Need help, best car to buy under 1m

[blaster101]

Hi all,

I'm planning to buy a brand new car early next year and would like to have your opinion on which car.

We already have a Mux (m/t) so I'm looking for an a/t this time.

Priorities would be
1. Driving dynamics
2. Comfort
3. Maintenance cost
4. Fuel economy
5. Value for money

Space is not a problem since we already have an suv.

Thanks everyone

1. BR-V
2. Mobilio
3. Avanza
4. Ertiga
5. City
6. Vios
7. Xpander kung below 1M

I'd spend an extra 100k on top of the 1M and get myself a Civic 1.8L. It checks all those 5 requirements you listed.

Below 1M, I guess you will be hard-pressed to get something that fits all the requirements.

1. Driving dynamics - Fiesta, Mazda2
2. Comfort - Altis, Sylphy, Forte
3. Maintenance cost - Vios, City, Jazz
4. Fuel economy - Accent CRDi, City/Jazz
5. Value for money - Mobilio, BRV (7 seats)

This or the vx variant but you have to add p100k more if you want the latter. The fuel economy and the interior quality is awesome for it's price but not necessary the best. Actually, you'll find it having better materials inside than your mu-x.

I agree. City VX owner here. And I am satisfied with the purchase.

Though I have to admit that it is not the most engaging car to drive(if you are into a more sporty ride, then this car is not for you). It’s more on the relaxing side. My passengers often says that the ride is quiet and comfortable for a subcompact sedan.

If space is not an issue, get yourself a Mazda 2 or base Mazda 3. Maintenance should not be a worry with the Yojin 3 program of Mazda, free PMS for 3 years.

Thanks for the quick responses,
I would really like to have the civic but 1m is already a stretch to my budget.

My top picks for now
1. City 1.5E, is the VX worth that 100k?
2. Mazda 2/3, which is better?
3. Jazz.

I didn't consider the vios since the 1.3E A/T is already more expensive than the city.

Mazda will win in driving dynamics, the City is more practical. The Jazz is a hatchback alternative to the City.

Up to you. The VX will have SOME of the toys the Mazda has but the City E doesn't (Slightly better interior than the E, Paddle shifters, should help with the 'sporty' feel)

Also consider: Altis G at slightly under 1M. Loses on the sporty feel but is an even more practical choice.

Based on reviews, medyo tight raw sa loob ang mazda 2 and 3 compared to other competitors, pati ingress/egress din sa likod.
