I really like the Fiesta. But i dont think it's gonna be easy to maintain with all the tech and goodies it has.

Well as Jeremy Clarkson said himself..

If you are worried something might break you could always buy a basic model with no equipment at all so there is nothing that couldl go wrong. But do you really want that one, really, honestly a basic model? Cause I bet that's also $** (audio cut-off)...

^ that's why get a jimny, it's crude, it's basic, it's light and it gets you anywhere even where big SUVs and luxury cars can't

but the thing is not too many can endure cars like these anymore bec. they are just so used to being pampered.

Let's see if his wife would even want to have a Jimny.

its not a surprice gift, she only want a car no specific model nor brand. SUV is ok...actually very ok but i prefer a car for her which is easy to use, good FC and less head ache(maintenance). Because, she will use the car most of the time. im not thinking of after sale value, if masikipan na kami sa small car e pwede naman bumili uli ng mas malaki diba

Looks like, majority on this thread are voting for the fiesta. Wala bang may gusto ng new city? Well, ahead din sa akin ang fiesta because of its looks inside and out. Actually, 1st time ko pa lang makita yung fiesta as cargo namin to europe e n-love at 1st sight ako, same happen when i saw my wife

jazz helios, mukhang ok nga din sya. I will just wait for the feedback sa magkakaron ng fiesta. i hope it will prove good things, because im looking forward to it. But if not, i will stick to the most proven and tested unit. Beside, feb next year pa naman uwi ko so i still have time to monitor the fiesta and the rest. Sabi nga nila "Patience is the virtue"

thanks for the input mga k-tsikot

When you get home, do a test drive its the best thing you can do for yourself. And to be honest wag mo na sya i-surprise... Bring her with you so she can see the cars in question and test drive it as well... Its a lot of money afterall and its not worth it if surprise nga pero mali naman nabili mo...

most of the girls i know love the jimny... my wife being the number 1 "fan"... it will be my next car purchase... of course, for my wife

but fiesta looks so promising... and the hatch looks so good... but if i were to buy the fiesta, it would be because of the transmission...

When you buy mechanical and electronic items for women, it does not make much difference if you surprise them or not. But when you buy vanity items, like bags, perfume or jewelry, they will appreciate the surprise.

i would have said +1 but that is a blatant understatement...

+1,000,000

The 4-speed auto is more than adequate for city driving, the fiesta is probably going be even more economical with its DCT.

the mazda2 could really use some more oomph from its engine, though. The sedan takes quite some time to reach 100... but the MZR does make a racket when it revs

Timed it. Pretty quick, all things considered, around 10.3 seconds to 100 km/h. (obviously early 90's 1.6s are faster... they had the same weight and more torque) Yes... I love the sound. I'm not quite sure about the DCT... it's a heavy box in a heavy car... but again, only time will tell.

Suzuki Celerio? Spend the other 250k worth of budget on a 1 carat diamond ring, hang it from the keychain and wait for her to notice it...
