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

[Walter]

hmmm. . .imagination is fantasy. . .my 2 kids falling asleep lying down while I'm driving is reality. . .

That's being irresponsible.

[jcal68]

That's being irresponsible.

Hmm. . .We all know that jeepneys have poor safety standards yet I let my family ride on it and so does the majority of the Filipinos.
We also know that almost everyday somebody riding a motorcycle meets an accident and yet many still patronize it.
And many more. . .

That is reality.
And I don't brand them irresponsible. . .

It's alright sir philsat.i have the same sentiments before.but in the year 2000 my co.issued to me a nissan sentra.at first wala akong katiwa tiwala sa nissan.but after using it all my mindset about the brand changed.since then i drove nissan cars and never looked back.i just bought a new one recently.love it's simple build and price.best of all is the a/c.

Hope sir you would give it a short visit so you can see for yourself sir.

Malay nyo po baka ma realize din ninyo yun good points nang nissan po. [emoji4]

[SkyFlakes88]

Btw sir philsat,the old nissan i was using is still with me.it only failed me once.naputol yun accelerator cable sa exit nang makati flyover. Madami na kaming pinagsamahan kaya binili ko na sya from the co.years ago.and Still the a/c is ice cold. The odo reading is 267,787.00kms and it's still the original engine.not yet overhauled. [emoji4]

LOL

Enjoy the Civic sir :D

That's good. You will definitely take care of your car.

That was also my plan. Five years ago I took great care of my Honda Civic FD which I plan to pass on to my son who also will be at driving age in 5 years.
True enough, he learned to drive using the Civic.
I got a new M3.
He liked the M3.
I'm back driving the Civic. . .hu hu hu. . .

Akala ko 71, 2 sa harap at ___ sa likod

I remember our "kuba" 1302. Had great time with it through out college. Kahit baha hindi ako tumirik. Madali pa i-maintain. At dito nagsimula ang joke na kasya ang 72 sa loob.

You got it bro. I did not put 71 intentionally. Kaso you are a natural.

Anu na kaya nabili ni TS?

By the way same tayo ng sentiments TS..I'm looking for a car right now. And I am eyeing on Mirage G4 and Kia Rio. Budget is 600K-700K. Halos same ng specs pero ang laki ng price difference at looks. Sa looks gusto ko ang Rio..machong-macho ang dating.

Nung una ok na ok ung Ertiga nung makita ko kaso mejo nadisappoint ako kasi ang laki niya tapos front wheel drive. Ganun din ung Spin. Na-inlove pa nga ako sa spin kasi kako sa sarili ko parang Innova 7-seater pero maliit parang Avanza. Madali isalaksak sa trapik! Ahehe! Pero nung malaman kong front-wheel drive din.. aaaaww!!

Panu na lang pag puno at akyatan?? Let's say Baguio with the whole family?? Puno ung 7 seats plus mga gamit.. wala..gapang na?? Bakit kasi ginawang front-wheel drive ang MPV eh which is hindi naman dapat dahil sa weight na dadalahin nito.

Going back to Ertiga, ung loob pa dumihin. Eh kahit di mo gustong madumihan ung interior o kahit na anung ingat naten na di magdumi madudumihan at madudumihan eh.. minsan di maiiwasang ung swelas ng sapatos sasabit sa lower door trims/siding. haaayst... Napakahirap pa namang linisin ng mantsa nun. Same with the side panels.. alam mo naman ang mga bata di naman aware mga yan kung marumi kamay nila o hindi. Pero sa features gusto ko siya.

Mas ok pa rin ang Innova..just my 2 cents. Rear wheel drive at black interior with almost same features. Un nga lang ang layo ng presyo. Kaya khit gusto diko mabili. ahehe!

By the way meron na bang thread dito about sa comparison ng Mirage G4 at Kia Rio?

Tsaka nga pala narelease na ba ang market price ng Mazda 2 na bago (Demio)?

All new Mazda 2:
Skyactiv S sedan - 795k
Skyactiv V hatch - 855k
Skyactiv V sedan - 865k
Skyactiv R sedan - 925k

Maiiyak ka sir kapipili (which is good), subcompact ata ang pinakamahirap na segment pumili ng tsikot.

Sa ganyang presyo match na match sila ng Honda City.

May Yojin3 pa sa Mazda: free PMS parts and labor for 3 years :naughty2:

[dos2]

I'll be in a neutral position:
If you are open to technology (skyactive) and since 1.5 naman engine nito, tingin ko ok naman ang presyo ng Mz2. Bonus pa na ang lakas talaga ng dating ng Mazda design at may Yojin3 ka naman.
Pero oo, grabe na presyo ng subcompacts. Parang yung next wave ng designs (3-5 years) lalagpas na sa 1M ang mga TOTL.

[philsat]

Piliin mo yung car na bagay sa personality mo at use mo... Yan siguro ang first formula.. 2nd na yung price, engine, support. etc.

I visited the Kia Rio segment and learned from Tsikoteers of the Rio's poor FC. Sayang. Pogi pa naman yung Rio HB.

Gusto ko din angas ng Rio dati, kaso grabe nga ang FC lalo na yung Rio5 (hatch with 1.4 L engine) 5km/L sa City tapos pahirapan daw maka double digit sa hiway. Less problem pa nga daw yung 1.2 engine.

Ganda nga nung Rio HB, lalo na yung red color, tapos bling pa yung stock 17" mags. Pero kung malakas sa gas tapos bitin sa hatak, medyo short-changed ka nga. On second thought, makahanap nga ng nagbebenta ng mags ng Rio HB, mukhang babagay sa Fiesta Ecoboost ko yung ganung style na mags.

[kimot]

if you're looking for leg room and trunk space, remove swift from your list sir.

[jcal68]

hmm. . .kung binata ako, working my way up, at may GF, I would probably choose the sportiest from the above choices.
I would go for the Swift HB or Mirage HB in close second.

hmm. . .maybe even demand gasoline allowance from my GF. . .

[JohnM]

IMHO the Mirage is far from sporty
