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

[fullmetal]

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.

Especially pagkinuha mo suggestion ni Tidus

*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

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.

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...

Even with LPG you still get anywhere between 2 to 5 km/L city driving.

A Toyota Vios 1.5L would probably get five time more distance on the same amount of fuel.

now would not be a good time to buy petrol SUVs, in my opinion.

pero dagdag ka ng 100K or so over the trade in/resell value of your car and you'll get a nice RAV4, 05-06 strada, or 1st and 2nd gen CRV

[myk384]

Dagdag ka ng konti for a Hyundai Tucson CRDi (2005-2009) or a Fist gen Ford Everest.

Dude, it's not the right time to buy a gas powered SUV

[noobskie]

^ First gen Everest is a good recommendation. Low resale value, solid engine. Just get the M/T version and you're good to go. The A/T is good too, a bit of a diesel guzzler though. Girlfriend's family has one, 200,000++ and counting, still no headaches or major repairs done.

sa civic ka nalang bro hehehe pogi pa naman ng civic sir body yan diba? iba sa binata ang naka kotse pero ako gusto ko din yung mga malalaki na hehehe btw 17years old palang ako hehehe pero gusto ko na ung hilux namin inaantay ko lang hehehe

[GTi]

Maganda ang performance ng Civic VTi. Siguro malaki ang paninibago kapag kumuha ka ng malaki. Especially since your budget allows for old school diesels only (unless you get the Hyundai Matrix). The 1st gen. Everest is nice, but it is slightly less powerful than its Ranger counterpart and also heavier. How much are you willing to add to the selling price of your Civic? Because I don't think there are Everests selling for 300-400k.

[fullmetal]

i really don't think na makakapag-add ako sa selling price ng civic ko, mahirap kasi buhay ngayon mahina business siguro i'll stick with my civic muna in the mean time kapag may trabaho nako dun ko nalang papalitan.

thanks sa replies!
