Brandnew 2011 Celerio or i10 or Picanto?

**bougartt** · May 17th, 2011 09:20 PM

Thank you masters for your replies.

MY wife is a fairly small lady (5 feet tall). That's why we are considering these cars. I forgot to consider that i'll also be driving the car sometimes and I'm 6 feet and some inches tall).

My wife has to personally try driving these units. She does not want to consider getting a second hand car because we are scared of accumulated costs we might incur repairing the car.

I'm leaning towards the i10 but she does not trust any Korean car brand, ,

Naku po, sobrang luma na po ang mentality ng asawa mo. Korean car quality is now at least at par with or even surpasses that of Japanese cars. Besides, the long warranty should say something about their reliability. Also, Suzuki's dealer network is pretty sparse with just only a handful of dealerships. After sales service is reportedly poor and parts would not be very abundant. BTW, if your wife is against Korean cars, why is the Picanto in the list?

Gti
- Thanks for your inputs. I'm trying to push her to look at the i10 because of the 5 year warranty. . The picanto made it to the list because the Facelifted version looks really awesome.

The i10 is probably the best car in the segment at the moment. The fuel economy is much better with the MT, but the AT isn't too bad, and the gearing is very good at masking the engine's small size. A friend (Auto_Xer here, from Speedlab) says it's what he imagines BMW would build if it built superminis... I think that's going too far... It's more like a micro-Honda.

The Picanto is good, but the i10 gives you more for the money. The Getz gives you even more space, but I don't think the 1.1 comes with an automatic and it's not quite as refined as the i10. The Celerio's 3 cylinder is not as refined as the four cylinder engines, but it gives great economy.

I'd personally buy an i10. My assistant was car shopping a few months ago... We looked over his choices and we inevitably ended up at that. They're very satisfied with the car, and even take it on long provincial trips.

Try before you buy, though.

makikisingit po sana...

among the vehicles mentioned, alin po dyan ang pinaka fuel efficient? isama na rin po sa pagpipilian ang spark.
yung friend ko kasi nagbabalak ibenta yung 10 yrs old car nya at bumili ng bago. priority nya ang fuel efficiency. second ang reliability.

maraming salamat in advance.

The i10 would probably give you a better FC esp if you buy th M/T version and lear to hypermile. http://www.wikihow.com/Hypermile

sir iwas lang po sa text speak, baka magka-infraction ka.

BTT: hindi lang kasi FC ang importante, marami pa dapat i-consider. And the sum of it ang dapat magandang basehan.

Kung meron ng bagong picanto sa pinas, sa picanto ako. Ang lakas ng dating!
