    I need your advice guys. Planning to sell my crossover. Ano yung car na nag range ng 800-900k na mataas ground clearance. For everyday use sa work, mall and church. Im an engineer. Yung pwede magamit sa pag inspect sa site. Im looking for a car na madali i drive. Yung kita sa harap. Walang blind spots. Im a lady driver and petite. Yung madali lang sana i drive since im not a good driver. Hindi po ako mahilig mag drive. Yung isa sa pinapagpilian ko is Jimny or avanza. Baka may maisuggest pa po kayo ibang car. Thank you.

    If you drive mostly alone, try the jimny. My wife loves it - 4x4, high ground clearance, almost no blind spot with huge glass windows, and you can see the entire hood. It is very easy to maneuver in tight parking spots. The downside, it is a 2 door suv and the rear seats are for kids.

    the "sites" that you visit need a 4x4?

    avanza is RWD. i'm not sure how it behaves in gravelly or muddy conditions. an unweighted rear might lose traction in these conditions

    the current ecosport is viable only in M/T flavor. the "A/T" (dct) is known to be problematic

    you really need to check out the new Suzuki Vitara

    Have you looked at the new Suzuki Vitara? The GL+ trim is slightly over 900k, but it seems to tick most of your boxes. Not 4x4 though.

    Why not just keep the existing crossover?

    The All-New Vitara seems to be a bang for the buck

    new drivers will always adapt. ill give you a sharp calculator and im sure you will disavow that fake casio calculator - engr.

    work arounds for visibility:
    higher seat position
    blindspot mirror-attachments
    reverse camera
    lighter tints around..

    if you do go offroad.. youll need ground clearance and 4x4 traction.

    i would get a 2nd hand 4x4 fortuner/montero sport and have it rehabilitated by zix perfomance...

    Considering the requirements esp. the budget,
    My vote goes to the Jimny as well.
    I think at 900k naka set-up kana neto for off road.

    Recently went to the Suzuki dealership in Las Pinas looking at the 2017 Jimny.
    The Jimny fits all my needs of driving in the province, ground clearance, maneuverability in the city, no blind spots, KM/L and good selling price.
    I am holding out until late 2018; reports from Japan state there will be an optional turbo diesel offered.

    strict euro6 diesel engines will not work with our euro4 fuel.

    I advice on upping your game to a million or reduce it. 800k-900k ang pinakanaapektuhan sa car prices for middle class families. If you want to save a little, buy now. Some car brands like Suzuki have retain their price for a bit, particularly Hyundai giving discounts from 50k-200k (except for their Creta & Veloster ata) until the end of January.

    Sadly for Toyota, Mitsu, Subaru, etc for increasing their price already (Well, sa Toyota lang to pero matagal naman na nilang balak yan, kung tumingin ka ng Nov-Dec hindi ka na makakabili with different reasons for every person, pero mostly out of stuck duon sa variant na gusto mo)

    ganito sabi mo girl na petite ka..... so malapit yung upuan sa manibela.

    ang pinakamaganda mo bilhin eh jazz yung entry level matic. Napakadali manenuhin... lagyan mo na lang ng unan sa pwet para angat ka na.

    wag yang avanza.... hindi ko maexplain kung paano ko sasabhin pero ill put it this way. The vios is the angels burger ng mga kotse eh avanza naman is the bentelog.... scratch mo na yan... below the poverty line yan...

    jimny for its engine displacement eh takaw gas at magaspang yan not comfortable.

    have some flare girl.... go for the jazz..

    kung ganyan kagrabe dadaungin meron naman siguro provided na pickup companya ni ladypetite.

    kaya jazz inadvise ko kasi work, mall and church.... yung inspect ng site hindi araw-araw yan....

    at kahit yung bentelog avanza eh sira din suspesion sa lubak-lubak bundok tawid-ilog.

    si jimny masyado uncomfortable magaspang for everyday use kay ladypetite.

    honda city sana iadvise ko kaso sabi nya petite sya so jazz mas maiksi madali idrive.

    Have you seen the ecosport? It sounds like a good choice although the aftersales service is so-so and the fwd layout is a bit of a letdown.
