how long is the warranty for XV? My 5-years Grand Livina is due for change soon. Thinking of getting the CRV or this. The CRV has 5 years warranty at the moment.

Or is there any better suggestion other than these 2? Price around RM150k or lower.

so the XV has much smaller interior? Hop into the CRV during the roadshow 2 weeks ago, the interior space not much difference with my Livina, except for the 3rd roll seats which i do not use much. It was folded down and covered by a tonneau cover almost all the time.

But my wife's office have a last gen CRV as company car and the service record is bad - from spoilt power steering to gear box, so many major problems, costs about RM20,000 for maintenance last year alone (for the power steering and gear box). So she is quite skeptical to get a CRV. Dunno whether her company got a lemon or CRV is really that bad quality. The CRV is only used normally, not into offroad or anything.

lol... sorry for my noobness but i can't really differentiate between all these "SUV" until i sit inside one. Actually i dun have much requirements in a car. It need not to be high power fast going - just need to be comfortable, reasonable spacious, reasonable maintenance cost and resale value. Sat in the back passenger seat of a S Class and 7-Series a few times, doesn't really feel they are so much better than my GL in term of ride comfort (in monetary value). But the 7 series feel most comfortable if taken away the price tag.

For me, a test drive is very important to get a feel of the car. Test drove the Avanza and horrified by its ride quality. Luckily Grand Livina was launched around that time and immediately confirm booking after taking the test drive - very amazed by the quiet interior and ride comfort - compared to my previous VIOS.
