I had a Mazda 3 before and while it was a good car, it had a very low resale value. So i think the mazda brand is not for me anymore. I had the 2nd gen crv and the previous model jazz. Now i have a brv which my wife hates because she sees relatives, friends and business contacts with more expensive cars even if they are below our financial capacity. Yes we have another car, a bmw x3 with just 27k mileage in almost 8 years. So my wife wants to be seen either in a lexus or bmw. But me, i consider myself the practical type. That's why i insisted on the brv. Sabi ko pangharabas at di masakit kung magasgasan. My bmw has never been to a carwash. I personally wash it and still keep a mental record of its scratches no matter how small. She was telling me to buy a fortuner or montero. But after more than a year with the brv, i now agree with my wife. Buying a car is also a matter of pride. And the brv is not a car to be proud of. So now we plan to sell it. I actually test drove a nissan terra and i liked it despite a relatively heavy steering wheel. But it is too big for me and the interior is somewhat lacking compared to the honda crv s. But i have been reading about kalampag issues with the crv and i think these are true after my experience with 3 hondas. I had the previous fortuner, it was matagtag but not makalampag. So now, i want to buy a new car but don't really know which one to buy. That is my problem.
Just sharing my thoughts and i will be grateful to anyone who also shares his opinion.

buy the most expensive you can afford.
that way, there won't be no "what-ifs".
my opinion.
