Low Cost of Ownership, High Ground Clearance, Brand new. Need help to decide

[xxxlam]

Rush, 8.2 Km/Liter pinaka mababa ko. About 14++ Km/Liter sa TPLEX. Where do you guys getting the 6 Km/L? I can't comment on Mu-X because I haven't driven one.

Pero I have the impression na work-horse ang mga Diesel. Depende na siguro sa lifestyle na gusto ninyo.

Hi,

I'm currently looking to get a new car for daily use. Factors to consider is yung cost of ownership, yung ground clearance (yung hindi po sana sumasayad sa humps, pwede iakyat sa gutter, at pwede mag reverse park sa mga steep inclines).

Current options:
Toyota Rush 1.5 E A/T at 1M
Isuzu MU-X LS A/T at 1.3M

Car usage would be:
20,000 to 30,000 KM Per Year.
Will keep the car for at least 10 years, estimate up to 15 years.
Will not be selling the car afterwards, ipapadala nalang sa province.
If possible, sariling maintain lang sana sa sasakyan, change oil sa gas station, refill fluids, palit mga filter, etc. Then kapag may nasira, dun lang ipapagawa sa CASA or sa Mechanic.

Factors to consider sa cost of ownership:
Vehicle Price
Maintenance Cost
Expected Repairs
Insurance
Registration
Fuel Consumption

Please help me decide. Thanks in advance guys!

Ako nagasta ko pa lang sa Mux bluepower 2017 ko in terms of maint eh P16k sa casa (3 PMSES na yun, 1k, 5k, 10k) , tapos parang 10k pa dun libre meron ako Isuzu Coupon eh as freebies

Then fuel average of 1.5-2k per month lang ako pero do take note I only go around Ortigas, BGC makati, and i have 2 other alternate diesel cars to go around every week

Sa insurance pala ako gumasta ng malaki, naka almost 60k na ko for 2 years

Ang ok kasi sa isuzu walang keme, na kesyo kelangan ng FS oil daw , they recommend regular diesel oil or semi synth lang

And I dont gas to any of the big 3, Shell, caltex, Petron. They clean their fuels so much na sobrang pino na diesel lakas tuloy maubos

Ang Isuzu mas masaya kung may lead content pa din ang diesel, parang truck lol. Not really lead pero yun old school diesel sigruo boss, ptt, seaoil, total mas mura pa

Yan mitsu montero ok sana pero me racket kasi sa Mitsu casa eh gusto nila fully sunthetic diesel oil na ang laki ng patong, pero kayang kaya ng bagong Montero ang regular diesel oil

Case in point our family’s Pajero BK, nun 3 years sa casa, lagi average 10k every PMS, pero nun out warranty, P3500 na lang sa shell , pareho din performance

Ang Major down lang sa Isuzu MuX is yun magpapa service ka na, minsan katabi mo Isuzu elf or other big Isuzu trucks na may mga sharp edge, kakatakot kasi pwede talaga magasgasan ang MUx mo pag nagkamali sa maneobra tapos super sikip pa sa casa

Minsan nga nakikita ko ibang MUX ng ibang owners naka park tapos sa taascnya Isuzu elf, gumagamit kasi isuzu service nun motorized lift parking to save space

And also, dont expect too much sa service lounge.

First time service namin, sabi 2 hours lang daw makukuha na, so kami naman ni wife naglabas ng tig isang macbook to work , eh puros driver ng isuzu elf at crosswind ang nag-aantay sa service, medyo nahiya pa tuloy kami kasi para kami nagmamagaling dun.

Saka nga pala ang kape sa service eh walang ng gatas, dsti meron pa, nescafe white, kopiko blanca, meron silang water dispenser tulad sa bahah nyo na may hot dispenser na super init pag ginamit mo yun yun super nipis na paper cup nila. Nun una ko binuhat mintik ko na mabitawan sa paso

Black na nescafe na lang talaga ang andun , mah creamer naman at sugar. Pero wala yata brown

Diba tulad sa Honda and Hyundai when I used to PmS their may mga caffe latte, capucchino dispenser pa sila sosy

Tapos diba ang palabas sa big screen tv sa ford casa or even Honda, movies talaga Avengers, marvel ganun

Sa Isuzu Service lounge Eat Bulags, show time or kung hapon ka , yun mga drama sa abs cbn na reruns, yun sila claudine barreto at rico yan pa ata yun last time Na service ko

anukaba, alam nga dito na lahat ng cars ko eh puros diesel

Wildtrak - Pickup
Bluepower - PPV
Santa Fe - Crossover

Kumpleto ko na lahat ng pangarap na diesel mid-size car CATEGORIES ng. Would be diesel aspiring owners. Lanat yan standard leather seats interior hihi

Galing no? nakuha ko lang sa utang yan and proper timing ng bayaran, kaya kung me gusto kayo utangin nyo kahit di nyo afford, basta yun gusto nyo

Sa question ng thread na to , rush vs mux. Mux na kung yun tibok ng puso, utangin na yun excess kesa naman magpapalit ka pa ulet kasi wala naman kwenta gasoline cars dito sa tin kahit ba Toyota pa yan

Plano ko nga ipa bullet proof etong MuX ko pag tumagal sakin ng more than 15 years, wala lang trip lang kasi by that time mgs 50 something na ako, syempre dapat naka bullet proof diba, pero syempre by that time nakuha ko na din ang dream car ko na LC200. Labo no yun MUx naka bullet proof pero Lc hinde, eh yun lang kaya ng budget eh.

No brainer, mux has the highest ground clearance and lowest cost of ownership.

Utangin mo din ang pangpa bulletproof

Utangin mo din ang pangpa bulletproof

ma-approve kaya sa loan yun pag ganyan?

I'll take the Rush over the base mu-X just for the extra 5 airbags and standard stability control. Personally I find the mu-X's dimensions quite tricky to drive especially in our provincial roads.

Casa PMS price is around 5-7K every 5K KM for the older 2.5, though they claim the new RZ4E is cheaper to maintain and requires less consumable parts.

i agree.
kung hindi naman nagkakalayo presyo..
i still prefer MT innova over AT.
la lang.
gusto lang.

[atty.cadmus]

I am for Innova.

pero dahil MU-X at RUSH pinagpipilian, i might go for the MU-X. Malaki na, diesel pa. pwede nang pang harabas. Sa 30k per year mileage average, kayang kaya niya.

Nakakahilo? Sobrang taas siguro ang tire pressure? For as long as you feel at home with the car, araw araw mo pa naman gagamitin. Though for something that racks up highway mileage a lot, I would have preferred something with a bit more power. [emoji28]

mataas talaga wigo tire pressure. the owner's manual recommends 36 psi.
mas madalas rin masira gulong ko.
i do not know if this is because of the brand (champiro), the 36 psi, or the driver's aggressive (teener! heh heh) driving habits.

^apply trigonometry by measuring the actual ground clearance of the front bumper (opposite) and the distance from the front tire to the frontal edge of the bumper (adjacent)..that will be the tangent of angle theta (opposite over adjacent)
