag tinatabi sakanila

Wala lang, sobrang sulit kasi ng mga Expedition because of their low resale value. Pwede naman ipa LPG eh. Very comfy sobra and of course repetado sa daan. Anti-kotong! Takot mga traffic enforcers pag naka Expedition ka baka kasi big time nasa loob mahirap na...

I meant getting a used 1st gen CRV then convert it to run on cheaper Auto-LPG. You can fit the donut type tank under the CRV's cargo-floor so the lpg-tank stays out of sight.

I have seen 1st gen CRVs using the older and cheaper venturi-type lpg kit before SGI kits became more popular.

Note: an auto-lpg converted vehicle can run either on LPG or gasoline. Fuel type is selected via a switch installed with the kit.
