Which car to buy? Accent Mirage Avanza Fiesta or others?

[Richardson Chan]

Hi tsikoteers! My mom wants to buy a new car this December. She is in her late 50's and she wants a car that's easy to drive. Her main requirement is Automatic Transmission para madali lang i-drive. And low cost maintenance. Yun lang. It will be used as daily driver from home to our store (farm supply business) to the bank and back. Mostly highway driving lang. Wala masyadong traffic. A total of 25km per day give or take. Monthly trips from home to Tuguegarao (for check ups) will be around 200km round trip.

My mom and dad will be the primary users of the car.

The car will be acquired via bank financing.

Di naman strict sa budget but I don't want my mom to spend too much dahil nga bank financing ang mode of payment. Let's assume a maximum of 750k.

My mom is currently inclined to c-hoose the Accent 1.4 AT because her sister owns one but I think the TOTL Mirage is a better buy. Then there's the Avanza and Fiesta na pampagulo but worth looking at before she decides.

What do you guys think? Thanks in advance!

my opinion will be cancel out the accent. kasi nasa requirements ang low cost maintenance, nako, yung pms ng HARI na 3 months, malaki yun, plus her sister owns one so para maiba naman. hehe

for me better buy talaga ang mirage TOTL. ang daming features na siguradong magugustuhan ng mom mo. pero kahit yung GLX lang ok na yun e. para mas maliit ang magagalaw nyo sa budget. pero kung ok lang talaga gumastos ng mas malaki laki, fiesta na. bigger engine for long trips. pero kaya rin naman siguro ng mirage yun. small body, 1.2 engine.

for the avanza, kung may chance na may uupo na sobra sa 5 people kahit minsan, eto na lang. better safe than sorry. hindi mo mabibili ang space. kung biglaan kailangan sumakay na additional 5 people besides your parents, atleast walang problema. pero kung hindi naman mangyayari yun for sure, wag na to.

San kayo dito sa Cagayan?

Diyan ka mali dito sa Cagayan Valley every 5k ang PMS (at depende sa engine oil) hindi applicable ang every 3 months.

Wag kasing post ng post alamin muna kung applicable ba sa lugar or hindi yung every 3 months PMS.

ok sir. noted. im not saying mirage is the best. im saying that you may want to have a look because of it's features and price. di ko naman pinipilit e. mas mabuti pa ngang vios ang kunin e

[Richardson Chan]

i got the 7 seat requirement covered with myG rand Livina. I highly doubt that they would "need" the seating capacity of the Avanza. Is the Vios or Yaris worth adding to the mix?

[dct]

vios and yaris are definitely the safest choice. but for an A/T vios 1.3AT 743k and yaris AT 771k. so it's up you if you want to adjust

Agree ako dito, kung madalas hi-way or no traffic congestion ang route.

Camalaniugan sir.

Camalaniugan sir.

Medyo malayo yan bro. I suggest get the 1.3 Avanza AT reliable and economical.

Agreed also. Better to be safe.

Reliable, pero ang alam ko yung 1.3AT Avanza hindi economical.

Ok na yung Fiesta. Walang problema yan sa highway.

I agree with oliver, since its mostly highway drive its better to settle with a bigger car or SUV. Its more safer with its bulky body and it comes with more safety features compared to the sub compact vehicles.

[Syuryuken]

konti lang sasakyan between tugue and camalaniugan bilang na bilang sa daliri ang malalaking sasakyan mostly mga van lang ang nakikita. no need for SUV dahil patay ka naman pagpasok mo ng tugue sa dami ng traysikel, kitid ng kalsada at trapik.

9-10 kilometers/liter city driving is not bad sa highway baka pumalo pa ng 16 or 17 k/liter yan.

Bakit po ganun sir? Di ba HARI din nagpapatakbo ng hyundai tugue?

[Walter]

Actually, the 3 month PMS is negotiable. You should negotiate before purchasing the vehicle. In provinces, they normally agree to the 6 months PMS just to be able to reach their quota. The memo from HARI is most likely a recommended (and not required) 3 months / 5000 km PMS. Same thing with the mineral vs synthetic recommendation of other car brands.

Amongst the choices, the Fiesta is the most behaved on the highway. If safety and convenience of use are top priorities, the Fiesta is hard to beat.
