Same dilemma here mga sir. I have a limitid budget also and I'm torn between these 3 brands:
Altis 03-06 model
Sentra 04-08 model
Lovelife 01 model
Can you help me also which car will be most efficient lets say for another 3-5 years? Can you tell me how much are these now a days for i can only shell put 220k max. Thanks.
Others say I should go for altis, even the 2003 models as long as well kept. Others say sentra thought mababa resale value the 1.6gsx will give you a decent ride while the lovelife fc is not that ok.
I'm also considering the civic vtec 99-00 model because of it's timeless design and power. Ok din ba to?
the used sentra does have a relatively lower selling price.
that's a plus, if you are a'buyin'.
and since you got it cheap, you shouldn't complain too much that you can't sell it high when the time comes.
btw... TS... is it just possible, that you're simply bored with your gli..?

Not actually. Its just altis seems to be a reliable but nissan is much younger car. Those two things kinda playin in my head now. Pero pag may nkkita ko naman na mga civics at low price I'm kinda tempted also to consider them. Kya lng baka hindi na fit sa long travel. Since lagi ko kasama wide and daighter ko.
Plus they say sentra has an excellent ac. Now I'm really confused. Hahaha![emoji111]🏼️
same situation here. i understand your feeling... i have an old car that i already want to replace. for the new car, i want it to be fuel efficient.
I wanted Altis, kaya lang mahal na siya for my main purpose.
Nasa budget na man Toyota Vios 1.5g, ok na man ang looks. Liit lang problems mo sa maintenance. kaya lang parang mas efficient ang Vios1.3 due to the traffic situation. On my driving route, it's 80-90% traffic. Sunday or holiday lang ang magaan.
I looked at Honda City, perfect ang CVT! but the thought na sa casa ko lang to e maintain scares me. lalo na pag nasira ang transmission.
I was 99% getting the toyota vios 1.3 but ended up buying what i didnt want in the first place - a 7seater family car and no longer have no plans to resell my 2001 honda city. Merun pang makinabang. Run it to the ground i say!
If single ka pa, inggit ako sayu. Ganda ng sedan choices mo! MAZDA for the looks! honda for the class! toyota for the peace of mind.
At the end of the day, I really dint care about the gas consumption or resell value anymore, ang importante happy ka sa decision.

Since ang location nyo po, nasa cebu, kung business purposes naman, sa IT park/Ayala or busay area ang laging appointment.
good choice ang 1.6 engine kung sedan...
kung everyday usage naman lalo pag extreme stop and go traffic, practical wise, 1.3 vios ang best choice..
since cebu, discipline ang majority drivers... kung galing man sa manila at nadadala yung driving style dyan.. hindi na sila ganun ka-ogag mag drive... kahit heavy traffic, bigayan ang mga drivers dyan at marunong gumamit ng signal light....both 2 wheels and 4 wheels..
Since Region 7-8, mas gusto ng mga pick-up, MPV, and SUV pick-up based..
depende po talaga yan sa usage nyo po.. kung practicality wise, kung city driving at laging traffic, mas efficient ang mga sub-compact sedan na 1.3 engine...
kung considered kasi for 1.5, better to get a 1.6 engine + yung body-frame ng sedan type.. kaunti lang po ang difference ng price & yung difference pag dating sa safety features at body frame...
A 1st gen Vios is not a new car. At this point, a reasonably driven unit would have a mileage of 100tkms thereabouts already. It was at around the 10 year mark that our Revo started spouting repairs left and right, most of them are due to wear and tear even though it was a very well maintained unit. What I'm trying to say is that even a well maintained pre-owned unit may cost you quite a bit in terms of repairs if it just so happened that you chanced upon the end of the service life of certain costly parts.
If your AE101 is still in good condition, I suggest you hold on to it for a bit longer and save up for a newer car. If you are a fuel miser, I'd suggest the Hyundai Accent. Nothing in its class beats it in terms of total fuel cost. A real pocket rocket too, if the way Accent cabbies drive is any indication.
Lahat naman ng Altis at Vios may VVTi engine na.
Mas matipid ang Vios kaysa Altis, but the Altis is bigger, more comfortable, and has more features. Same lang halos ang presyo nila sa secondhand market.
Kung Vios nasa 9 km/L yung Altis nasa 8 km/L. Hindi naman sobrang layo ng consumption especially kung Nova to Lagro lang pala.

Last na tanong na lang mga sirs paano ko malalaman na ok ang papeles ng kotse at hindi carnap? Basehan ba ang bagong rehistro? Thanks po.
Most likely tampered odometer. I wouldn't sell my 2008 Altis for just 300k if it only travelled 60T km.
But that's okay, as long as the car is in good condition, though it's quite unlikely considering the owner bothered to rewind the odometer. Mabuti nang high mileage na fresh kaysa "low mileage" na laspag. Just check the car thoroughly to be sure.

Medyo mataas naman ng sobra ang 150tkms for a 2008 vehicle... Ang 2001 Revo namin approaching 130tkms palang. If it is in good condition and has, say, 70-80tkms maybe I'd bite.
However it is not impossible to find a diamond in the rough. Our church pastor sold his 2008 Everest recently, and it only had 20tkms on the clock, legit!
Just bring a trusted mechanic with you to check the car.
