The cars aren't targetting the same people though. Wouldn't say they're comparable.

Hmm...Have to slightly disagree. There is some (excuse the pun) crossing over.

I don't think it's too much of strech to believe that a prospective C-HR buyer may consider the Creta & vice versa.

I agree. I, for one, considered both. Unfortunately the C-HR's boot is ridiculous in South Africa. The full-size spare makes it completely unplayable. Doesn't seem to be the same story across the pond.
 
For me boot size doesn't matter, so C-HR is my choice.

Currently talking to dealers to see when one would be available.

Shouldnt the creta be compared with the Rav?

I'd also say the C-HR is more competition for the CX-3, and the Creta competition for the CX-5.

But some of these Crossovers purposefully blur the lines and try to fit in between competition to try make their own niche.
 
Booked my test drive for this weekend Saturday, might just leave with it if I'm happy.

Well let me start by saying we currently both drive the Kia Sportage 2.0 Ignite, which gives us very good drive quality and mostly has extra power to spare when needed, plus it's pleasing to the eye.

Today, my brother and myself took the Toyota C-HR for a test drive as we both love the look of this car. The drive itself is smooth, it handles bumps well, however you can hear "wind noise" from outside, so you'll have to turn up the radio a bit. The biggest gripe however is that to me it lacks power. You can floor the peddle and nothing really happens. Don't get me wrong though, the drive itself is fine, it's just not my cup of tea for now. It will in all likelihood be a very good seller at the current price point.

So obviously somewhat disappointed , we decided to give the Toyota Fortuner 2.8GD a test drive, which costs around R180 000 more. My brother immediately fell in love with it, for reasons unknown to me :p I found it somewhat chunky and oddly enough noisy, mostly due to the gear shifting. The drive itself was great with extra power when needed, however if I had to pick between the two I'd still go with the C-HR as the overall driving experience was just better.

I was once again left someone bored and that is when I spotted the all new Toyota 86, which to my surprise, was released today according to our sales lady. Naturally we decided to jump (or rather crawl/slide) in that bad boy for a spin, and oh my what a different experience that was. My adrenaline immediately elevated once I heard the roar when flooring the peddle and even more surprisingly, it glides over speed bumps. The car itself looks stunning, drives beautifully and also costs around R180 000 more than the C-HR.

Our final decision was to take the Fortuner and the 86, which we can alternate in driving.

I'll give some more feedback in the Toyota 86 thread once the car arrives hopefully next weekend.

The two is actually a decent combo together. The one provides the fun, the other provides the practicality and luxury.
