This is my opinion:
Nissan X-Trail - poor in many areas
Subaru Forester - best in Performance, poorest in fuel economy and scqueezed back seats and smaller boot
Toyota RAV4 - best ride & beautify, overpriced and squeezed back seat (tall person struggles) and smaller boot
Honda CR-V - best ride, most comfortable, most durable, most stable. Extra weight contributes to stability.
Can someone advise me about the driver seat legroom of the CRV and Outlander?Can a 6 foot jamaa comfortably drive it from say Nrb/Mombasa?

Lost all my passwords and couldn't reset. just needed to get back and add VW Tiguan to this list.
Among the compact SUV, the VW is way ahead of its competitors. Rav4 come is also a good buy for its resale value.

The reason why CR-V has been voted the most comfortable before is due to these quality. The leg room is the most spacious. Please try one, try sitting on the backseat and see almost 1/2 foot extra space for 6 foot guy. Unlike RAV4, where the legs touches the front seat. I'm not sure about Outlander. Never been inside one

If you can afford it, then it's Freelancer anytime anyday. If you can't, go for a CR-V

Even the cargo is the largest. That's what I was trying to imply, because logic says if there is lots of room in rear, that means te driver can move his seat even further backwards. You get it? If you have money, go for CRV or Outlander (as someone suggests). As for CRV, you'll not visit garage, you'll use the car until you sell it 5 or 7 years down the road!

kama unataka Subaru sana then go for Outback, spacious and beautiful, the difference ya engine capacity 0.5 ni kidogo because the moment you go CR-V Rav and considering Kluger then you are in the 2-2.5l bracket. Those concerned about consumption gravitate between 1-1.6l the moment you reach 2l then you are in the bracket ya 2-2.5 that's how I reason out to avoid disappointment. think ranges not exact capacities "Money never sleeps"

Outback was Subaru's way of creating their own niche market that wanted a station wagon with off-road capabilities without being huge and up there "Money never sleeps"

Life is short. Live passionately.

As for CRV, you'll not visit garage, you'll use the car until you sell it 5 or 7 years down the road! @alphDoti,@Chaka I was torn between CRV and Outlander and took 3 months researching on both units. My Outlander is 2 weeks old and marveling at its beauty and power. Here are a few items I considered: 1. Price range: same, duty less than 2000 difference Outlander on higher side. 2. Engine capacity same 3. Ground clearance Outlander slightly higher 4. Space almost same Outlander has more leg room and bigger boot space. 5. Finnish, CRV a bit more elegantly finnished 6. Torque difference is insignificant 7. Overall looks and appeal - Outlander more preferred by men and CRV more appealing to ladies 8. Offroad capabilities Outlander more suited and versatile. 9. Resale CRV seems to be more preferred in Ke.

@Rahatupu,
Good points..what you are saying is that the outlander has more driver legroom?Rear pax leg room not important to me..What of fuel consumption?I have seen some later CRV's which look elegant and
I wonder if your observations are valid for this one as well?
