650k max budget. G4, Mirage HB, i10 or Swift 1.2?

He he. It seems that the TS is torn between fantasy and reality. The reality is that a growing family needs bigger seating and cargo capacity. Just imagine your kids lying comfortably asleep as you safely drive. Then imagine them piling on top of the other if there is not enough space.

Sa amin kasi habang baby pa anak ko na nag iisa and for sure matagal tagal pa kami mag plan magka new baby i concider the swift.. I see the swift na makakagamit pa ng panganay ko pag high school na siya and college.. Sabihin natin after 15years e parang useble parin siya. Kasi yung mga multi cab nga na almost 10 to 15years old bininili parin para ipa nasada at company service..

^ mas malaki konti pa rin ang avanza. Ako lagi pa rin ako napapatingin sa Ertiga. Pag namamalengke kami, di ko na sinasamahan si misis. Binabantayan ko na lang si Ertiga sa parking -tingin tingin sa lahat ng angulo . Hehehe.

TS, sa mga choices mo, G4 ang vote ko. Pero sabi nga ng iba, 2 kids + yaya? ( or 1 relative), mag mpv ka na lang. Syempre Ertiga isa suggest ko. Yung GL MT is 712k , pero ang discount is 30k (up to 40k, visit the Ertiga thread). Yun lang kung gusto mo ng AT, GLX ka na, wala na kasi GL AT (swerte ng mga nakakuha).

when i was a new dad, we got a besta van.. wala pang innova noon. we never regretted it.. everything including two kitchen sinks (dalawa baby namin)... this, coming from a sedan owner..
when the kids got big, we sold the besta and got an innova. no regrets pa rin, even now, 10 years later.

Sabi ko kasi 5 to 10years bibili rin kami ng mas malaki.. Like toyota grandia. Sa ngayon compact car muna na posible na mapa gamit ko pa sa anak ko if nag aral na.. Wala sa plan namin mag binta ng car kasi parang may sintemental value..

How about as a second car (our family already has a Sorento)? My old folks (2 retirees) want to buy a small car.

Kung may pera karin naman. Brand new na sir. Matatanda na gagamit. Dapat reliable na car.

**Yatta** · April 6th, 2015 08:50 AM

Oo nga po, so what small car do you recommend?

There's nothing safe about kids lying down inside a moving vehicle. Imagine what happens if ever you are in a pile up with kids lying down.
