Buying a brand new car with 900k+ budget

[powerfox]

Napaisip talaga ako sa Swift. Kung looks ang pag-uusapan, 'yan na panigurado pipiliin namin. Yung reliability lang talaga. Pero I guess I'll do more research about that issue. So sa ngayon, medyo we're eyeing on City 1.5E, Swift and Elantra 1.6/1.8.

City - P836,000
Swift - P779,000
Elantra - P888,000 or P958,000

Question lang po, anu-ano ang differences ng 1.6A/T sa 1.8A/T na Elantra aside sa power. Is it worth the almost 70k difference?

I don't think it's overpriced. parang tama lang pricing niya at 760,000php (+,-).

*Renzo: Tulin noh? hirap nga habulin sa highway eh. imagine, 94HP lang. Matipid din daw eh.

[renzo_d10]

Matulin yan, lalo na kung Manual pa. Sobra sobra yung 94hp sa liit nya.

Matipid naman yan kasi sa highway daw gagamitin parati eh, enjoy pa kasi pagopen ng road alam na

[powerfox]

Pero what if A/T po na Swift? Matulin din po kaya? Gusto rin sana namin manual but my parents are insisting on an A/T transmission kasi sumasakit na raw tuhod nila minsan. Haha. Medyo hesitant lang din kami sa Swift e kasi parang hirap din humanap ng parts if ever masira.

Mahirap Din naman maghanap ng parts ng Elantra sa labas. Siguro pinakamadali nalang would be Hondas tapos yun suzuki then hyundai

I'd go for the Ford Fiesta, based on topgears review as good as the honda jazz, fun to drive and fuel efficient too.

[powerfox]

I saw a lot of great feedback from the Fiesta. It's fun to drive nga raw po. However, my aunt/neighbor owns a Fiesta na pwede namin gamitin anytime. Ilang beses na rin po namin nagamit actually. So we're looking for something new po sana. :D

Pinakamadali Toyota

Tapos Honda. Tama ba? Hindi kasi ako masyado naghahanap ng genuine parts ng Honda sa labas.

Tapos Hyundai. Medyo alangan ang Suzuki, pero pang mga Jimny at Vitara siguro madami

Hindi sa tinatamad mag-explain ano, basta the 70K difference is worth it. Kung kaya naman ng budget.

Comfort and fuel economy?

Altis 1.6G A/T. Wala pang 900k. Easily matches and even beats the City 1.5E in terms of fuel economy. Very comfy too - maganda seats and maganda ride.

Or Elantra 1.6 GL - yun lang I find the exterior bare so kung kukuha ako nito, magpapalit akong rims at maglalagay ng fogs.

BTW are you paying in cash?

Kung financing baka gusto mo i-check yung Ford Focus TDCi hatch, may 100K+ na discount tapos pwede 99K DP all in tapos P3x,xxx a month for 3 years ang amortization. Medyo naiwanan na nga lang sa design pero andun lahat.

Features, power, efficiency and handling.

Matipid talaga. Tapos sobrang tulin, believe me
