1. Brand : Honda crv, Mazda cx-5 2. Budget : 50-60k++ 3. New/Used/Unreg : Used 4. Specs : Any 5. Transmission : Auto 6. NA or FI : NA 7. Type : SUV 8. Remarks : Just a bigger 3rd car for my son. Hi all, any recommendations? Pros and cons of both? CRV from 2014 onwards CX-5 from 2014 onwards Main concern : Reliability and longevity of use(Another 10years++ would be good) Any other models with RELIABILITY+LONGEVITY of use @ SUV within the price is fine too. Please recommend This post has been edited by Pubgamesrhard: Mar 20 2023, 11:02 AM |

Please recommend How old is your son, what is he driving currently and any problems , his size too big ? Distance very far ? A new Ativa X 62K will get you 5 years of warranty and likely last you 10+ years with cheaper maintenance. |

Doesn't mind any models / brands as long he has the peace of mind as per mentioned. He also doesn't mind old cars too. As long as a reliable small or med SUVs. Does prefer driving up hills and into terrain for hiking and workouts twice every week. Thank you for your suggestion on the Ativa though. |

QUOTE(dogbert_chew @ Mar 13 2023, 12:55 PM) Shouldn't be a problem to bring your mechanic 'friend' to check out the car as long as it doesnt involve dismantling anything for any used car dealers incl SD Auto. Any used car is negotiable, just do your research and nego with knowledge. First is general market conditions (when manufactured, time of the year, possible fuel hike affecting larger engines etc) then car model specifics (certain model weaknesses requiring $ to rectify, knocks and defects spotted, painting needed, worn suspension etc) Thanks so much Chew! Ah still looking around and still so many options out there.. Sime Darby premium selection, salesman told me the cars that they take, usually go through a stringegent inspection and make the neccesary refurbishments.. Not to sure if it's just cosmetics or inner parts as well.. This post has been edited by Calvin Seak: Mar 21 2023, 09:14 AM |

Minimum B segment eg HRV can move driver seat back passenger still got space due to excellent Honda design for space. . Yr budget should get you a 4-6 year old model. However these so called SUV cannot go offroad terrains, if really hardcore need 4x4.. |

I know right xD Is HRV hard to maintain apart from faulty back doors etc? Is it that reliable and can it withstand for another 10years ++? |

Saga standard for sedan Axia X for hatchback Any questions can post in their respective threads. If you have some experience relative or friend to help in checking out used cars, can carefully consider and budget in possible repairs to their lower purchase price. |
