nissan X-TRAIL vs honda CR-V vs subaru FORESTER

[GODofZEUS]

check out the compact SUVs comfort...
the letter "U" in SUV stands for "UTILITY".
if i were to buy one of these three compact SUVs... what would it be???
1. which one is the best for offroad driving???
2. performance of the air-conditioner???
3. a comfortable internal space???
4. which cargo cabin is the most convenient???

1. Not much idea on this.
2. 4x4MAG already did a test on this. Don't know who won. The Nissan was pretty far back in the pack.
3. Comfort is relative
4. X-trail has a very versatile dash and cargo area (with multiple cubby holes and drink coolers); CR-V has picnic table, clothesline, lift up tailgate glass; Forester also has lots of convenient storage spaces easily reachable from driver's seat.

i think i have the 4x4 mag issue on this....hanapin ko...

crv gen2, xtrail 2.0 both a/t and previous gen forester 2.0 m/t w/hill hold i think.

as i recall, (#1,#2,#3)

on the sand beach test: xtrail, forester, crv
on pulling a stranded wrangler on beach: xtrail, forester, crv
versitility: xtrail, forester, crv

on the road: forester, tie sa crv and xtrail
light offroad: a nitch:xtrail to forester, crv.

pulling: 4wd-lock xtrail, forester, cr-v.

locally, XTRAIL AKO! 2.5L ung washable cargo is a plus, flat cargo can easily accomodate bed.. hyper-roof rail is a good aid! plus ung plastic fenders, drink&choc bar cooler, auto aircon, glove box infron of the driver w/ outlet(good storage of charging cellhone/electronics.) mp3 audio, a fat torque w/180ps! 2wd-4wd auto-4wd lock mode!

but the center cluster needs getting used to, but easy to read! white guages pa! sana 5-speed auto w/manual mode para mas ma-harness ang power ng engine..pwede bang i-request sa nissan un?

now if i could just convince my wife, na ung sakaling makaipon, xtrail 250x na kunin ko kaysa sa 2.4L CR-V....

kung dun lang kc ako mag base sa mag 4x4...
test kc yun s japan (or other contries)...
gus2 po sana namin malaman kung ano naman ang mga masasabi ninyong mga owners with your experiences (with the said cars) here in the philippines...
since d2 sya gagamitin...
tnx...

kc if i were to choose...
i like the CR-V
but...
my husband says
X-TRAIL
(2nd hand po plan namin to buy halos mag ka price e...
hindi nag kaka layo)

hehehe...
we both can't decide...

tnx for your comments...

Of course the owners will nominate their own rides. hehehe.

Driven a CR-V, rode on an X-trail.

CR-V should make a good everyday car (to the point of feeling boring already). If you want to pump a little excitement in your everyday drive, the X-trail 250X is your ticket.

But that's just me.

totoo yun..wife ko gusto cr-v ako xtrail....

pag on-road ka 98% of the time, CRV ka...otherwise xtrail...
