MINI-SUV suggestions?

[niky]

* to the others: hello nosebleed mga post nyo..may mga suspension, rpm, axle..hay there's a lot to learn pa tlga..

well, i just have to go see the jimny in person, di ba sabi nila if your buying yuor car its like love at first sight..kung may chemistry so bka siya na nga para sa akin (sorry umaandar pagkababae ko..

Nosebleed ba? Hahaha... okay... in simple terms, the Jimny's suspension resembles that of a World War 2 Army Jeep. Which is also why some people say it's "ancient". If you've ever ridden in the third row of an FX Taxi, that's close to what it's like... though the Jimny isn't that bad. The ride isn't great, but it's more than bearable for short city commutes.

True... if you like it... why not? Suzuki makes pretty good engines, and the Jimny's undersides are tough, so it should last you a long time. ;)

*hydra:

niky pretty much summed up why I referred to it as 'ancient'. It literally *is* a truck, but the good thing is, since that it's based on simple tech, it will last forever. It pretty much is like the perfect city car for Metro Manila.

Overpriced because if you opt for the AT variant, it costs over 800k. It costs nearly the same as the top variants of subcompact cars, for something made using old tech and with not much features. This is not even mentioning the fact that you get a smaller engine that isn't even as fuel efficient (IIRC) and lesser interior space, compared to a subcompact car.

(Yes, this is the frustrated side of me that initially wanted a Jimny but can't justify its value for money. )

Maybe we should make an almost-Jimny owners' club? We almost got one secondhand, but it was a matic 4x2... I really want a manual 4x4.

[Starex_Gold]

since you like it rough, just buy a mitsu strada.

ask her for more money (just 200k more). hehe.

brader, SUV kamo hindi PICK UP. at di ok na mangutang

i could suggest Suzuki jimny. kaso mukang outdated na at napasobra ang liit

pwede naman mga 2nd hand na X-Trail, CR-V (if you dont mind the fuel consumption). or 2nd hand na rav4.

or yung mga SUVic SUVs. pwede ka pasama dyan kay testament pag bibili ka :naughty2:

*niky:

I would imagine that there are many other almost-Jimny owners out there. If only Suzuki Phil. kept the prices slightly above the micro cars and below the subcompacts...

Given the state of the weather today in MMla, Jimny+snorkel+bigger tires would've been perfect.

*jave: yeah, true kung nka-jimy na ako, pede na ako magbiyahe on any weather condition without worrying kung mamatayn ako ng makina..

last night, while i was at the mall, i saw a jimny parked, nag-mukha akong magnanakaw and was trying to see how it looked inside..my brother had to pull me away kc the owners were coming..so they actually saw me trying to take a photo of the car..hehehe..on stalker mode..

[actor21]

thats exactly the idea of the jimny

Nice one! I agree 100%! Remember how the Carens's price shot up so quickly? Hehe.

To the OP: maybe you can get the Kia Soul right away at their reduced price! Don't wait for another 3 months after it gets launched!

[jave]

If we're gonna be pedantic about it, the Soul is, IIRC, a crossover, not a true-blue SUV like the Jimny.

But yeah, good luck on the Soul. Chances are, it'll be overpriced like the rest of Kiaphil's line-up. There are some unconfirmed rumors that it'll even be Hyundia Tucson price level.

[Gerbo]

Except for Suzuki, the market is really wanting in this car segment---the mini-SUV. They also scrapped the old Vitara's size and make it Grand.

How long does TMP realize there is a void to be filled by bringing in the Daihatsu Terio/Bego, a.k.a Toyota Rush.

[a9828]

i've seen the rush in sg last year. if they can only bring this into the philippines and price it at around 800k, sureball hit yan.

[hydra925]

hay, so aside from the jimny ala ng iba pa? napakahirap naman mag-isip...so anyway kung alang mini-suv choices what would be the next best choice, mukhang hindi mini-suv babgsakan ko..grrr..ung mga ibang choices na mini-suv ala naman sa pinas...

check out the car chart at motioncars.com, nandiyan na lahat ng models na avaliable sa pilipinas.

it would really help if you could identify your actual needs for the vehicle para we could help you make some sort of a shortlist.

[niky]

If it's a tall, small car you need? Tucson? The gasoline one is under 1m.

Otherwise, why not go for a super-mini, if you're single? The i10 is great, and seems to be selling like hotcakes. The base model is just under 500k... and the refinement is similar to the Vios and City, which start at about 100-150k more.

[renzo_d10]

Chery Tiggo and Suzuki Jimny lang ata.
