    Swift or Brio in that price range. The Swift looks and drives like a subcompact rather than a supermini. The Brio is modern and looks more upscale than the other cheaper options.

    Mazda 2 costs 360k more tho? I think most Wigo buyers don't have an extra 360k (or 7.5k/month for 5 yrs with interest) to upgrade to a Mazda 2, otherwise they probably would've gone for a subcompact (or a subcompact CUV priced the same).

    Oh, forgot about the latest Brio, haven’t checked Honda showroom yet. Swift’s cash discount offer of 95k is quite tempting. Is it true that maintaining a Honda car is more costly?

    Thank you!

    Yes, agree with Ninja, kung yun yung nagbigay ng spark sayo, then you should get that one.

    Important talaga yung test drive. You just have to feel the car in your hands. However, if you’re getting those small cars, get the one with the most interior space.

    I never liked the Brio's rear. Then again, sa choices mo, I will always choose the Toyota and Honda vs the susuki and Kia.

    My previous car was a Toyota Altis, my current car is a Honda Civic. Maintenance has been cheaper with the Honda because they only require PMS every 10,000 km or 6 months vs the 5,000 km/3 months interval of Toyota.

    In the family, we have an Innova and a Fort, and I can say that with regards to the number of months, Toyota is not rigid at all, sir.

    We usually bring in our rides for its usual PMS at 5,000 kms OR once a year, whichever comes first. For the Innova, which is used less frequently, the PMS so far is just once a year. The Fort which eats up anywhere around 13,000 kms to 15,000 kms in a year, we bring it 2x to 3x a year.

    So far, we've not been called out on this practice by the dealership(s) as something that will void the warranty, if that's the concern.

    I have my maintenance because of the 5k interval not the 3 months. When I had my Altis I would rack up 5k km every 2 months. I only have my oil change every 10k so the 5k intervals are usually cheaper than the 10k intervals.

    If you want to save on gas, Mirage or celerio.
    Vios if you want a more refined ride out of your choices. Class below ang mga iba mongchoices.
    Swift if you want a cross between. Itis better looking.

    Dark horse, an almera 1.5 (not 1.2).

    its got a reliable torque converter instead of the honda/nissan cvts.

    1.5L engine for under 800k its good with an automatic trans

    cost of servicing/maintaining with nissan is the cheapest industry wide. not sure why mantrade removed this info.

    drove one and the suspension is comfort oriented. floaty

    ...because it's a nissan... for all the real and imagined dis-advantages that may inspire..?

    Not a well-seller? Hmmm, I see a lot around. The 8K down did its job....& likely lots & lots of repos.
    It's greatest draw or irritant, whichever applies to one's palate, is its 'aesthetic reversibility', doc. You can't tell the front from the back, at a glance. Needs a while to grow on you, if it ever does....which hasn't me.[emoji4][emoji854]
