SUGGESTIONS for a NEW CAR

[hydra925]

Hi guys!!

I just want to ask your expert opinion re: car buying tips for a newbie like me.

The thing is I'm planning to buy my first car. Actually, I already planned to buy one last year but my finances didn't permit it. Last year, i was seriously eyeing a mini-suv. Pero there's nothing in the market na kaya ng budget ko. Unless may alam kayo.

So now sedan na lang cguro. Kc ung Sub-compact I think the choices are Jazz, Yaris. Eh medyo liit siya for me.

One more thing, ayaw ko toyota altis or vios kc parang ang dami na ng ganon....

So any suggestions? Budget ko ay around 700k to 800k. Manual Transmission and Tipid sa Gas. Hope to hear from you soon.

Lancer 1.6 GLX
Honda City 1.3 A M/T
Accent 1.4 M/T
Fiesta 1.4 M/T TREND
Sentra 1.3 GX M/T
Mazda 2 1.5 and 1.3 M/t
Aveo 1.4 M/T

dami nyan. Depende na sa needs mo kung ano pipiliin mo dyan. Point of advise though, mas maganda ang mga 10k km pms intervals. Less balik sa casa, less gastos.

Okay, sa mga nag-reply thanks. I've been seeing the Lancer 1.6 GLX na one of the choices. Tinitingnan ko nga siya and mukhang ok naman. May mga disadvantages ba ito?

all I can say, bang for the buck ito para sa price niya sa market. nandito na ang lahat para sa mid-size sedan.

major disadvantages : old school engine (not variable valve timing), fuel guzzler for a 1.6 engine, old body (but for me maporma pa rin ito)

when you say its a fuel guzzler? how many km/l ang usual nito? anyway, other than the lancer, from the list from the earlier post what would be the better option? except for the city ha (kc fiancee ko un na ang car niya)...

Really old na ang 1.6 GLX.

The following are probably the best options currently out there in my opinion.
Honda City 1.3 A M/T
Accent 1.4 M/T
Fiesta 1.4 M/T
Mazda 2 1.5

With the Fiesta and Mazda 2 being my top picks.

since this is using a 1.6 engine, expect that its FC is lower than the others. but not too much. it's design is old (been facelifted twice for the past 7 years). Advantages, more torque, more HP, 4Wheel disc brake and good sound system. We bought one last year and very happy about it. Though my second choice (and probably our new car next year ) is either the 2 or fiesta. Those two have 10k pms intervals which means less hassle going back to casa as well as less maintenance cost. City... Siguro kung may 1.5 m/t.

BTW: Our lancer's FC is 9-11 (km/ltr) city driving. Pag throttle tripping, mga 7-8. Highway is 14-16 (max 120km/hr) but can get to 18 if strictly below 80km/hr.
