Everyone wants a Harrier. Not everyone needs one!
The Harrier is a beautiful car and the streets have spoken, so I will not waste your time pretending otherwise, because in Uganda today, the car literally in front of you is a Harrier. But here is the quiet truth. For most people chasing one, a 2017 Mazda CX-5 is the better car to actually live with and it's even cheaper to buy at times.
If you look at the numbers in the market today, A clean 2017 Harrier sits between UGX 70M and 85M in the bond. A clean 2017 CX-5 (Petrol) sits between 65M and 75M. Mind you, this is the same model year, the same segment and the same kind of buyer but with a price gap big enough to cater for extras like brand new tires, fuel and servicing.
So what does the extra ka money on the Harrier actually buy you?
Not more power, obviously!
The 2017 Harrier most people buy is the 2.0, making around 151 horsepower and the 2017 CX-5 2.0 Skyactiv makes about 165 and feels noticeably faster and more confident on the expressway.
Not a better driving experience either!
The CX-5 has sharper steering with real feedback and a much more composed chassis, it is genuinely one of the best driving cars in this class of crossover SUVs.
Not even a more premium interior as you would think!
The CX-5 interior punches way above its price and embarrasses cars costing far more, like this Harrier.
What the Harrier price actually buys you is demand. The streets want a Harrier, so the streets price it like one. You are not paying for a better car. You are just paying for a more wanted one. And that demand is not nothing. It cuts both ways. Because the Harrier holds its resale value better than almost anything in the segment.
So here is my honest, unbiased opinion.
Buy the Harrier if resale is your priority, if you plan to sell within a few years or if you simply love the car and have made peace with paying the Toyota badge tax. There is no shame in wanting what you want.
Buy the CX-5 if you want the better drive, the stronger engine, the nicer interior and ka extra saving staying in your account. For the buyer who keeps cars long term and values how the car feels over how the street reads it, the CX-5 wins comfortably.
The Harrier is the car everybody wants. The CX-5 is the car most of them would be happier owning. Those are not always the same car, trust me.
If you are still stuck between these two and want a straight recommendation for your specific budget and needs. WhatsApp me on 0755 138 120, I will tell you which one you should actually buy, not which one the streets told you to want. I will also help you import a clean certified unit or source one locally with a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection.
So, are you Team Harrier or Team CX-5? Tell me which way you lean and why.

@armstrongsenior This is like taking a Bajaj boxer 100cc against a Honda CBR250😂😂
If I were him I'd just buy you fuel and not tamper, that engine is so weak to withstand full time combustion.
A 1.5cc against a 2.0 is another problem, VVTI😃😃 the list is endless nae Nantabulilirwaa....

@Ham1110011 @silverolupot4 Well for proper commercial Piggery.
Start small with 1 good genetics gilt. May cost you more for f1, a maternal line f2 piglet may cost you 250k to 500k depending on the farm. Feed well as recommended by 8 months it will get on heat. Use artificial insemination. Here you go.
