help decide ertiga vs avanza vs mobilio

**ice15** · July 20th, 2016 11:39 AM

Back to the thread...

How long do you plan to keep the car, and are you willing to pay extra if you car's parts are not available outside the dealership?

Avanza has been around for so long, parts will no longer be an issue.

It's also the easiest car to sell (when its time to upgrade)

I have no experience driving the Ertiga so I won't comment on it.

Personally, I will always choose the car with a bigger engine...

Although the Mobilio's interior doesn't look good (I also hate the seats), driving it feels like a car.

The Avanza is just too high for me... I wonder how will it drive on the Windy parts of the North... Or maybe the highway during a storm. (I feel like handling will be close to the FX)

I wouldn't mind buying an Avanza... But my wife hates it... I suggest you test drive all 3... Then talk to your wife/children which car they prefer

The Honda Shuttle (not available locally) uses the Fit platform.

In that case,- (and it is my impression that the Brio has a shorter[?] wheel base than the Jazz), then the more awkward fit for a 7-seater. Ayos!

Also, the Mobilio looks uncomfortably thin (anaemic) from the back

Whew!

That's because the Avanza is a rebadged Daihatsu Xenia. Daihatsu designed and manufacture them and sell them to Toyota under a contract.

pag dumami na suzuki ertiga sa daan, dadami na rin siguro spare parts. yan ang advantage ng Toyota Avanza, matagal na. Honda naman is prestige ang branding nila. Wait for the facelift version (interior) nila kung Mobilio mapusuan mo.

i am also in the same boat as you. looking for something to supplement (not replace) our 16 year old Revo. i'm also looking at the same cars as you, but still waiting for the launching of the Honda BR-V (if ever).

isn't the ertiga too cramped for 7 people?
I have experienced riding in mobilio's 3rd row and I felt comfortable. I'm just 5'5" though..

Maluwag naman basta ma adjust mo lang ng sakto yung middle seats

I tried driving Ertiga and it's surprisingly nice.
I haven't tried driving Avanza. I rode the old ones but I didn't like.
I checked the Mobilio at the show room but I don't like the dashboard.
My friend's Spin is nice inside out. I think you'll have problem with the availability parts years from now.
