2018 Best Sedan under 900,000 (with exceptions)

**StockEngine** · July 26th, 2018 08:44 PM

Ranking:

1 Toyota Vios E 1.3L CVT 878,000 (Stability control)
2 Hyundai Accent 1.6L Diesel DCT - 930,000 Facelift is coming! (Stability Control)
3 Ford Fiesta Sports+ 1.0 EB 6Spd, 905,000 (Stability Control) Fully loaded
4 Mazda 2 1.5 V+ 6AT 938,000 (Yojin) - Maintenance is free! (Stability Control) Rear View Camera!
5 Honda City E 1.5L CVT 868,000
6 Suzui Ciaz 1.4 GL AT - 845,000

Completely Avoid:

Chevrolet Sail 865,000

The competition is rather good. I thought Honda was a 2nd but on paper Ford Fiesta, Accent, and Mazda-2 is actually competitive versus the mighty Vios.

Kung ako...
1. City 1.5- IMHO most well rounded package of excellent performance, quality, parts availability, space, lahat na. Plus the engine is used in 4 different models and deemed good enough to spawn a turbo variant.
2. Vios 1.3- best appliance of the lot but with no excitement whatsoever
3. Accent CRDi- lots of power plus excellent fuel efficiency in diesel! DCT has dubious rep and specs are really, really poor nowadays no thanks to HARI
4. Fiesta 1.0- best performance but most likely poorest resale due to Ford badge, also kinda small for me
5. Mazda 2 1.5- great specs with good performance but like the Fiesta, kinda small
6. Suzuki Ciaz 1.4- lots of space, good looks plus competitive pricing, but doesn't particularly excel in any area...

Why naman? I was also thinking of selling mine as we are looking at getting a bigger car but I am more inclined to keep it. Maybe make it a project car or weekend track car.

i'd sell my car if i didn't need it anymore.
it'd just deteriorate, languishing,un-used, and occupying space in the garage.

Recently kasi excessive na naman shuddering and clutch assay daw problema and it is not covered under the extended warranty ng Ford. Only for the other variants. The casa is charging me 90k to replace the clutch assay. Sooner or later baka bumigay na to eh. I don’t really know. Original plan was to make it a project car pero pag ganito nagdadalawang isip na tuloy ako [emoji24]

It will be a surprise for owners to find their small car to have the registration cost of a big car. Sarsi pays 5k a year for LTO registration cost of his Accent CRDi.

Kaya nga di ko sinunod yung notice ng Ford about TCM update. My Fiesta is working fine and I need not risk doing something that may result to something like what others experienced after the TCM update.

Sir StockEngine,

Nice Specs and Competitive price pag dating sa sub-compact sedan under 900K..

No more accessories, more on safety features na..

Hopefully, by the 4th quarter of 2018 and Early 2019, yung mga ibang brand na, will follow na sa ganyan features, more on safety features rather than accessories.

BTW:

Still kahit marami nang safety-features, pero marami pa rin ang irresponsible driving at negligence sa maintenance..
all of the specs will be useless...

yes bro. hopefully filipinos will learn more about cars. I mean aside from reliability. two things need to be considered more of: cost of ownership( specific maintenance costs and long term fuel consumption hindi yun 12kml na sinasabi lng) and safety especially stability control.
