Vios Replacement / 300-350k Budget

[nicolo]

Hello again sirs!

Hihinggi sana ako ulit ng tulong. Maraming nakatulong sa kin dati dito when I was looking for my first second hand car.
I've no complains when I decided 3 years ago to get a second hand Vios as my family's first car. Wala akong naging ka-proble-problema sa Vios.

This year nakaipon na ko ulit ng konti and Im planning to replace na yung Vios ko (2005 1.5G model)
Coming from Vios what can you suggest ang good replacement sirs?

Last weekend my wife and I visited some second hand dealers and eto yung mga napagpipilian namin.

1. 2009 Honda Jazz - okay na ko sa 1.3 since Daddy driving naman na ko. Worried ako baka Cagayan or B-Plate makuha namin.
Question sirs:
How can we identify if the unit is converted?
Any known issues ng local unit?

2. 2009 Honda City - as I mentioned ok na ko sa 1.3
Any known issues?

3. 2009 Altis

4. 2009 Vios ulit


TIA sirs!

Why replace a second hand, with a second hand of same category?

Just my 2 cents on macro economic perspective.

Why not get a bigger family car, or a brand new sedan. I am not against the 2nd hand pero same banana po kasi.

On your question, i like the jazz and altis.

[bukriv]

Jazz sir, for its spacious interior saka flexible yung seating set up.

[mda]

Why do you want to replace the car to begin with? The answer to this question will help us recommend.

IMHO this is a different banana. TS is looking to replace a 2005 car with a younger 2009 car.

btt: I'd go for the Altis.

[dos2]

Another side of the coin lang po... choose Jazz po para ibang brand naman in preparation na rin po sa next purchase mo na hopefully brand new na. Atleast naranasan mo na po ownership ng 2 brands. =)
Pero personally, assuming all cars are in good condition, I might choose the Altis.

[Syuryuken]

family car? get the Avanza

[james09]

Go with the altis. Its a segment higher than the rest of your choices. Meaning better road presence, better ride quality and space. Although if you are considering space, the honda jazz is also a good choice kaso yun nga mejo matagtag compared sa altis. My family have all your choices except for the vios. I remember when my wife was still pregnant, yung altis or SUV lang gusto nyang sakyan kasi mas comfortable sya.

[crosswind]

If it's in ur choice i'll pick the 2009 altis
ung city 1.3 underpowered daw sabi ng isa kong kaibigan (2009)

Kung wala sa list mo ung FD civic or Toyota rav4

so what's wrong with your current car? is it showing its age? are you bored with it?
if you are bored with it, then it is not the time to replace it. that might be like jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

but if you really want to buy, perhaps if you think about what the car will be used as...

[vhanz82]

you can also opt for brand new vios j or e variant.

[99moves]

Among the choices sa altis ako second is jazz. FD sana mas ok. Baket ka nga ba magpapalit?

[nicolo]

Thank you for your inputs sirs.

The reason why I would like to replace the Vios is because of it's age. Bale mag 10 years na kasi yung auto.
Pero so far naman till now wala akong ka-proble-problema sa kanya. Nagpalit lang ako ng fan last year. YUn lang ang major na gastos na nagawa ko and the occasional change of fluids/maintenance stuff.

Gusto ko lang sana ng mas younger car sirs, and ang plan ko is to keep that replacement car for the next 5-10 years sana. Gusto ko syang maging gift sa panganay ko kasi by that time pwede na sya mag-drive.

Brand new is not an option kasi madami pang binabayaran like bahay and tuition fees.

Madaming boto sa Altis then Jazz. Im leaning towards the Altis and wife ko naman is Jazz. For me kasi yung Altis para hindi sya magmumukhang dated kahit 10 years na. Sakto pag ginamit ng anak ko 10 years from now. Para syang pamanang Daddy car talaga

Can you let me know sirs yung strengths/weaknesses nung isa vs the other in terms of maintenance cost and power? Kasama na din Honda FD.

1. 2009 Jazz
2. 2009 Altis
3. Honda FD (not sure what year model ang pasok sa budget)

Salamat sirs.

[james09]

sir based on my personal experience, ok naman both cars. My family owned both cars and I had the chance to drive both as my daily commute. parehas naman low maintenance yan. sabi nga nila you'll never go wrong whichever you choose unless bad unit yung makuha given na second hand ang bibilihin mo.

ang pro ni altis, its a bigger car. mas maluwag sa loob and mas maganda ride quality. mas executive din ang dating ni altis. if may business meeting ka tapos nagkasabay kayo ng ka-meeting mo sa parking, mas may dating if compact sedan ang sasakyan mo (opinyon ko lang). kaya nga yung mga hotel and expats, usually altis or camry service vehicle nila.

on the other hand ang pro naman ni jazz, yung cargo space (mas malaki cargo height nya sa altis) and mas maliit. madaling magshort cut sa mga eskinita.

my vote: altis

[Challenger75]

Mas mahal piyesa ng Honda than Toyota. Tapos maselan din sa fluids ang Honda, kailangan power steering, atf, coolant etc genuine Honda rin. Mas maporma nga lang design ng Honda, pero I think it's better to go for practicality now than looks. I would know, I still have my Honda City and I plan on replacing it with a Toyota Altis din.

[GTi]

If your main reason to buy a new car is to upgrade, among your choices I'd suggest the Altis. 1.6L is very fuel efficient and has the power when you want it, especially during long drives.

If you plan to do this again a few years down the line, the Altis also happens to have pretty good resale value.

[airolynx]

Altis or civic fd sir. Actually kahit jazz okay lang. Kung ano nalang prefer nyo. All cars in your list will last 10 more years if that is your aim.

[jut703]

Wala kang mabibiling 10th gen Altis sa 300-350k. Kung meron man, siguradong sakit ng ulo yan.

Even if you get a 2010 Altis V (facelifted with new dual VVTi engine, around 550k), in 10 years this will still be a 15 year old car.

IMO just save more. You already got yourself a good secondhand unit. Not all secondhand cars for sale will be as good as your Vios na walang major sira. I think you're pushing your expenses too much for something unnecessary.

Definitely the most logical point/perspective. Imho.

Thank you very much sa lahat ng suggestions nyo sirs.

I'll also think about the other suggestions na keep the Vios muna.

Thank you ulit sirs.
