mga bro, sino may CRV na 2.0L A/T, tanong ko lang how's the gas consumption, im planning to get one kaya lang baka sobrang lakas sa gas...

[masi]

i don't understand..

 

 

what kind of cars are you guys driving that you think the CRV is low powered? and more importantly, where are you driving that you can even use all that power? i feel like i just touch the accelerator and my 2004 CRV jumps.. got it up to 135 on the NLEX recently on my christmas vacation, and i wasn't even flooring it, i figured that was pretty fast enough for me, made it from manila to subic in just over 2 hrs.

 

 

did they update anything from the 2007 to 2008 model? i might be getting one next year.

 

i drive a 2003 model, MT. I've cruised it 145kph with more to spare. the crv has power, but to get it there, it consumes more gas than a sedan simply because its not aero efficient. well, that's expected from a mini-suv.

my actual experience is that the AT is more fuel efficient than the MT. I own a MT while my dad has an AT, which i get to use as well. you can get 8kms in the city and perhaps 9 to 10 in the highway with the AT. any fuel savings between the AT and the MT is marginal.

 

if you can afford the crv or any vehicle with a 2000 cc engine displacement or higher, you may as well afford to pay the gas.

thank's for the info, I think 8km/l city is actually pretty good, I have an accord 2.0 AT and i only get around 6km/l, mas matipid pala crv sa accord...

before i like the corolla but when i saw the new civic ang ganda :thumbsupsmiley:

[johnlove]

Honda Civic - ok yan!

 

If you are practical:

Honda CRV - for 2 adults (including driver)

 

If you are practical, have kids, & you want them to be happy:

Ford Everest - for 2 adults & 2 kids (including driver)

2004 A/T here. i think as far as fuel efficiency goes it really depends on how heavy your right foot is.

 

 

when my driver drives it, malakas talaga sa gas.. but when i drive it, i can go twice the distance for half the gas. i'm not even kidding.

its not a fair comparison because civic was just recently updated while the altis has been around since 2002. so lets wait for the new altis before deciding!!!

[Dr_PepPeR]

I'd go for the Civic due to its aggressive lines. I hope they can do something with the new Corolla. When I first saw it on the net, to me it looked like a scaled down Camry. Yeah, like they say, it looked bland.

I saw the new Corolla in Australia. Its BLAND and BORING. Looked like an enlarged Vios.

I totally agree! I saw the new corolla on the net and it's really bland and boring. :thumbsdownsmiley:

It's not even comparable to the Mazda3.

That's why I decided to buy myself a Civic. :thumbsupsmiley:

Although I have minor problems with the shock absorbers of my Civic.

Have the same experience: 8km/L city, 10 mixed city/hgwy ('07 2.0L A/T model).

 

Have to agree that the 2.0L variant is underpowered. Takes a bit of depressing the gas pedal to accelerate.

honda CRV is not underpowered..actually it has a bigger engine thus the mileage is very poor 8-10km/liter. The maintenance is also expensive..specially if you go the casa.. For minor repairs..underchassis etc..not requiring electronic system..bring them to qualified technicians that you personally know or from friends. For tune ups and other things that is connected to the electronic system of the unit..no choice ka dyan.. you have to bring them to the CASA.

 

For all the information of the readers..not all mechanics sa casa ay magaling. Kasi when the mechanic is good, they left and nagtatayo ng sariling shop ang mga yan. Thats the information that we should find out. Why not start a directory of good honda technicians or shops, c/w address ang telephone no.?

[dominoneedsu]

Apperance, well we have different views and perception. But for me honda has the edgein design. For cost of spare parts.

 

Altis being a toyota has the edge. But repairs usually come after 3 yrs of use, of course depending on the use. So if you go for looks, go for honda and dispose it after 3 yrs. If you tend to keep the car for long, go for Altis.. at the moment, my car selection depends on the fuel consumption..maganda nga pangit naman sa bulsa..

i agee with you brod, i own a limited ed 01 which is staring to be high-maintenance, and the casa really cost too much for some simple repairs and tune-ups.It would be nice to have info and advices where we can bring our cars other than the casa. The advantage of casas lang is the facility and tools they have,and also supply of genuine parts.pero ung ibang parts,sa lbas din lang nila kinukuha eh...

[Masternone]

para sa akin depende kung willing ka gumastos ng malaki sa maintenance ng car mo, kasi pag honda mahal yung parts at yung service lalo na sa kasa mo ipapaayos. pero pag toyota mura yung parts and service. pero kung titingnan yung mga suspension and shock ng car boto ako sa Toyota magaling talaga sila sa mga suspension pero kung gusto mo ng class and mukhang bigatin ka tingnan sa kalsada i say Civic gasi ang ganda talga nila.
