Hello sirs, I'd like to ask for your help in picking a new car to replace our 2002 Altis.
The car will mostly be used for city driving, worst case scenario in terms of load would be carrying 4 adult passengers with a trunk full of groceries. I'm thinking a Hatchback might be a No go due to that but I'm open to suggestions.
Our Budget is <= Php 950,000
Has to be AT
Has to be Reliable/Durable. Able to last as long our previous car, given good maintenance, is a plus.
Fuel Efficient
Comfortable ride, roomy enough for at least 4 adults of above average height.
Amen to the Honda Jazz suggestion, since space seems to be a primary concern. "Low cost maintenance" is relative -- the Jazz will probably have the same maintenance cost as the Altis.
I asked around at Mitsubishi QA yesterday and the Lancer EX GLS was priced at Php 1,050,000.
I've also considered the Jazz, given that I've read great reviews about it, but my family does not like a Hatchback so we are keeping it as our last choice for the moment.
