1.1M or less crossover options - MG ZS vs Suzuki Vitara or other?

[dale323]

Thank you for the interesting and useful inputs po! Really appreciate it! For now, scout po muna and pag may chance, mag test drive and research pa talaga since I don't have much budget/money to burn

For the pickup po, interesting suggestion pero kasi sanay na kami na may cargo space sa likod (hehe...although pwede naman palagyan ng cover).

For Jimny, mejo ayaw ni wifey kasi masyadong boxy..although I would have to agree na maganda ang tindig and ample space naman

Again thank you po ulit! Godbless!

With your kind of budget, I would choose any pickup over any compact crossover. Depende sa mabibili mong pickup, minsan mas mura pa ang maintenance cost ng pick up kaysa sa mga crossover... need cargo space sa likod? a good camper shell or even a roller lid would do the job. I am also from the East area (Rizal) and pag ganitong tag ulan, ang sarap gamitin ng Pick up namin (NP300). Di ko problema ang baha sa diosdado macapagal bridge as well as baha sa ibang parts ng marcos hiway. HTH!

Hello Good morning everyone I currently own a 10-year old Honda City (120k kms+) and thinking of purchasing a new one to help out in de-stressing our daily workhorse (though with limited budget

What would be your choice in terms of:

1) Long term reliability
2) Space
3) Maintenance Costs and Interval
4) Safety
5) Vs other similarly-priced crossovers

Thanks!

The MG looks good. But despite the English badge, it is basically a Chinese car. Looks promising with a rising population on the streets, but I'd wait a few more years before considering one.

The Suzuki is also quite well received in the market. Rides pretty low though. If you are looking for ground clearance and wading depth in this segment, the Ecosport or Rush might be your only choices.

Pickup is a viable option provided the bed is of use to you. Otherwise, you will be driving a Hiace or Grand Starex sized vehicle that can only seat 5 passengers with a cargo area spanning half the vehicle exposed to the elements and your stuff banging around if they are too small, or not properly secured.

Base Innova perhaps? If you don't mind driving a manual.

sa ganitong segment, resale value na lang tigtignan ko so it's either the Rush or the Jimny. sa panahon ngaun kahit HRV na Honda, wale ng resale value gaso na mas malak sa vios eh, sigurado na gas guzzler na kasi ang segment na yan

[travajante]

wag ka maniwala ke trav, ang tutoo nasa puso niya is Mazda CX-3, medyo phase lang yan gusto nyan Jimny, lilipas din

Hahaha. Never been 1 to worry about what's thought of my thoughts. I've reasons for being all for this, OB sir. Rigid axle, ladder frame, RWD based real 4x4, easy to use, abuse & maintain. The bonus? It'll hold value...something I don't really give a hoot about. Need I say more?[emoji4]

Hi and good day. I would like to ask about the cabin temperature of the Vitara GLX with sunroof during summer days. Is the A/C enough to keep the cabin cool during hot summer days especially in the noontime traffic?

Hi Sir absolut_zero, July ko lang po sya na start i-drive around the City pa lang kahit 2PM ako umuuwi at minsan open area ang parking sa office hindi ganun kainit.. Kaya naman ng aircon palamigin agad.. Kaso, I'm not the righr person para makapag bigay feedback sa temperature.. [emoji28] Lagi lang po sakin naka set na 25C yung aircon and naka low pa yung fan nya.. Hindi po kasi ako pawisin, hindi rin madaling mainitan and preferred ko yung tamang lamig lang..
In short, kung sa preference ko lang wala naman ako reklamo sa temperature. Lagi lang din ako mag-isa kaya wala pa ako feedback from any passenger.. Btw, super dark tint ko na 3M sa sunroof satisfied naman ako.. Nagbasa din ako ng mga reviews about sa sunroof before my purchase, honestly hindi sakin issue yung mga binabanggit nila..
OT: bothered ako hindi sa temerature.. dun sa looks and feel ng plastic material na ginamit sa dashboard and doors.. pagpasok ko palang nung namimili palang ako na turn off talaga ako dun.. Hahahahaha [emoji28] hanggang ngayon bothered ako kapag napapansin ko siya.. gusto ko kasi mga interior ng Honda and Mazda.. Pero wala eh, di talaga makukuha lahat ng gusto and sa budget ko di kaya mag-H & M. Hehe [emoji16].. Main objective ko naman is safety lalo na new driver lang din ako.. Rear Cam, front and rear sensors plus 10inch android para sa waze ko laking tulong. [emoji4]

Depende din sa katawan ang aircon capacity ng car... pag medyo nasa overweight ka, i think magkaka problem ka if hindi todo ang aircon lalo na sa noontime... most car can cooldown the car even on summer days in dessert area...

Also, dependa talaga yan sa specifications nyo with regard sa choice of the car... tapos after checking the specs, check the budget if pasok, if not then check back again sa specs if ano pwede ma tanggal then decide... [emoji4] basta maganda interior ng mazda cx5 compared sa crv... hahaha! [emoji3577]

Bruh, pag bago car lang siguro? Pero if mga 2-3years na pwede natin i advise to check their aircon system first (baka need na ng cleaning or palit filter) then saka na tayo sa katawan magpa check... [emoji4] what you think bruh?

And this can be true, just like sa office... lamig na lamig kana pero yung katabi mo, kumakain pa ng dumstick di parin nilalamig... [emoji1787]

my thoughts had always been, "don't have them clean the aircon, until it don't cool anymore".

well, after over 13 years of regular use, i finally thought, i should have my aircon opened and cleaned, already.
well, i did, and it was clean as a whistle!

Thats great to hear but Doc, aircon saan po ba yan? Just to make it clear... [emoji1787]

BOOOO!!!! Whahahahahahahahaha [emoji3577][emoji1787]
Pero totoo, Honda CR-V nga at Mazda CX-5 ang kinaiingitan ko... Ganda din kahit exterior ehhhhh.. Hanggang tingin na lang ako kapag may dumadaan or may nakitang naka park.. Halos mabali leeg ko sa habol tingin.. [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

OT: May friend ako na payat pero pawisin kasi siya at madaling mainitan.. Kapag may hike ang travel namin mainit ulo nun at binubuhos sakin lahat ng kung ano kinakainitan nya ng ulo.. ako chill na chill pa, kapag nainitan na ako tapos i-check ko siya pulang pula na sya sa pagka-irita.. Tapos pagtatawanan ko siya.. [emoji23] Mataas lang siguro tolerance ko sa init.. Mas inaantok ako kapag mainit-init (e.g. tanghaling tapat sa tabing dagat plus yung hangin na slightly mainit, hirap paglabanan antok)..

2005 diesel innova.
it originally came with no cabin air filter (!!).
the guys at the aircon shop i went to, modified it, so's i can install one.

my office colleague also likes the new vitara. malakas siya sa casa, and nakakuha ng isa from among the first deliveries.

Kasama na dapat pala bmi ng tao sa specs ng a/c cooling capacity.

Ok ok.. [emoji4] naalala ko lang kasi nung napag usapan yung panlasa sa food parang nabanggit nyo po yung sigarilyo (aside from age sa pagkawala ng panlasa) and now yung cigarette lighter.. Nai-relate ko lang..
Non-smoker din kasi ako kaya hindi ko naiisip or naku-consider yung related sa cigarette.. Kaya na-curious lang po ako.. [emoji3577][emoji16]

yes Doc.. Even sa relatives, both sides ng parents ko wala ako naisip na naninigarilyo.. Kung meron man sa uncles or cousins ko baka di nila pinapakita or di ko lang nakita..
