Buying a Family Car

[Louie_18]

Guys,
Need help. My wife and I are planning to upgrade our beloved Honda City 2006. We are focusing on the factors of the vehicle's seating capacity(around 6-8 persons), comfortable long distance driving(quiet engine), fuel efficient(leaning on diesel variants), long term use and less expensive in maintenance.

What would be your suggestions guys? Our budget is around 16-17k monthly and DP of 380,000.

Thank you so much

You did not mention how many years you are willing to pay for it. The safest choice should be a Toyota Innova.

I'd also recommend the Nissan Grand Livina as an alternative.

You might also be interested to take a look at the Kia Carens. Comfortable, can seat 7, at has a powerful yet efficient engine to boot.

Thanks sirs... By the way we can only afford 4 years to pay plan. We will look into Innova and Carens.

if budget is somewhat of a problem, then you might want to try to buy a used car. you'll have more choices then. ask around. some casas might have used but warrantied cars...

6-8 persons? recommend ko sana ang Grand Livina until sumakay ako eh nasikipan ako hehe.

Innova, Adventure and Crosswind.

*Louie_18, ikaw din pala yung nagtatanong dun sa isa pang thread dito.
pwede mo rin i-try yung innova.

The GL is a good car, kaso mahirap for adults to go to the third row.

I would recommend the Innova. Carens is good also kaso mas mahal yata.

IMO, you should also count the number of seatbelts. hehehehe
