Hindi nga maganda track record ng AC Motors sa long term ownership.

Para sa price range, sa Corolla Cross G ako. Nice to have naman sa akin ang ADAS.

naalala ko tuloy case ng City namin... It was a "E Sport"

nung mabangga yung skirt sa likod, H. Makati told me wala silang replacement part for it...

True, a friend’s golf gti was sitting in his garage for close to a year na kasi walang parts IIRC suspension parts.

Lol daig pa mismo ng ford na may surplus parts mula sa mga katay o parts-out na units kahit papano.

For Ford, parang yumaman si Matz Mechanic dahil sa brand nito.
Nag expand yung shop niya, dami nakatambak na Ford.
Halos di na makalabas mga naka queue na sasakyan halos lahat mga hard trouble (Engine overhaul, transmission overhaul, ECU issue, etc..)

In fairness, marami naman siyang nakukuhang parts sa mga supplier nya, almost lahat orig.
Siguro ang Ford CASA yung mabagal mag source ng parts.

Never had a problem with AC mobilities dealers. from my old Honda jazz to a VW golf gts.
i even had a warranty claim that Ac mobility approved without question.
parts did take over a month to arrive but its typical for most European cars and even Japanese cars.

From your choices get the BYD sealion 6, or wait for the Sealion 5 which should arrive next month.
i have friends who are Toyota loyalist driving fortuners and had then test drive the SL6,
Their Toyota Fortuners are now stuck in the garage. Once a week to every other week na lang daw nagagamit.

If resale value lang, Fortuner pa rin.
At least after 10 yrs, may value pa Fortuner mo.
Compare sa EV/Hybrid na parang questionable pa yung resale value.
Yung buyandseller dealer dito sa amin, nag post talaga sa FB na lubog resale value ng EV, since eto din nangyari sa US.
Kinikwestyon kasi sila dun sa nagpa consign sa kanila siguro why ang baba ng value binigay nila sa Hybrid car.

sa totoo lang... naiisip ko din yang resale value... pero di ko sinama sa concerns ko.

As I said, daughter ko gumagamit ng City namin ngayon and sya rin gagamit ng replacement nya.

5-8 years later, kapag mag-change na sya ng car... hindi ba mas masaya ibenta yung Toyota Yaris Cross HEV compared sa Sealion 6?

Pero di ko na muna inisip yun... in all aspects, mas maganda yung Sealion 06. problem ko is support ng BYD and AC Mobility.

Yung support lang talaga.
May vlog si Autorandz nito, nagpa repair ng hybrid battery sa kanila.
Magka issue kapa sa insurance dahil bagsak talaga value dahil nga sa battery ng hybrid.
Toyota Altis Hybrid yung dinala sa kanila.
Buti hinanapan ng hybrid battery from China, naka order sila dun sa China compare sa CASA na napakamahal (300k daw yung buo).
Nasa less than 100k lang ata daw nagastos nila sa battery replacement.

[GTcervan]

Toyota altis na hybrid nagkaroon ng issue sa battery? Bakit daw? Pag atoyot usually indestructible daw ah.

Agree dun sa resale value. If yun ang hanap, then don't consider a hybrid or ev.

understandable.
personally,
if i bought a new car, i'd use it as often as i can, while the warranty is still in place.

when was the car purchased, i wonder?
as i understand it, toyota warranties its hybrid batteries for up to 8 years...
if still under warranty, i'd bring it to the casa and not elsewhere.
