Planning to buy a fuel efficient car

[radz15]

Mga sir based on experience nyo ano ba yung pinaka matipid sa gas na sasakyan?. Pang city driving lang at minsan hiway or out of town. Usually 1-3 persons lang ang sakay. I'm eyeing for Hyundai Eon. Pero kung may alam kayong mas tipid sa eon i'll go for it. TIA!

Mirage CVT - best balance of economy, refinement, and features.

However, the money you'll spend to pay for the car will be much more expensive than maintaining whatever car you have now.

Muka nga sir. Actually pang secondary car ko lang and 2nd hand plano ko bilin. I heard may issue ang CVT ng mirage.

Mitsubishi Mirage does not have CVT issues. It starter issues before. It's the Honda Jazz 1st gen that had CVT issues.

Ohh i see. May nabasa kasi ako before na may CVT issue daw yung mga bagong labas na mirage. Anyway mas efficient ba sya kesa sa Eon? Especially in Metro Manila traffic? . Hindi ako masyado particular sa features. More on fuel economy lang talaga. Thanks!

If you are considering eon, then i think ok ang manual sayo. Although wala akong alam na issues sa cvt nang mirage, i think mas safe paren ang manual in the long run.

Daming types ng automatic tranny. Isa na yung CVT dyan. Mayrun yung traditional torque converter AT, then yung dual-clutch transmission (DCT) or dual-sequential gearbox (DSG), at may iba pa dyan na specific sa manufacturer.

CVT nowadays are much more efficient and more robust than those of previous years. Halos lahat ng Japanese manufacturers may sariling version ng cars with CVT (Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi). Modern ATs have 6-speed or 8-speed gears while some Euro brands opt for the faster-shifting DCT or DSG for their cars.


*radz15 - go for the Mirage. It looks better than the Eon. If you are having second thoughts on the CVT model, you can always opt for the MT model.

Medyo may kamahalan pa kasi yung 2nd hand na mirage CVT pero isa din yan sa mga kinoconsider ko. Thanks!
