APV or Nissan A/T Sedan

[mulder]

My wife and I are discussing on what to get. I like the APV M/T because of its size and the engine is 1.6 plus the really big space inside. She wants to get the Nissan A/T with 1.3 engine but all powered. She doesn't like the APV because of its appearance. How can I convince her that in the long run the APV is the better choice.

Also the price nga pala kasi are almost the same. The APV M/T cost 632k less 25k while the nissan A/T 1.3 costs 660k less 40k. Pls. help!

is there a nissan 1.3 AT?

Nissan Sentra GX is 1.3 A/T with power features, po.

Hmmm...I don't really consider looks when choosing a vehicle. Basta huwag lang sobrang panget (e.g. Stavic).

The APV is more practical and is more metal for the money. It has almost double the capacity of a regular car while still retaining compact dimensions. Kung may out of town kayo or gimik, you can take one APV instead of two sedans. Makes for a more pleasant trip. Dati Galant at Lancer kami kung mag-travel. Nung nagka-L300 na, kahit masikip at matalbog, happy naman during the trip kasi magkakasama.

Has she test driven both?

We have an APV as a service vehicle here at the office and ito ngayon yung favorite car when going out on calls since it's spacious (except if you're the driver or front passenger where the wheel well kinda intrudes on your legroom). Putting bigger/wider tires and rims on the APV helps the stance a bit IMO.

Actually Im the one driving naman palagi. Her reasoning is that 3 lang naman daw kami and we don't really need that big a space. And she likes the car kasi nga mas maporma un e. Right now kasi our car is a mazda powervan and Im used to big cars or van na din kasi from experience I don't have to worry if I have to get some big things for moving. Ang akin kasi sa APV kahit 3 lang kami o kahit 6-8 kasya talaga kami sa kotse hindi. Pero I admit walang dating ung APV kasi nakita ko ito sa makati yesterday. Baka pag nabihisan na gaganda. Pero I still want the APV.
