Genes 6th Gear May 3, 2013 Share May 3, 2013 The FC stated is definitely one of the best among the 4. Did you test drive the car before? How was it? Tested none lol. My choice is based on visuals and reviews. Another reason is I still don't really like CVTs. Regular stepped gears for me please. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notsogoodman 4th Gear May 3, 2013 Share May 3, 2013 Just curious, you guys r indicating your pref based on actual test drives? Or on looks or on features, or brands? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky2007 Turbocharged May 3, 2013 Share May 3, 2013 (edited) I have only tested the new forestor. It's good. I didn't look at crv bec it only has 2 airbag for the 2.0 plus it cost more than the forester or Cx5 just bec it's a Honda.. New Rav4, I don't quite like the design + it cost 40k more than the forestor although its omv is 10k more. cX5 is one that I am thinking hard and will be interested to test drive. CX5 wins in terms of omv value vs selling price, has better FC on paper forestor win in terms of power at 240ps, 350nM of torque, electric tailgate, 7 airbags, permanenet AWD, bigger sun roof and also free 3 year of servicing or first 60k free service. Downside is high insurance for me is at 2.8k, and 1.8k for my wife. It's individual choice but I'm putting my $$ with forestor in june Edited May 3, 2013 by Chucky2007 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cluboxed 1st Gear May 3, 2013 Share May 3, 2013 Forester is AWD and the rest only 2WD right? If so, that comparison is not equal liao. If TS is buying it to travel in Malaysia, then suggest get the Forester. If local use, my pick would be the CRV. RAV4 is 4WD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cluboxed 1st Gear May 3, 2013 Share May 3, 2013 (edited) wonder when the long overdue facelifted Grand Vitara will be here..... no Nissan products? hehe Edited May 3, 2013 by Cluboxed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky2007 Turbocharged May 3, 2013 Share May 3, 2013 wonder when the long overdue facelifted Grand Vitara will be here..... no Nissan products? hehe I tried the Nissan Qashai... Interior is done nicely, more comfy seat than the forestor, nice moon roof. its a 4WD... but the 2 litre engine is Super cannot make it.... It's more hopeless than my current 1.5litre engine. My friend who sat inside the car during test drive told me not to get it, he can hear the engine running out of breath. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bismarck Turbocharged May 4, 2013 Author Share May 4, 2013 Tested none lol. My choice is based on visuals and reviews. Another reason is I still don't really like CVTs. Regular stepped gears for me please. I have driven and owned cvt car before and if you are into spirited fun driving then cvt cars are not your cup of tea. As for the issue with the reliability of cvt gearbox, I never encounter any problem so no comment ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
