xtrail vs xv vs cx5 vs forester vs crv vs captiva

[victorevolution]

i will be replacing my mom's three year old mpv

mid size suv is out of the question since we no longer have a parking space for it.

our choices xtrail vs. cx5 vs. xv vs. forester vs. captiva(bad side no middle aircon)

she doesnt drive hence will be riding most of the time in the front or middle.

again no mid size suv nor vans since we no longer have enough parking space.

Deal maker ba ang aircon vent for the rear passengers? I guess you can start from there. The current CX5 also doesn't have aircon vents sa likod. Buti pa ang 3 may vents under the front seats to cool the rear passengers' toes.

normally hindi, kaso we are in a tropical country kaya mahirap na. leaning towards the crv and xtrail because of the aircon

totl pala hanap ko.

Try to test drive with her in the back din. Some of your choices might have suspensions that are too firm for her.

ford escape kuda pa pala,

test driving is not really a thing for me(busy sched) when we bought the tbz gulat na lang kami na mas mabilis siya sa monty(also own one)

creature comfort... sabi kasi yung awd ng honda crv is not good, the best awd out there is the subaru. awkward kasi parking space namin, every vehicle needs to traverse a ramp(made of grip tiles however when it rains even our traverse and tahoe has difficulty driving uphill(they're just too heavy) tbz and other mid size na rwd di nahihirapan)

No need to get the Turbo unless she has the need for speed. Ang driver lang matutuwa dyan The Premium should be good enough for her needs.

X-trail has really cold a/c but it's not small. One of if not the biggest offering in the compact crossover segment. The Subies are nice but I don't like the CVT behavior at slow speeds. If you don't mind smaller interior space the CX-5 is a great choice.

What MPV are you replacing? I'd wait and see what the all new CR-V looks like.

If parking is an issue, I suggest the smallest CUV in the list of options, namely the Subaru XV.

[sientobente]

The current-gen CRV is actually lower and shorter than the 3rd-gen it succeeded. Haven't tried the captiva, but against the XV and the CX5, the CRV aside from having rear AC vents, it has the best leg space against them. These were also the factors I was looking for when I got mine since I use my car for client meets. Something that can transport people comfortably from A-B.

Wouldn't it be cheaper in the long run to remedy the road / path to garage so normal cars can traverse to garage?

Subaru Forester it is then since it has a capable 4WD. Prefer the Mazda CX-5 though.

sir yung incline path namin ang nakalagay ay grip tile na mismo (same sa mga parking lot sa mga malls better pa nga kasi rubberrized yung samin)hence wala ng ibang remedy except to level the whole land(and apparently here in muntinlupa swerte kami kasi bedrock na nakalitaw mismo lupa namin not the red earth from where muntinlupa got its name(munting(red daw meaning according to old language) -lupa))... which would already be absurd since it would be a waste of money

[Walter]

Maybe install winches on cars that can't climb. Hahahahaha.

[victorevolution]

three of our suv has winches

anyway it's a battle between the xtrail and forester
hope someone in youtube post a video of an xtrail awd test

[JohnM]

This is a test of previous generation models. It will only be useful if the AWD tech was carried over to the current ones.

[jcal68]

The 2.0 crdi tucson is also good. You can shift to AWD if needed. It can outrun a 2.5 monty. No rear A/C though.

Impressive performance by the Forester but if I had a nit to pick, why didn't they show the Subaru starting from standstill on the wet slide like the other makes? It's the only one that didn't show where the rear tires were at the start. If it started from the ramp that would be a huge advantage. Also, the brand placement at the end of the vid just makes it look like a Subaru ad. I think with the right tires and tire pressure each of the other makes could make it up the ramp too.

If you're set on the Forester I agree with JohnM, the Premium might be better if you don't really need the extra power. I heard the XT's ride is stiffer. FC should also be better with the Premium.

my mom doesnt wantma korean car(i bought it up with her)

meron din kasi na test na ginawa sa sweeden but instead of wet slip n slide ang ginamit sa slope ay rollers sa front wheel, the kuda and subie made it but the crv never did(naitulak ng rear wheel alone yung auto(remeber the front wheel was placed on rollers)).

ang technique na ginagawa namin on wet inclines is, paatras yung parking for fwd cars. i think this is because the weight shifts behind the car when going into an incline which gives less traction on the front wheels.

by the way, the crv just got it's MMC, so probably around 2018 pa lalabas yung all-new model.

My CRV 2009 (4x2) is unable to manage an incline paved with grip tiles when the pavement is wet. But my Altis 2014 easily manages that. Wonder.

That video is actually an infommercial by Subaru.
