Now assuming the microcars just match the accent's 16.7km/l, the microcars would cost 50cents more for each km driven. The cheapest among the ones listed is the celerio at going at 542k...the accent hb at is 236k more at 778k. Now for just the initial cost, you will have to travel around 472,000km to break even. At 150km/day, 20days a month...that would be 13yrs! Just to break even! This is maintenance cost nonwithstanding and syempre assuming fuel price remains constant.

So kung cost of ownership over several years mukhang masmatipid pa microcars kahit matipid sa fuel si accent if under 10yrs lang which is most likely the case.

Anyway, it was mentioned na 650k limit, brand new, at hatchback...so i guess accent labas na sa choices...

Mirage/celerio/picanto/etc na lang...Initial cost at fuel consumption di na siguro nagkakalayo bet mirage and celerio. Picanto mamalakas ata sa gas iirc at masmahal siya ng 100k more than the celerio. Sagad sa 650k budget. Sa maintenance cost na lang magkakatalo dahil mukhang di naman particular sa porma. At yung laging advice ng mga guru na magtest drive...
Great computation - it puts into perspective the fact that at the end of the day, SRP still counts more than the FC and engine type if you're computing overall costs.

Yung iba kasi, basta daw diesel matipid. Lahat nalang ng sasakyan gusto diesel.
