    Thinking of replacing my FD with these 2 choices, Altis 2011 1.6V or Vios 2014 G. Dahil sobra lumagok ng gas yung FD ko dito sa Baguio. Help me decide which should I take between the two... Also considering 2nd hand SUVs (2010 CRV?).

    I use the car for daily driving within the city and weekend surf trips to La Union/Baler.

    So my priority is reliability for long drives, fuel efficiency, and ride comfort.

    I would go for the less old. the engine could still be good for another 10years. the transmission is very reliable. suspension wise.. maybe youll have to get kybs. reliability is all about maintaining the fluids and changing the wear and tear items. air filters and ac filters.

    next year its already 2020... and that 2011 corolla is almost 10years old. plenty of work might be needed.

    The consumption of the altis and the fd may not differ that much unless the tranny of the former is different.

    Btw, what's the consumption of your current car?


    do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do

    ride quality-wise, i find the altis rides better. more... luxurious, if that matters significantly to the user.
    but a perceived-smaller-vehicle is probably easier to drive around and maneuver in the crowded metro.

    but in up-and-down baguio...
    wouldn't a diesel with its usually-more-torque-y engine, be a better buy?

    Keep the FD as an Altis or Vios will not offer a significant increase in fuel efficiency. If you want to save in fuel expense, a diesel-fed vehicle would be a better option.

    By the way, mababa ata fuel efficiency ng FD mo on highway runs. The R18 engine could do 12-15 km per liter on the highway unless you have dirty intakes or some other issue.

    An Accent CRDI is a good option if you aim to save on fuel expense. However, you may miss the bigger and more refined interior of a Civic. There’s a reason why a Civic or Altis is more expensive and they offer more refinement compared to a smaller car - Vios, City, Accent.

    Or baka mabigat din paa ni TS? Pero yeah ocnsidering na dapat pag highway consistent and steady high speed, I would expect the FD to do at least 12km/L.

    All of your choices above are gas-guzzlers. I've owned all of these, and kept the Altis 2013 and Innova J 2014 Dsl

    Altis is 5.5 to 6.5 Km/L Mandaluyong to QC to Mandaluyong during rush hours. My wife ferry my kids to school using this car every day. The interior space, ride and drive comfort, AND SAFETY features are for me best in class/price point. Just have a suki repair man for your rack n pinion

    Innova is the best in FC, even better than my Accent CRDI Diesel (I have both AT, MT, DCT, etc... I have 9 Accents). It's a Grab Car, 140t km, and I've only changed fluids, clutch kits, and brake pads, and other consumables. How reliable can you get?

    If I can replace all my Grab cars to a 2.5L D4D Innova... I will in a flash

    Don't ever go for the Vios (considering your criteria). Animal yan sa gas. Mga 50 Grab drivers ko umalis because of its FC. Mahina pa A/C. There's nothing to like about this car except its looks.

    I still have my 04 Altis 1.6E manual as a daily drive here in Baguio and gets me 7-8.5km/L. The best FC I got from the highway is 21km/L at 80-120km/hr during early run going to manila. K&N drop-in filter, Denso IK16 Iridiums, Mobil 1 0W40 fully synthetic oil. Above 120km/hr and FC significantly drops to around 14-17km/L. These are the main reasons why the Altis is still with me even if I have newer diesel SUVs to use... any gas-fed car used here in Baguio esp with an auto tranny usually has poor FC because of the terrain and the terrible traffic nowadays....

    my worst was 6kpl (so far), pero ito yun matagal ako nakaidle while doing some butingting .
    pero mukha madagdagan 1k php ang gastos ko sa monthly gas consumption, coming from vios 2006 MT
    sa vios kasi bihira bumaba ng 11kpl ang average, kahit grabe traffic. pano kaya kung mazda 3 2.0r kinuha ko? [emoji848][emoji3166]
