how bout comparison with VW tiguan 1.4? not a fair comparison?

It's definitely a slightly larger CRV and I gotta admit though, the side profile looks nicer.. Reminds of of Audi.. Unfortunately it appears to be a China only release. So don't expect it here anytime soon.

Hmmm, depends.. Tiguan is also a nice car to drive. Some would even say it's a better handler than the CX-5. But over here? Badge and past owner's history pretty much kills it for most as an option. RV is definitely worst of all 3. Personally, I did try to go test drive it.. But 2 visits to separate showrooms (on different days) and none could provide a vehicle to test drive. So I went on to the others and struck it off my list. I've seen a few on the road and it does look handsome. Just no heart pulls. So yeah, unless it's one has a specific love for it? I wouldn't say it's a fair comparison in the Malaysian market. Made worse by the Proton X70..

Put aside RV, I believe the driving fun shall be there. Not sure anyone did the comparison before or not...price is bout the same as crv2.0

If u have the budget to stretch to 200k , y don't u take a look of the rav 4. With a tnga platform, it's a driver's car. The chassis is study n solid. It absorbs the bump quite well n it doesn't slump when taking corners. The dynamic force engine very responds n got lot of torque on low rpm. But with that kind of money, lot with go with the BMW X1 which cost the same. The rav 4 is a keep car while the BMW u got the badge. If u all gonna buy this generation model buy it because next gen model all gonna hit 200k in this segment unless u downgrade.

Nope. I do not have budget up to 200k.

Tiguan now is about same price with crv 2.0 if you are not aware. I still yet to decide, whether stay with sedan, or go to suv. If sedan, I might consider Passat elegance (~162k), or suv (it could be crv 2.0/1.5t 2wd, or Tiguan 1.4).

If possible. I try to manage within 140-145k...this narrow down my choice to crv 2.0 or Tiguan 1.4

Hmm, I’m not aware of any proper comparisons.. Besides with such purchases, emotions towards the car definitely plays a strong part. So I suggest you test drive both or more, check things off your requirements list then simply get that which ticks the most boxes. For me and probably all SUV owners on here, we pretty much ruled out sedan as an option. Perhaps, start with that first.. Sedan or SUV.

tiguan is RM160k,, no?

now VW offer 6 month free installment
and if my memory serve me right, now they also offer free maintenance, i forgot how many months

I test drove Tiguan, but i need the back passenger space

If you test drive it, then you will falls in love
and if you really want it,, buy Tiguan Join

Yes selling around 160k but throw in discount as huge as 22k...make it around 140k+ minus

Yes, I do need the back passenger seat. Currently my accord still can do the job, 2 car seat and wife sit in btw as she really small size...do u think CR-V or Tiguan can do the better job?

(We try not to touch medium size mpv such as serena, as this kind of sitting arrangement happen only 20% when we travel outstation)

My opinion go with the crv. It got lot of space. VW got a lot of problem in the long run. Yes it is fun to drive but with higher maintenance fees. If u are a keeper , then go with the crv. If not u can try the Tiguan. Set aside the rv.

Very valid comment. Will arrange test drive by this weekend. Thx mate!

I look at it this way

CRV is a passenger cars
Tiguan is a driver car

If you buying this car for you to commute everyday to work then buy tiguan
If you buy to bring your family during weekend or balik kampung,, then crv

But at the end its you to decide

I come from 2 continental cars Pug and Ford, before this crv, damn i miss the NVH of european car, if you know how to take care of contis, they will serve you more than other car maker

I wish I can have both in one machine. Weekday I drive to work and outing for supper. Weekend for family....sometime balik kampung....

Would like to remap my crv 1.5tc, any recommendation?

finally, make up my mind on CRV...guess what, mostly is OOS everywhere....have to rajin to ask around a few branch....

again, really showing honda car really so sellable...

Mind to share if you have test driven and why have you decided on CRV?

Went to do checking for 1k km at mofaz damansara

My complaint
1. Tyre humming - answer normal
2. Cabin whistling wind noise at low speed - unable to check, asked to come in weekdays
3. Gear knob hard/keras to shift from N to D and vice versa - answer normal

Want to booked and check my car on weekdays, all is full for Aug month

My wife suka...

Me all heart on Tiguan 1.4 all the way. The dsg gearbox really make fun of Driving. The feeling is so much solid and powerful vs the 1.5t

Anyway, when talk car , technology to women, they don understand. They only know Honda - reliable, not so much maintenance and good rv...VW - famous with warranty , quality, lousy service centre..so I got no choice to take up the crv...

Overall, I do like the big spacious of crv...

Update : loan approved. 2.21% Pbe,7 years...
