I like the 'Juke ' looks a mixture of both. IMHO the design team responsible for the Juke (I usually call it Puke) should be tarred and feathered and chased out of town. This beast look even uglier than a SsangYong Stavic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juehoe Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 My spouse and I first driven a Mazda 3 hatchback which was sufficient for us. With the first kid, we changed to the CX-5 which has much more space on the just the same footprint. The higher driving position and the better ground clearance is a advantage for the typical Thai road conditions.I very loved my Mazda 3 but I replaced it then with the CX-3. The CX-3 is more practical for me, although the interior space is smaller than the Mazda 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will E Vormer Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 What is the attraction.. easier to get in and out, plus the higher seating position for seeing over traffic. More space for the footprint of car. Easy to park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HampiK Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I am also thinking of buying a small SUV (Crossover how some brands call them). Why? because I like the look of SUV's (and also a small one looks like a SUV) because I not want spend the money 1.6 million up for the cheapest SUV till about little bit over 3 million, where "small SUV" are about by 1 Million with already nice comfort because a "real" big SUV also use more space, more difficult to find parking space and my wife would never drive with a big SUV whereas with a "small" one she maybe would drive from time to time. I will think about next year when I have the plan to buy one. At the moment I like the Honda HRV. And actually I even think interior looks better than the bigger CRV... but this everybody to themselve. Of course there are many nice SUV's available.. but compared the price of 3 million to 1 million it's not worth in my mind. But still also looking bigger SUVs till about max of 2 million baht.

Maybe wait for Toyota to launch the CH-R instead of the Honda HR-V.

Will E Vormer Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 If you are buying an HRV, there's an update next year; I doubt it'll have any new engines but it should get an updated headunit with carplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, thanks for this information. I will go look next year the Bangkok motor show before I decide about the car anyway... because I hope there I can compare the best cars for me. I not have made my decision yet.. Only at the moment I think the HRV is the best one... but when can compare the different cars.. who knows maybe I change my decision. There are so many different brands available: Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Chevrolet, Isuzu, Ford, ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
