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

i find driving an avanza too big for me. subcompact's size are ok but i really prefer the size of microcars.

considering that i'm a beginner driver, i might just get a great FC from fiesta

hehehe...

For your needs, the Mirage should be good enough.

Good to hear!

There is hope for the microcars!

I really prefer driving one for their easy maneuverability in our narrow streets.

i am not sure about those, di na ako nagtingin tingin dati gaano... kaso i love jimnys kasi eh... timing chain pa naman yun... mas ok sa maintenance... but i have seen several 1.4 fiestas, celerios, i10s and the rest... but i dont know if they are ATs...

I looked around our neighborhood last night and I did see some celerios, i10s, picantos and getzs. So I guess an AT mirage will not be a problem. From the insights shared here, first pick would still be mirage (will test drive one once it's already available), followed by vios, fiesta HB, city/jazz.

Thanks for all the advice!

Suzuki Jimny, whether the A/T or manual-tranny are very good. You may opt for the 4x4 at PhP800k.

Goodluck sir.

Malakas sa akyatan? Kahit anong car & brand, check the specs sheet regarding their torque curve, mas mataas na torque sa almost the same rpm, mas mababa na rpm to reach peak torque the better.

gusto ko din sana yung mazda2. kaso nasa 900K na yung price for the 1.5 AT. yung 1.3, puro MT lang yung benta nila dito sa amin...

sir, pwede magpa-elaborate? hindi ko kasi mavivisualize kung paano mo mamonitor yung torque habang nagdadrive ka...
