2018 Suzuki Celerio CVT or 2015 Subaru XV

[ray_noel]

Hi Bruh, if your concern is fc and maintenance... i would agree that xv is on a high side if we will be comparing it to celerio...

For me, aside from owning a new car...
if i see it to my self that i really have to change a company i would go for it and sell the xv for more cheaper maintenance and better fc...

also, please dont compromise the safety features when choosing a car to replace your xv, after all it’s your wife and your child who will be using it...

Nope, I ain't selling a well built crossover and get back a small car in return unless my finances really can't afford it. A Celerio, no way, not even a Honda City will sway me.

By the way, your XV is not that used. My 2016 FXT has run 36k KM already. Keep that Subie!

Agree on that. It’s actually performing very well and it’s really well built. Really a keeper.

However, I was told by the casa that by 30-40km (don’t remember it correctly) that I have to shell out around 40k for change in timing belt? A bit steep imo.

Thanks bro!

It’s the CVTF change at 40k actual mileage which is going to be expensive but you can have it done outside the casa so that it will be cheaper. It will cost you around 9-10k outside.

Since you are out of warranty already, you can have your PMS done in Subie-dedicated auto shops.

Wow! Is that so? 9-10k is not bad.

If it’s not too much, can you suggest a Subie-dedicated auto shop preferably in the south? Thanks in advance!

You can go to Quickstart Performance in Sucat or Bridgestone Center in Commerce Avenue. Customer Cradle in Alabang-Zapote road also caters to Subie vehicles.

Thanks bro! Actually, your point on the safety side is also one of my key concerns, hence, my hesitation to let go of my XV.

The celerio is not an unsafe car. 4 stars sa ancap vs 5 ng xv. So the xv is safer but the celerio is not unsafe-far from it! Considering the usage, city driving mostly in slow moving traffic, i cannot think of a single scenario where your wife and child would be in life threatening danger in a 4-star car with a defensive driver at the helm...unless reckless driver misis mo o may kalabang reckless, kahit anong safe ng vehicle nakamamatay pa din. The celerio scores perfect sa ancap for side impact. Sa frontal offset, xv is 7.6% better.

Actually, I read all the reviews about the Celerio & I concur that it does have a 4-star rating at ancap which is the reason why I shortlisted it (along with it’s excellent fuel efficiency).

I cannot gauge the driving skills of my wife yet as she’ll just be enrolling in a driving school. She said she used to drive in the province during her teens, but that’s eons ago.

So many scenarios ... Wayward bus, fully loaded truck losing brake, falling posts / trees ...

agree bro. the nature of accident that you could be the safest of drivers and it could still too easily happen to you. so that being said every added layer of protection is welcome too.

I wonder kasama ba sa star rating yung ganitong freak accidents? Also, i wonder how your odds for survival would improve if you were in an xv vs a celerio if suddenly a loaded cement truck happens to tip over and land on top of you. 1%? 2%? Instead of a quick death, gulay na lang?

If that type of logic makes any sense at all ... Most people would be driving Toyota Wigos or Suzuki Celerios ... Sometimes 1-2% margin of error makes a world of difference ... But there's much more than 1-2% difference between the safety of a Subaru XV and a Suzuki Celerio ...

I dont think kasama.
So every mm of added sheet metal on the car helps to at least minimize the risk of this freak accident.
