If the price and maintenance cost not a major concerns, would you rather to save the RM100k and to spend it on other purposes (e.g. bring whole family for overseas vacation) and just buy the CRV.

Or you would prefer putting the additional RM100k and get the Harrier?

For me, CRV is definitely more value for money, however, Harrier looks so elegant. Hard to decide.

By the way, I am now driving a 9 years old Altis.

CRV 100K cheaper than harrier meh?

Yes. Harrier from 249k
CRV from 139k

If that 100k is nth much to you, of cause Harrier. Have you test driven both car? how do you feel? The ride and handling? The body roll? The NVH? The seat comfort? The passenger seat comfort? The boot space? the safety features? the look? the feel and touch? The powertrain? Is Harrier worth the extra 80k?

why not you try online review both Harrier and CRV and see how the auto journalists' comments.
This should be able to help you decide which to go, best of all, go test drive and see for yourself

If want to buy Toyota Harrier and can afford over 200k++.. Dude.. Upgrade to Lexus bro..
Recon market can get better model... Once go up to Lexus, Honda/Toyota is nothing..

could wait for new CRV. current gen are old tech, old chasis..

see that new civic, and new HRV.. very gooding. all new design, tech, and overall laaa..

if only u can wait coming 2-3 years laaa..

Indeed, I considered Lexus also, but the entry level SUV (UX model) looks small compared to CRV/Harrier. Unless go higher range (NX model), but the price start from RM300k and above. Hence, I dropped Lexus in my comparison list.

I did survey BMW X1 and Mercedes GLA too, but both models also looks small for me, width/length/height all smaller compared CRV/Harrier.

Have you checked Harrier boot space? You will be surprised how small it is.

Recon market ok ke? You wouldnt know the condition of cars until you have driven it for a year. Bad experience is warranty 6 months and problem started to appear on 1st year.

New harrier only comes in one model and the model is without Turbo. The new CRV has Turbo and it is 1.5T. So you can save on RoadTax annually.

Agree with you. That's why I also never consider used or recon car. At least worry-free for 5 years with guarantee if buying new car.

Thought I got a good deal and can drive Merc GLA250 but after 5-years spent close to 5K on repairs, not counting the yearly maintenance required. Finally gave up and now bot CX-5, with 5 years warranty and 5 years Free service.

Sound system and infotainment are downright awful.

Totally unacceptable sound quality, mushy, all instruments/vocals squeezed together like mashed potato. Totally no instrument separation.

The plus side, build quality is decent no rattle noise. Ride is way too soft for my liking.

Wait bro, do you mean sound quality is mushy for CRV or Harrier?

Harrier. Sorry should had specified.

repair on wear and tear? or?

Save on roadtax but contra back with more services.
Average 7k range need service, for average 1 year 20k range need 3 times to service compare to N/A engine which only do every 6 months or 10k or 2 times per year.
Every technology also got it's pro & con. Just sales person will only spoke on the good but never the disadvantage.
