I would test drive both cars and then decide from there. You will just feel that "connection" when you drive the car for you.

In terms of admitting the flaw(s) or recalls, yes Honda talaga.

Pero in terms of service, I beg to disagree.

I have a 3rd Gen CR-V 4WD, it's quick, but boring. Steering feels numb (very light), great handling (Tucson is better). The only thing I like in the CR-V is the HID projector headlights.

So ASX isnt even be considered thou at the same price range it gets full jam packed features other than the cbu japan are there any other problems with it?

The ASX is very small, the interior is even uglier than a Tucson and lastly people are scared to buy the ASX because the 1st and 2nd Gen Outlander didn't sell well here in the Philippines even though the bigger Outlander is almost the same price as the ASX.

Of course you can consider it sir. IMO you should have at least 3 choices, then test drive them to see which will make you smile for a long time.

sa mga reviews pinaka-fun to drive daw ang ASX compared sa mga kalaban niya sa market ha?

Hinde tayo nakakasiguro sa review sir. Mas maganda kung si TS mismo mag test drive at magsabi kung ano ang nagugustuhan nya :-)

Test drive all of them. Nothing beats feeling the car first before purchasing. For example, I will never consider buying a sub compact car no matter how good it is because i'm tall and I need leg room for both front and back seats and the steering wheel should not touch my lap. Other things like the texture of the steering wheel, the reach of the HVAC and audio controls, position of the breaks, visibility of the seating position, reclining seats, etc. You need to sit or ride the car to feel these things.

si, you can also consider ford escape. pasok a budget mo, nice ride, roomy, spacious for your cargo and the 2.3l FC is also good even in city driving
