This will be the second thread that me and my wife will be starting because we really need your honest opinions to help us decide on what car to buy with our hard-earned money. We are a family of 3 (w/ 1 yr old baby) and plans to add 1 more member to the family with 10 years We live in Baguio and will occasionally have long travel to Manila, Cagayan, Ilocos (once or twice every 2 months). Estimated travel distance per year would be at 10,000kms at the most. Plans to maintain the car 10-15 years and would religiously maintain PMS as noted on the owner's manual. Our budget is at 900,000 to 1M so we are considering the following and with some factors that we would like to get your comments and suggestions.
Our choices are the following:
1. Accent CRDI 1.6 A/T
2. Elantra 1.6 A/T
3. Toyota Innova E or G (ung G kc e outside budget constraints na)
4. Lancer EX 1.6 A/T
5. Toyota Altis 1.6 A/T
6. Toyota Avanza 1.5 A/T
7. Honda Civic 1.8 A/T
Just hoping you can put on some grade (10 being the highest, 1 is the lowest) on the following factors for each car (w/ your reason why this/that gets the highest score)
Performance
Safety & Reliability
Fuel Consumption
NVH
Comfort (Seating, Baggage, and Siksikan Factor)
Value for Money
Maintenance Cost/Year
We are very thankful for your help on this. Medyo nagkakaroon na kasi kami ni Misis ng matinding diskusyon sa kung ano tlaga pipiliin. We can't decide and we need some guidance for us to have a consensus. Thank you!
