10-year old vehicles with the best functional values in the Philippines

[niky]

Very hard to say.

I know some owners of the older ZZ Altises... and true... they have their issues. Not any more durable than other cars of the time... and parts are not as common or as cheap as for the 4AFE cars.

I like the "Lovelife" 1.8 Altis... but I don't know much about them.

CR-Vs? Not any better or worse than most... and 2nd gens are gas-guzzlers.

Unfortunately, 10 years ago, most of our cars had transitioned to EFI already. At this point, they will all be suffering similar issues with MAF sensors, ignition coils and O2 sensors. Most of them have durable engines, but they all have their electronic quirks.

Thus... Crosswind XTO. I have a ten-year old one. AT is busted (won't go into 1st gear in "Drive"), but everything else is in good working order. Can't go wrong with a manual version... except the ASBUs will be on your ass every time they see you.

Toyota Corollas, simply because mas available ang parts... surplus or B/N.

how about the Nissan B13? we had that for eleven years till we sold it 2 years ago i think. on it's last year nga lang, blow-by na ata yung makina. hahaha! pero kung hindi na carnap yun malamang gamit ko pa din yun hanggang ngayon at siyempre pinaayos ko na.

To tell the truth, there are numerous of them:
-Isuzu Crosswind, Mitsubishi Adventure (diesel), Toyota Revo (diesel) pag sa AUV
-Toyota Corolla (Love Life o Altis), Nissan Sentra Exalta, Honda Civic (ES), Mitsubishi Lancer sa sedan
- Hyundai Starex sa vans

Cannot comment on other cars

Actually you cannot really rely on the Starex since once you reach 100,000kms chances are the injectors will need replacing as these are turbo diesels.

Kung TDci Starex at hindi yung CRDi, No problem yung injectors na yan. Matibay and mura lang naman pamalit dyan. Yung CRDi injectors ang mahal!

The three AUV's siguro, binago nila ang paraan kung pano mag commute ang mga pinoy. Kung dati Puj lang ang default choice, ngaun meron ng Mega taxi's and Garage Services... Sama na rin yung mga Urvan's and Hi-Ace's na pang byahe ngaun.. IMHO

my brother's millenium gls lancer still runs very well. napahilamusan na last month kasi natutuklap na ang original paint.

my 3rd hand LB still runs. :D hehehehe

[scharnhorst]

I'd say any naturally aspirated diesel from the 90's...

buhay na buhay pa rin ang ranger namin (11+ years old na)... ang mga pinagawa over the past years due to wear and tear were:

1) aircon
2) suspension: shocks and bushings
3) pitmann and idler arms
4) brake pistons
5) injector replacement * 200,000 km.
6) radiator
7) clutch master and yung disks sa may transmission assembly mismo

yeah, parang ang dami, but I have to note that this vehicle reached 200,000 km when it was 8 years old. hehe.

the rest, puro unfortunate events i.e. nabangga, nasira yung aftermarket stereo, naputol na timing belt dahil hindi magaling yung nagbalik ng assembly (mechanic forgot to tighten a screw. damnit)... and consumables : fluids, filters, battery etc...

still runs okay... sya pa rin yung ginagamit namin pangharabas papunta sa mga probinsya
