Baba thumbs up. I have read your post over the years and have seen people talk highly of you on this forum due to your simplicity, honesty and ever helping attitude. Keep it up sir.

I am in the posters shoes but i have only 2 cars i am looking at within the shortest possible time. They are:

Honda CRV 2004-2004 model and Mitsubishi Outlander 2004. Please very Extremely blunt on your advice. As much as i prefer the Honda, i am tempted to go for the Outlander because it is less common.


Thanks in advance sir for your understanding.

availability of parts, at affordable prices is what attracts me to the CRV, I almost got 1 last week, unfortunately there was a rio at an irresistible price so I got it instead.

Gazzuzz, i just stumbled on this thread now. I wanna get this SUV too due to it's i4 nature, but I'm afraid of the A/C system. I heard the compressor always have issues and packs up easily . How do one avert this? Or which Model Year is more durable with regards to this issue? Is that one you wanna go for still available?

GAZZUZZ:

you heard wrong. It's same as any other Hondas a.c system.

GAZZUZZ:


safer with the honda, do not get a future unique problem with the outlander.

I have a golf 4 and overall I think it's a nice car but am of the opinion that Golf 4 and newer models are not everyday cars considering the nature of our roads. They are excellent cars for traveling on long distance.

Yes by mk2 and 3 I meant golf 2 and 3, they are more rugged on our roads and the cost of maintenance isn't much due to the availability of spare parts although they might not have the best interior

Kunlinha:
Interested in the Golf 4 & people have been telling me it's problematic. What advice will you give me based on your own experience

glingev:


unless you want to buy a new golf or near new i advice u settle for a toyota. the golf is a good performer with very good stamina on the road and a very powerful engine, but it comes with many problems- i had to change my engine once and spent so much on the a/c and its still not working. the toyota may have a bland personality but it will surely take u where ever u want comfortably

Kunlinha:

Thanks for the insight bro. I have since jettisoned the idea but I don't roll with toyota despite its reliability & resale as they aren't top priorities for me; handling & styling are tops for me, reliability can be average

glingev:

Good choice my brother, Which brand did u settle for

Kunlinha:
I had to settle for a Peugeot 206 with manual transmission to avoid potential issues and hope it serves me well as i'm usually very good with maintenance. It was the manual golf I had considered.
