Well if hope ganun na nga but no, I cant wait for another 6 month though

This coming month I should decide na which of the 2 units (SF or CRV) ang kukunin ko. Both thread was carefully monitored naman. I will post here again if CRV wins to me. Thanks again and regards

Ah, sorry. I never had any experiences with the 1st gen CRV.

Honestly Sir, for me, that 1st Gen CRV is the best because of its performance lalu na yung pagka all-wheel-drive (AWD) nya! Lakas humatak! Sarap pang Baguio!

I had my share of using it for two years when it was still new in the market, then I sold it and got the 2nd Gen CRV. The 2nd Gen CRV nakaka disappoint kase kapag nakasubok ka na nung power nung unang CRV, mararamdaman mo ang change in power and performance! Nagsisi nga ako at binenta ko pa! Bad trip pa nun nalaman ko na binenta rin nung pinagbentahan ko at kumita pa sya ng 50K!

Get it Sir! Sulit yan! Siguro you can just have it repainted or "Hilamos" para lumabas ulit ganda nyan.. Daming sumasaling mga ganyan sa carshow.. Ang gaganda pa rin!

I disagree when you say the 1st generation is powerful. The 3rd generation is the best & most powerful CRV. A friend of mine bought the 1st generation crv when it 1st came out in the states. i was still living there too at that time. When we go on the freeway it was so slow. You had to step on the gas to the maximun point. It was so sluggish.
Anyway, on the 3rd generation CRV 2008 model w/c I have, all I can say is im happy w/ my purchase. I've had it for around 6 months now. Very comfortable, power is acceptable, looks amazing. The best CRV ever!!!!

Its a shame, in the US, even 4x2 models get the 2.4l engine and the drive-by-wire feature as standard.

Imho, its nor worth getting the 4x4 since the main difference between it and the 4x2 would be: leather seats, front bumper garnish, 2.4l engine w/ drive-by-wire, and the AWD, all for Php 200K more. The AWD system is really inferior compared to the competition's, ie. Nissan X-Trail.

I disagree with your comment. for only 200K you get leather seats, front bumper garnish, 2.4l engine w/ drive-by-wire, and the AWD. What more can you ask for that small amount of money? Thats a bargain. Also how can you say the AWD is inferior to xtrail? Just by reading? Do you have first hand experience w/ these vehicles? Do you own both vehicles to compare? Did you try to go offroading w/ both vehicles to compare their AWD system?

The configuration of the units released here in Asia is different from the ones in the US, and this is common for all Japanese and even American cars. I drove the 1st generation CRV back when it first came out here in the Philippines and it was indeed more powerful than the 3rd generation that I own right now.

So as far as driving the two models here in the Philippines (Philippine traffic, Philippine road conditions and what not), the 1st generation beats the 3rd generation as far as I am concerned.

Then again, perception is relative.
