2014 models : vios 1.3 e at / yaris 1.3 e at / city 1.5 e at / fiesta trend 1.5 at

Don't expect a zippy drive with such choices, however power will be adequate for the City 1.5L and Fiesta 1.5L. The Vios and City offers ample interior space. The Fiesta (in HB form) offers the best handling, if you're after a more engaging drive. I find the new Fords to have a solid build, unlike the old Mazda-based Ford Lynx. PMS will be about the same, as most synthetic oils and other consumable parts (filters, etc.) are priced the same with most casas. Parts and services will be a different story.

I'd go with the City among the choices, but if you want a more athletic subcompact, go with Fiesta or Mazda2.

Considering 97 model na civic, mataas na ang maintenance cost nito. Pro for a brand new car, tingin ko 1st 10 years wala pa masyado maintenance ito.

This CVT issue with Honda was with the old IDSI City and Jazz. That didn't stop people from buying the 2003-2008 Jazz/City IDSI. The 2014 City and Jazz has a new CVT on it. How reliable it is we will find out within the next 2-3 years. A lot of the new automatics now come with CVT. Like with Ford and its Powershift DCT, there are some who experienced issues with it but you can still see a lot of Fiesta/Focus on the streets.

Hi guys,

Need your help.
Pls help me decide which car should I buy.
I'm looking for a car with power, large space, stylish and low maintenance cost.


Sam

Power : City/Fiesta
Large Space: City
Stylish: City, Yaris
Low Maintenance Cost: Vios/Yaris

Why not buy an Altis na? you get the power, the large space, the style and the maintenance costs.

^^^ a better idea to include the compacts in the options list but most compacts with an AT tranny are priced 100k more than the options listed. The only compacts with an AT tranny below 900k are the Lancer EX GLX and Elantra GL.

[gargoyle30]

I am looking for a car price < 800k. 2014 low-end altis cost * around 832k.

If I were to include ford ecosport, would you guys also recommend this?

I'd recommend the 825k 1.5 Trend MT. The dual-clutch automatic is just too risky a proposition for me.

EDIT: read about the DCT issues of Ford. Looks like it's not as bad as people think. Makabasa lang na may ilang nagkaproblema, cross out na kagad. If you read in detail, some earlier Fiestas encountered TCM failure after a few years of ownership.

No such news for the newer Fiesta Ecoboost or the EcoSport.

If you're not after quick performance, the Ecosport is more versatile than your other choices and the increased ride height could be useful for you.

Ford Ecosport already exceeded my budget

Base unit ng ecosport? 775,000 yata yun.

City or vios for me. May power nga ang fiesta, pangit naman ng transmission kaya hindi rin makasprint agad if needed

Sure ka bro hindi maka-sprint? The Fiesta 1.5 does 0-100 in 11-12 sec. That's quicker than Vios.

And with the 1.0 Ecoboost Powershift, 0-100 is only around 9 seconds. That's faster than most 2.0 sedans.

I own a 2009 Honda City. Maintenance costs around 3,700 to 4,000 pesos every 10,000 kms. Casa maintained and I use Honda synthetic oil. I used to have a 2006 Avanza, also casa maintained with Toyota synthetic oil. 10,000 km service interval. Cost is also 3,000 to 4,000 pesos. So while your car is under warranty and casa maintained, cost is about the same. If you have it serviced outside, then Toyota parts will be less expensive.

Hi, which dealer allows you the 10,000kms PMS for Toyota? our Altis, RAV4 and Vios are always scheduled every 5,000kms even when we top up using a fully synthetic oil. We have our cars serviced at Toyota C5, Cubao and Marikina.

I do my Altis and Rav4 PMS every 10k with the dealer. ok lang naman sa kanila.

Yes bro with the a/t. Mataas na rpm at maingay na engine pero dahan dahan pa lang ipinapasa sa wheels yung speed.

Iba sa ecoboost. Mas malakas engine kaya disregard mo sinabi ko pag ecoboost

The Ecoboost uses the same transmission as the 1.5. 0-100 times of the Powershift Ecoboost are actually as good as the manual Ecoboost.

I've driven the 1.6 and 1.0 Ecoboost Fiesta and their DCTs don't slip. Dry clutch DCTs transfer the power to the wheels immediately (hence the roughness at low speeds).

Hey mga sir, I am thinking of getting a 2nd hand Ford Fiesta 2014 AT, any thoughts sa mga current and previous owners sa maintenance or DCT thing issue? sorry I am a noob here and I can't start a new trend yet.

BTW I choose Fiesta only because the resale among the latest model esp 2014 is cheap, I only have a 400-450k budget. Any thoughts from you guys will help.

Anong trim ng Fiesta? The newer Fiestas come with either the 1.5L NA engine or the 1.0L turbo (Ecoboost) engine. If you are getting the Ecoboost model, then you got yourself a fun-to-drive and zippy daily go-kart.

With regards to tranny issues, the most number of impacted Fiestas are those made between 2011 and 2012 (based on a survey we did at FCP). The newer Fiestas (with the Aston Martin-looking grill) has an updated tranny control module. However, the Fiesta with its DCT is not to be compared to the ordinary AT or CVT of other cars. You have to learn to deal in modulating gas input or else suffer the clunkiness like how an MT tranny clunks out on you with improper gas input. The Ecoboost model with its bigger torque deals better with the clunkiness of the dual-clutch tranny. DCT does shift faster and once you get into 3rd gear, it gets better and smoother.
