If you want a simple point A to point B car, just get the most basic Vios you can find. If you can drive a manual, get the newest Vios J that fits your budget. If you want extra amenities, get the Vios E.

Both are 1.3 non-frills variant of the Vios. Has tons of spare parts literally EVERYWHERE. Cheap to run too.

A relative of mine bought one before, a 2010 Vios J for 285K. Used it for about a year and a half, clocked around an extra 30-40T Kms in it (car was used for business purposes) and sold it for the same price.

The only thing that she changed was the battery.

Yun nga lang, it's not a very exciting car. Takes some $$$ as well to make it look good. Pero as a first car, you literally couldn't ask for more.

Also, I forgot to add. With the looming inevitability of gas prices shooting up to 50+ pesos per liter, a first timer wouldn't want to get stuck with a car that's gas-guzzling and/or a car that's pain in the ass, maintenance-wise.

Hi Sirs,

Thank you for your replies. Apologies for my late reply.

Duly noted lahat.

*renzo

Oo nga sir mukang ok vios kase widely popular sya. Pero medyo mahal po ung 2012 model and up. Also bakit ung metro nung vios nasa gitna?

*stock

Un na nga sir. Sobrang ok tingnan nung elantra.


-----

Torn between 2 models.

2011 - 2013 elantra around 300 to 350k.

2014 - 2016 Nissan Almera 280 to 350k.

Btw sir newbie po sa car so automatic trans ung preferred.

Should I sacrifice years over looks and performance? Or meron pa po kayong other suggestions?


Thank you po sa sasagot.

Hi guys,

What Service Vehicle would fit my need for a 300K budget. 7 - 9max seater, na tipid sa fuel consumption.
Im choosing between, Adventure Diesel, Revo Diesel, but dipa rin maka hanap, Im considering Toyota Avanza, parang mas mabilis bulimi nito, besides newer model pa kahit gas...

Help po to enlighten me...
Salamat

bago ang lahat. Are you a pastor's son? Kasi yung username mo pang bible.

Jan sa choices mo eh ang hirap eh dahil anti-diesel ako. Avanza sana kasi gaso yan but its one notch below the vios.

Para maintindihan mo ako eh vios = angels burger.

avanza = bentelog. (If highschool js prom pwede pa tiisin gumamit vios pero pag avanza sigurado ang layo ng parking mo. Ayaw mo masight ng classmates. Pag yung kasama mo nanalo promqueen eh iba na kasabay pauwi.)

So yung adventure and crosswind eh tokneneng na yan. Pero crosswind looks better sa avanza pero dahil diesel eh bumabaho talaga tingin ko. Narinig mo na ba tunog nyan and nakita mo usok tambutso???? So third world!!!!

adventure. it's an auv.
the adventure has only been discontinued very recently, and there are a lot of them on sale, compared to the revo.
that suggests, easier maintenance.
my dislike with the avanza is that, to me, it guzzles gasoline.

yun nga daw po advantages. how about sir repair ng transmission mahal po ba tlga sa Automatic?

repair? nasira na yan...

do preventive maintenance to avoid costly repairs..

every 24mo ang transmission fluid...

Most of the cars our family has gone through are automatics. The only one that had a transmission related problem was a 1997 Honda Accord. That was way back around 2002. It needed a transmission replacement, and since it was done in the casa, damage was 200k. However, if you happen to be able to source a surplus unit outside, repair cost will just be a fraction of that. Never had any transmission problems with all the cars that came after.

As for newer model or looks and performance... I'd say its a case by case basis. But if both vehicles are of the same class, with negligible performance differences, as a general rule I'd go for the newer but supposedly inferior vehicle.

We saw our 2002 Honda Civic AT that we sold in 2013 at SLEX last year. 16 years and running.

[dr. d]

when i saw my old sentra, a few years after i sold it, i wanted to buy it back.
sigh...

truly, we only realize what it is that we lost, after we lose it.

Haha. True.
I saw the small body i had on a mechanic's shop and quickly went over to check it.
Sabi nung nakabili, buti namukaan nyo pa.

I can relate to this bro...- my garage,- my castle....

I had a chance to own the three diesels (Adventure, Crosswind and Revo), among the three, the Adventure was the smoothest and quietest. If properly maintained, almost feels like a gasoline (not in the acceleration department though ). Worst is the Crosswind (pardon on the owners please), the vibration is so harsh I felt like having numb hands during long drive, especially in traffic. For a family car, I prefer the Adventure.

As for the Avanza, I owned one before, in Automatic Transmission version. It maybe not as economical and fast as say a 1.5 liter sedan, but it gets you there with more seating capacity. Plus the maintenance is so cheap. It only consumes 3 liters of engine oil, and 1.5 liters of automatic transmission oil during changes. You cannot compare though its loading capacity versus an Adventure as it is totally a small MPV.

Tyaga lang, Sir, may makikita ka ding maayos na Adventure.

Salamat bro sa input

Salamat sa reply, I am a pastor BTW, may mga kilala rin ako ayaw sa diesel. Naglagay ako sa option ng avanza, parang dun lang papasok ang budget po.

The Adventure's fine. In fact I know of at least two of our pastors who drive Adventures. It is a little cramped since it is the smallest among the Revo/Adventure/Crosswind trio, but still a very practical vehicle especially if you get the 10 seater version. Maintain it well and there won't be any black smoke.

pastor melchizidek,

Ok nagets ko na bakit kailangan mo yang madami mauupuan. Laking sunday school pala ako kaya narecall ko agad yang "the order of melchizedek"

Try mo magtest drive sa casa para mafeel mo lang difference. Try mo avanza, adventure and crosswind. Tapos doon ka na pili sa second-hand market.

I see. mostly kase ng kausap ko laging preference is manual, aside from mas ramdam mo daw pagdadrive, mura din daw ang maintenance cost compared to automatic. I'm totally inlove with Elantra when i saw the ad for a 2nd hand car for elantra in RED with only 33k odo(good thing?)

hard to decide on car preference vs newer car on a cheap sale.

totally budget constrained.
