Zealot Neutral Newbie February 8, 2007 Share February 8, 2007 (edited) mitgalant isn't kidding about the FC of AirTrek-R, very high but then again 6km/l is a bit drastic, best case scenario you will get 8-9km. 10km would be impossible Since it's turbo, it's a lot more powerful then both the CRV and RAV4, price wise, you could get a 1-2yr old 2nd hand for about 60k-70k, making it cheaper then both CRV and RAV4 and more enjoyable to drive (more power?) but then again it wouldn't have that "new car" smell...

Ashley1108 1st Gear February 8, 2007 Share February 8, 2007 Let me give a break down of these 2 cars Rav4 from BM -made in thailand -engine made in china -4 Wd = fuel consumption higher No need to quarrel regarding this as my future sis-in-law is in BM Rav4 from PI -JDM -2 WD fuel consumption lesser -however naked but you can mix and match accessories or discuss for a package that will satisfy your budget Honda CRV from KM -export model from Japan -Spare parts from thailand -2 option 2L(underpower) and 2.4L -Some parts are OEM -4 WD = more fuel consumption -Cost 95k-98k for 2.4L includes cruise control, electric chair, skyroof and leather seats No need argue much since my sis-in-law bf works in KM Honda CRV from PI -JDM -2WD = fuel consumption lesser -cost around 88k. -3k for addtional of skyroof and 800 for leather seats -cruise control and electric chair not necessary in singapore. My opinion is CRV from PI, however look for a reputable PI and not those that quote a low price with all freebies. No such things as freebie or low price in PI market. There's always hidden cost and gimmicks such as in-house insurance of 7k or COE top up etc. by these idotic PIs on the ground floor of AML thus causing PIs reputation to drastically fall. check my post regarding PIs and BM and KM cars http://www.mycarforum.com/forum/Asian_Make...elp%21_P1743296 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley1108 1st Gear February 8, 2007 Share February 8, 2007 Care to share which PI is carrying in the CRV 2.0 litre 2WD version? Thank you. No PI carries a 2.0L CRV as Japan do not have such domestic model. Reason is because a CRV 2.0L is underpowered thus Japan only use the 2.4L as a domestic model. 2.0L CRV can only be found in KM as it's a export model from Japan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeshe Turbocharged February 9, 2007 Share February 9, 2007 as i just got it last week, the FC is not accurate. currently going at about 8-9KM/L but i heard that after first 1000km change oil, the FC will improve to 9-10KM/L. remember its 6 speed CVT selectable 2/4WD, so FC definitely better than those with turbos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeshe Turbocharged February 9, 2007 Share February 9, 2007 how's the FC & boot space? FC - check post above. boot space - very bigger. I went Ikea on Monday and bought 2 cabinets 1.5m long. manage to dump it inside. best thing is the foldable tailgate, if not i will have trouble loading up the 40+kg cabinets.

Very powerful SUV. dad drivin one. only bad point is the petrol. very very heavy. 6+km/l i think the forester 2.5XT will eat the airtrek turbo alive... i know the 0-100 for 2.5XT is 7.8s, how does the airtrek perform?

Good job ! i also agree . Good PI to get your own CRV. if budget lower and need to get AD, perhaps the Suzuki Gran Vitara from champion is a option. my fren just bought one. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
