I noticed that their front left and right cupholders are different and are better than local versions. The Philippine version also did not have the driver side aircon vent (located on the dash above steering wheel). The right front seat also could not also fold flat for extra long cargos.

Anyway, I was contemplating on getting either a Nissan X-Trail or a Honda CR-V. My real concern with Nissan is their build quality and the supposedly "low" reselling price, can anyone help refute those? I also read some forum members had varying problems from the horn, to the keyless entry remote, to vibrating hood, etc.

We are a Honda and Toyota family. The last time we dealt with Nissan was back in 1989 with our Sentra Series I (1.6 SGX). We are so used to the good services from both brands, especially Honda. So I just want to ask if there is any difference in buying from certain Nissan dealers? Is this like the situation in Mitsubishi before, where you can get different levels of build quality from Diamond or Citimotors? Are all Nissan dealers reputable? My nearest dealer is in UN Ave.

Despite all those negative aspects, my mind, so far, is still set on the X-Trail. The only thing I did not like with the X-Trail is the seating material used whether its the "washable sporty jersey" which is too slippery (as some forum members have attested) and the leather upholstery which appears on the cheap side (compared to the CR-V).

Also is the 5-speed Transmission of the CR-V better than X-Trail's 4-speed?

thanks

number001 : i think is yung low resale price of nissans is dahil sa nangyari dati mga tao nawalan ng tiwala sa nissan pero as far as i know is sa mga cars lang nila to like sentra, cefiro yung low resale kasi i think rin sa ENDLESS facelift nila sa car segment nila pero sa nakikita ko mga trucks naman nila like xtrail patrol as may high resale value ! kasi iba naman ata ang nagmamanufacture ng trucks nila sa cars nla tsaka parang mas matibay mga trucks nila.

sa choice mo naman regarding between the CRV at Xtrail, i think all really depends kung anong use mo at anung image ang gusto mo ipakita hehe kasi parng pag crv for me medyo daddy image e pero i admit gumanda crv ngayon nung nag facelift pero if you compare them pag xtrail ka at least yung 4x4 mode mo nacocontrol mo unlike sa crv na nandyan lang sya and hindi mo alam kung nagwowork na o hinde. sa power naman medyo konti lng diff kasi 2.4 vs 2.5 engines nila so power nila magkaiba rin talga

although nissan xtrail forum to, ayaw mo ba iconsider yung bagong toyota fortuner? i think ito ngayon yung pinaka sulit at value for money na kotse sa 4x4 segment! at very competetive pa price nya against mga crv xtrail tsaka full suv pa 7 seater hehe pero opinion ko lang yan a ! pero yun nga lang if you want a fortuner you ahve to deal sa alam kong mahaba nang pila ngayon na nasa hundreds na raw pero dealer as of yerterday ..
pero the choice parin is yours if anu talga mas gusto mo at budget mo at sa use mo pero no doubt na maganda rin talaga crv ngayon at mga iba pang suvs na nilabas like fortuner at sa alam ko lalabas narin yung bagong rav4

yung regarding naman sa aircon vents etc na iba ang dashboard, sa alam ko ay dahil sa versions yan e may ibang xtrail kasi na iba yung dashborad dahil right hand drive siya or minsan may mga safety requirements yung country kaya ganun yung dashboard! sa canadian at european version ata yung sinasabi mo na may aircon vents sa driver side

Thanks for the reply Kmo.
OT: Fortunner? Last time I asked, the waiting list is already 10 months. What's more its better to buy a car when they have done improvements to it already like what happened to the '05 CR-V and to a certain degree the '05 X-Trail.

number001 : yup ! jan na daw makukuha yung bang units ng fortuner pero may baging variant daw na konti palang pila kasi konti lang may alam pa ! yung 4x2 diesel matic i think its 1.180 and konti palang pila nun less than 20 i think pero will increse the prices of all fortuners daw by 10% sabi sakin dahil its eating the innova sales so medyo tama rin na magpareserve na now if yun balak mo

well yeah sabagay ... pero parng yung sa xtrail paurong yung facelift e hehehehe de ko alam kung biased lang ako pero mas gusto ko parin itsura nung lumang xtrail comapred to the facelifted version medyo oa na itsura at tumaas pa presyo na puro accesories lang dinagdag
pero yung sa crv naman nagustuhan ko sobra na crv nung nag facelift mas naging macho itsura tsaka medyo sulit na at mganda na tingnan unlike yung before !

dagdag ko lang sa mga views ni kmo. the crv is already an old design for honda. malapit na yatang maglabas ng bagong body shell ito. when you compare the x-trail w/ the crv, tingnan mo kung saan may tama agad na kotse. compare also the maintenance cost. alam ko mas mahal ang maintenance cost ng crv kung casa sa casa ang comparison. may mga quirks din sa design ang mga sasakyan. like yung iba ayaw ng center console. sa akin ok lang. ako ayaw ko ng kambyo ng crv. naiilang ako at maganit para sa akin. pero gusto ko soundproofing ng crv. gusto ko naman ang makina ng xtrail. pareho ito ng sentra spec v sa tate. malakas ang torque. fuel efficiency mas matipid ang 2.5 xtrail sa 2.0 crv. ewan ko yung 2.4 crv. ang pinakagusto ko sa x-trail? aircon. lahat sa pamilya ko gusto nila yung aircon. malamig, malakas. dyan sikat ang nissan.

Oo nga! baka ma-dislocate pa yung elbow (exag)!

fuel efficiency mas matipid ang 2.5 xtrail sa 2.0 crv.

Sa tingin mo, mas matipid ba yung 2.5 Xtrail k sa 2.0 xtrail? With the difference of Php 230K nagdadalawang isip ako. At yung Php 230K, pwedeng pang bili ng Plasma TV na lang! Ano kaya?

[kmo]

number001 : pagpilian mo is 2.4 4x4 ng CRV or 2.5 4x4 ng xtrail hehehe at least patas ang laban ! nasa preference mo nayan !
for me anman ok rin lang yung sa crv kasi maluwag ! tsaka ewan ko ba heheh nagandahan talga ako sa facelift version hehe mas tipig yung 2.5 i think dahil sa power to weigt ratio ! 180bhp yung xtrail e yung sa crv hirap ata or matakaw lang ata talga mga bagong engines ng honda ngayon alam ko yung bagong vtec3 mas matakaw sa vti dati!

ayaw ko lang sa xtrail is yung mga plastic talga ang dali magasgas at ang lambot pero nasa alaga anrin naman kung masisira e ! oo lamig pa sobra ng aircon ! walang reklamo ! tsaka maluwag xtrail ! para kang naka midsize sedan comapred to crv at rav4 na feeling mo nasa small sedan ka sa loob !
