Old E84 X1 looks awful, is cramped, but has a good engine for its size (even the 18d) and of course it's still a BMW. Would prefer an F30 over an E84.

The new X1 (F48) looks like a baby X3 and it's also the same size as the first X3 (E83). With a 20d B47 engine it has great performance too. That's what I'd consider as a used car later on.

Used F30s are still expensive ... looking for a small city car with decent ground clearance preferably diesel ... one with a decent interior quality ...

Like I always say, hindi ganon katipid ang akin, 5.5km/L pure city, rush hour driving. Probably will do better if there is more open road involved. From all that I've read in Tsikot forums, only I am claiming fuel consumption in the 5s. Everyone else claims 8km/L city or higher in general.

You may also consider the smaller Tucson CRDi. Will probably do better.

What with the heavy rains and flashfloods as of late, high ground clearance and wading depth is indeed a factor to be seriously considered in a car purchase.

have not yet visited enkat so I can't comment about that. im from the south so its just convenient to go to Elmer Moya for parts. what I could say is that his price is pretty reasonable for me. for a price ref. we bought a pair of Brembo branded solid front brake rotors for 5k.

mine is an e36 btw.

not pretty sure but my guess is yes. the f30 is 6 years old after all

Sir patulong po!

Pasensya in advance kay TS kung dito ko i-post.

I'm looking for a 2nd hand car po (300k max na budget). Since wala po ako sa pinas OLX lang yung ginagamit ko in searching a second hand car. Dalawa po yung natitipoan ko Xtrail 2008 and Escape 2010. Almost same milage po.

In that in mind mo, gusto ko po sana malaman ang opinion regarding the following.

1. Sino po yung nakakalamang para sa inyo.
2. Parts availablity lalo na po kung sa visayas (Iloilo) ko sya gagamitin.

By the way accept ko na po yung malakas sila sa gas. Pero gusto ko kasi talaga yung mataas at may malaking space sa likod.

TIA

call your hometown, and find out, which of them have a dealer in your proposed driving sphere of influence.
i.e., kung walang nissan sa area, san kayo bibili ng spare parts?

Both naman po ng brand may dealer po. Nakatira po kami near the city.

Sorry po malabo ang post ko. Mas marami po bang available na part outside casa xtrail.

So since Mazda fan talaga ako simula pa nung dati, lahat ng car ko po ay puro Mazda talaga. I got my first Mazda CX-5 last 2007 ago. However, I've decided to sell the said car last 2012 in order to buy a new one which was the Mazda MZ-5 RF and I got it here <moderator snip> and I've been using it until now. Black yung pinili ko and it is very much comfortable when I am driving. Sobrang ganda ng takbo and everything is all good. Thus, I think Mazda 3 09 is indeed good for me.
