Hey guys. Planning to get either of these two crossovers. I'd like to know what you guys think.


1. Brand new Honda HRV 1.8E (middle variant)
2. 2nd hand 2014 CR-V 2.4 S-X AWD (TOTL, 4th gen pre-facelift)

It will be replacing a 2007 3rd-gen CRV 2.4 S-X AWD. This CRV (<30k kms) will be passed on to the wife.

Test drove the HRV, but I haven't seen the CRV in person yet.
Here's what I gathered so far:

HRV:
1. Brand new, but 200-300k more expensive than the 2nd hand CRV
2. Compared to the CRV (3rd gen), it's way down on power, and a downgrade from the CRV. But it will probably do for city driving.
3. Headlights are reflector halogens. Not future-proof, and a big downgrade from the projector HIDs of the 3rd gen CRV.
4. Interior space is a bit smaller, but pwede na.
5. Overall feel, interior quality, and ride quality seems to be better on the 3rd gen CRV than the HRV.
6. Not quite sure if it's worth replacing the CRV with this, especially considering the price.


4th gen CRV:
1. Cheaper than the new HRV
2. 15k odo, 2 years old
3. HID headlamps, not a downgrade from the 3rd gen
4. Power should be pretty similar to the older CRV
5. Fuel consumption should naturally be higher, but no biggie.
6. Tried and tested engine-transmission combination
7. Push button start, reverse camera just like the HRV. No bluetooth hands-free, but can live without it.
8. Seems like an upgrade from the older CRV.

What do you guys think? Siyempre iba pa rin ang brand new, pero parang downgrade kasi ang HRV. Are there other cars i should consider? Priority is reliability and hassle-free day-to-day driving.

Thanks!
