Sir, yan ka nanaman.

Sinabi ko nga, di sila pwede maging considered na poor dahil sa perang pinangbayad ay im sure na pinaghirapan yan. :hammer:

Lahat sila hundred thousands and even a million plus worth. :boo:

Dun na ako sa CX-7 compared sa Tucson GLS 2WD. Simply because CX-7 has more toys inside

but! iX is hell no a poor man's CX-7. Does CX-7 have the R e-VGT engine and Panorama sunroof?

in all objectivity, no car is a poor man's car. you can say an "imitation of" like what we see in a number of chinese vehicles but anyone who can buy a car, and maintain it, is certainly not "poor."

buying a car involves serious cash, either upfront or on installments

not all of our kababayans can afford a vehicle so it is quite a privilege to have a car, no matter what it is (brand new or even second hand)

i sooo agree...

back to topic, go with the CX-7... very nice toys, indeed... plus no more wait time, which can kill...

because pearl white camry is not available anytime soon that time...

this, cx7, was one of the choices as well..
coming from mazda 3 2.0 liter and all of its "maintenance and warranties", and knowing that the "looks" of cx7 has been "there" for a while (which can be replaced real soon ??), i chose tucson.

i'm not the fan of cx7's tail lights and the new front design of mazda (looks like smiling)

i also considered forester and crv by the way but dropped them agad.

bottomline is kung saan ka happy.
happy to clean, happy to drive, happy to spend gasoline/diesel with..

let's wait for other feedbacks that hopefully can help you decide.

PS: ito ang favorite ko na problem palagi.. anong bibilin brand/model at anong kulay

thanks so much for all the replies. 'really appreciate all your inputs.

i decided to further delay my decision. anyway, it looks like that cx7 availability is not that serious anymore, which means i can still buy time to further delay my decision.

over the long weekend, i even got a chance to see the 2 units. saw a silver cx7 and it further confirms that exterior-wise, -1 vs tucson. Or it is just me being not a fan of grey or silver color?

then, last sunday, i had a chance to drive side-by-side with a black tucson (balintawak yung dealer, as no plate yet). not sure what variant, but it looks like gls 2wd. hataw sya. i was driving same color MS gls then and palitan lang kami to overtake each other. i purposely do that (not to challenge its speed) but so i can stare both front (medyo hirap lang coz rearview mirror, plus with a speed of 120-140kph delikado) and back, likewise its sides. Saka, i can't stay at high speed, medyo maingat ako sa sasakyan he he.

i was on convoy with relatives then and when we reached subic they praised the good look of the tucson (though i actually did not solicit any of their comments). that made me confirm further that its look is really superior than the other.

all i need to do is really weigh which of which is important for me...the interior or the exterior. interior, grabe talaga ganda ng cx7 but for the white color lang. coz i don't like the black-tan combination for other dark colored cx7. plus the functions, like auto-climate and the cruise controls just like sa camry...sarap gamitin nun sa sctex!

i agree to all that the most important factor in deciding which car to choose is my own self' preference. but i have solicited all your inputs since first hand experiences (especially for those who are owners already) are (at least for me) "real reviews". Media reviews are "one-time use kind of review". Plus the fact that this should be my first non-japanese car (if ever i will go for the IX), though not an issue for me meron naman 5 yr warranty.

this dilemna should have not been here only if HARI has the units.

thanks again!

i both like and dont like the fact that the CX7 feels and drives like a car. Parang kulang sa substance (solidity)you get from an SUV esp. sa bumps. (although UMO mas malala ang RAV4 dito, parang malaking Vios lang ang pakiramdam) but overall, i like it better than the Tucson.

**Starex_Gold** · May 13th, 2010 07:22 PM

like auto-climate and the cruise controls just like sa camry...sarap gamitin nun sa sctex!

Dito ako nagulat sa CX-7. 1,495,000 ang price tapos meron na ganyan. Power seat (driver side). sa Tucson, Premium Variant lang may ganyan

CX-7 owners, anong totoong interior color ng CX-7?
Kasi yung nakita ko sa MIAS color beige, pero yung nasa Top Gear (red CX-7 NMQ-676) black interior

interior color motif of the local 7 is black and silver with seats being all black leather

i think the beige and other colors are for other markets (US and Europe, maybe Japan also)
