For an 800K budget, what is the most fuel efficient AT that can handle steep slopes?

1.5 G vios is perfect for you. zero knowledge at cars, fuel effecient, durability and maintenance. maganda rin sana ang city, but it exceeds the 800k budget

every car models has its issues, it's just a matter of pros and cons. In an AT car driving habit plays a huge factor, marami nakakakuha ng mababang FC kasi sanay sila sa MT or mabigat ang paa nila and they are asking too much sa isang AT car.

I have a friend who lives in a village where all the streets are inclined. She drives a Celerio AT, it's perfectly fine.

For your needs, the Mirage should be good enough.

^ lahat naman ng mga sasakyan ngayon kaya na umakyat sa mga steep incline, kahit eon na 800cc lang. dont worry about it TS

Hahaha~ Kahit ba naman Kia Pride nakakaakyat ng Baguio eh.

Dami kaya Kia Pride na taxi dun! Its a matter of may hatak ba o kaya gagapang-gapang ka. Kung mag-aapak ka ng gas na hinay hinay lang, o nakabaon na sa sahig.

I prefer brand new for less headaches. Brand new diesels are way out of budget for now... :D

I'll check them out. Currently, Toyota gives out a 50K discount for their Vios G variants. Hopefully these other cars have good promos also...

sir, did you also see some AT microcars like celerios, i10s, picantos or sparks in the streets of baguio?
