Just wondering why the x-trail 2.5 got 180 hp while the crv's 2.4 got only 156? a clear mismatch?.....well, d gud thing for crv owners is the resale value :cool:

because they're engineered differently. even the same engine from the same manufacturer is engineered for different vehicles. take the highly regarded nissan 3.5 liter VQ engine for example. it is used for the nissan altima and maxima sedans, nissan 350z sports car, nissan murano SUV, nissan quest minivan, infiniti g35 coupe and sedan, and the infiniti fx35 cross over vehicle. all have different horsepower and torque ratings.

Engines are tuned to give either more torque or more horsepower. Vehicles with large and heavy bodies need more torque to get it moving faster from slow speeds. Honda probably put more emphasis on initial pulling power than top-end speed.

Yup! My Serena has the same engine with X-trail, yet x-trail produce 150bhp while mine only 145....but this (crv and x-trail) is clearly a market mismatch, alot of buyers are much aware of horses under d hood these days....thanks anyway!

But in reality it's the torque that really counts.......Like the saying goes "Horsepower sale cars, Torque win the races"

[Steppenwolf]

just got a maintenance service for 20k km... darn. super mahal!!! double of what i used to pay for my civic. must be that darn vat. bad trip.

[miles70]

What price range bro iyong damage mo, considering na maintenance lang siya. 4k pa lang ang reading ng sa akin, para mapaghandaan pagdating ng mandatory 10k maintenance.

[Alucard]

Sa pinas, Civic. Pero dine ngayon sa kinalalagyan ko, mas mabenta ang Toyota. Mas mabenta pa nga dito Nissan compared sa Honda's!

[Ferrum]

Toyota. Mas mura ang maintenance at parts.

[thrall]

My civic 99 is still doin good after 110000 km. engine ok ilalim nagpalit na pero ok nanaman. Gusto ko service ng honda pag dinala mo sa casa kmpletos rekados pati mga recommendations kasama. Yung toyota ko ok din namn 96 exsior takaw lang sa gas. Service wise bulok sa toyota antagal mo na nakatambay wala pa asikaso. Sa Isuzu naman pinaka bulok ang service para mong dinala sa talyer mabuti pa sa gas station mo nalang dalhin kesa sa casa ng isuzu.

[racerdude_SiR]

kung engine performace lang.....no doubt civic. kahit ngayon kyang kya iwanan ng stock '99-'00 SiR and mga brand new altis. Subok n yan s north xpressway.

 

pero kung interior, paramg mas sulit yung altis compared s mge 7th gen....mas kargado kc interior ng altis....civic parang bitin.

[Don Carleone]

id still say altis.. panget sobra suspension ng civic.. nakaka asar imaneho.. alam mo naman dto sa pinas, daming butas.. pag civic para kang nagddrive ng taxi..

[Rixx]

Civic but Corolla is catching up pretty fast, the new civic is kind of a letdown.. anxious to see what the 2007 altis will be like
