I have three friends One drives a Honda CRV , Mwingine an Xtrail and the third one a Subaru addict. Now each swears that theirs is the best choice and would never touch any other brands- well except the xtrail guy who moans excessive fuel consumption... My Honda pal has had like three Honda while the Forrester guy started with like two imprezas before graduating to forresters- he's had two... what is is that addicts?
How do wazuans rank these cars (ranked withe the king at no 1)
I have seen Kia Sportage and Ford something i can remember the name
PS test drove a Forrester an I think Subarus are overrated!
KIA? I have no confidence with these cars.... I know someone who bought a KIA Sorento LX 4dr SUV (3.5L) from Showroom. Before 6 months were over, we took a long drive (not too long for a big car) and in the middle of no where, the Engine check light came up. The engine lost power and we pulled up on the roadside. By the time we were coming to a complete stop, the engine just went dead. So we sat there for some 30 mins or so wondering what to do but still enjoying the views (they were amazing and it was early morning). When we got back to the car, it started fine, the light was gone and we went through the rest of the journey without any problem. but the problem kept reoccuring and going off. When we asked the dealer he said it is something to do with some software and they'd look into it. since then, it has been on and off, sometimes the breaklights etc. And the resale value around is so poor comparing with other similar vehicles (toyotas and the like). If you buy this one, you better be in love with it because you wont dispose it off easily.
