Help in choosing a first car

[didot]

May I ask po what's wrong with chevrolet? Im currently torn between celerio and spark.

yeah whats up with chevy?

I remembered when I got my first car, it was a Toyota Wigo I had it covered by a car insurance immediately. Buti nalang, kasi after 4 months I got into a small accident and nag ka dent yung sa front. So, I would say na whatever car you would choose, pick something that feels right.

If you can afford the 96K difference between the J and the E, you get:

Defogger
Alloy wheels
Extra 2 Seats
Rear Wiper
2 Speakers
Fully Fabric Seats
Tumbling 2nd Row Seats
Rear Console Tray
Power Door Locks
Power Side mirrors
Wireless door locks

Mukhang sulit for me yung E if you can afford it.

At this point, you can also consider the Mobilio E at 829k... baka may discount pa din yun...

if you can honestly afford it, without having to eat cardboard for dinner, get the more expensive one.
that way, there won't be no "what ifs", later on.

but if you have to sacrifice your lifestyle significantly, get the cheap one.

Hi All,

I'm planning to buy my first 2nd hand car. My budget is 450k.

Since this will be my first car, I really want the best even though it is only a 2nd hand car. Any brands will be ok. I have 2 cars in my mind:

1. Honda civic SIR
2. Mitsubishi GSR

Please help me and suggests other cars within my budget that you know.

Need your ideas and suggestions! Thankyou so much.

the sir is what some may call a "cult car". it is too expensive for what it offers, if you ask me. it is also old. but, if it was cared for by an obsessive owner... a non-sir will probably be as good yet cheaper.
the gsr has only two doors. can you live with that? but it has four-door cousins. but it's also an old car, and you should expect repairs galore.

a 450K budget will give you many more choices aside from the above.
there's the bukambibig corolla altis.. the newer civic or a city.. you can even get an innova... i feel these are good second hand buys, because they're good cars by themselves, plus, there's lots of them on the road, suggesting ease of maintenance.

just keep in mind, they're used cars, not brand new cars.

Aesthetics Wise.
Kia Picanto followed by the Facelifted Wigo.

Sa Brio though maganda yung engine dahil previous gen jazz engine sya, sa paningin ko kasi parang may kulang eh, parang biglang na hati sa likuran yung kotse, nakapa straight and flat kasi sa likod hehe, pero that's just me.

Pero kung itsura lang, para sakin panalong panalo yung Chevy Spark na bago, lalo na yung new color. Pero di ko sure if madali/mura i-maintain.

Singit ko nalang din baka magbago isip mo na mag opt sa medyo malaking sasakyan.

*Vios 1.3 J
*Suzuki Ertiga
*Suzuki Swift

Malapit lapit yan sa price range ng mga pinagpipilian mo.

If desidido ka na talaga sa Mini HB. Gaya ng sabi ni *dr. d, the first 4 is ok, plus the celerio is worthy to consider too.

Sakto ito rin balak ko now. Tanong ko lang po sa palagay nio? ano po mas maganda kunin Wigo G MT = 560 or Vios J MT = 650? Nagaalangan po kasi ako sa Wigo mejo maliit compare sa Vios. Un lang kulang ung features ng Vios J. Alam ko wala po siya ABS tska EBD yata? Kailangan po ba talaga mga un? Tapos steel lang din ung mags nia may cover lang. Sa Wigo sakto po budget ko montly, around 8k+, pero sa Vios J gusto ko sana mas malaki 10K+ monthly ko pero tight nun budget ko monthly, pero kaya pa naman siguro.

Salamat po.

yun din dilemma ko sir...down to choices 2017 wigo g mt or 2017 bare vios...need your 2 cents mga sirs...

What variant po ng Vios pinagiisipan nio po sir? Ako rin, di ko alam kung Wigo G MT or Vios J. Nagaalangan po ako sa walang ABS tska EBD ng J. Ok lang kaya un?
