Please help me buy my first vehicle

[Gobilamoka]

So I have a 4 month old daughter so I need to get a vehicle pang service namin. My wife is from batanggas so byabyahe kame dun at least once a month. Here are criterias:

Ps. I am a total car newb. Dont even know how to drive properly yet.

1. Mataas, at least hugher than sedans. May isang part kasi papunta sa bahay sa batanggas na rough road and malubak konti.

2. Matic. Evetually tuturuan si wife nag drive

3. Bank financing so price to not exceed 1.1m

4. Good fuel consumption?

Current choice is the asx kasi may 100k discount daw.
Any inputs po would be appreciated

The Ecosport is the cheapest car that fits your needs. I'm just not a fan of its transmission which is jerky in traffic and has questionable long-term durability.

The Juke is another cheap option to consider, though it's also cramped inside like the Ecosport.

The upcoming Honda BRV seems to fit your needs quite well and is only 980k.

Personally I'd go with the ASX but it's quite thirsty at the pump. I was only able to get 6.5 km/L in city driving and 12 km/L in highway driving. I don't mind though because it's much more powerful than the Juke/Ecosport/BRV.

To be honest, si asx di ko pa nakikita sa loob, haha

Eco sport though, napasok ko na and nasisikipan ako (im bigger than your average pinoy, and on the heavy side)

Diesel or Gas?

[jaypee10]

innova kana lang bro pang matagalan..

Nakakahiya man but I really dont know the difference nun 2 except for mas mura ang diesel hehehe

Is your budget strictly limited to 1.1M? The Innova 2.8E is 1.2M but is a bigger, more efficient car compared to all others in its price range. It has a diesel engine that's powerful but also thrifty.

Most gas-fed cars cost more to run because of the higher fuel cost of gasoline vs diesel.

1.222 I think, not sure kung may discount pa. Considering this too, but kung ito, kelangan pa mag ipon pandagdag ng down. I dont want/cant afford to pay more than 16k monthly

[eryxon]

Toyota Avanza 1.6 A/T less than 1M small so easy to drive for newbies. Matipid sa gas at very reliable. Rear wheel drive kaya mas malakas sa akyatan. Mataas din kaya pwede sa lubak at subok ko na kahit gravel and muddy road. Madaling i-park sa mga mall kasi nga maliit sya at maliit lang ang turning radius.

It's worth it to save up more for the Innova since it's a more practical car. Downpayment of 480k (40%) so that you can keep your monthly payments under 16k/month.

On the other hand, the Ecosport Trend is only 885k and already has all the basic things a first-time car buyer needs, except generous space. However, since you only have one daughter, it shouldn't be much of an issue. You can get one for roughly 180k DP and 15k/month amortization.

Eco sport vs the asx sa space and storage?

Asx is almost 1m lang dahil sa 100k discount.

ASX, definitely. The ASX is wider, which is good for bigger guys like you. Space in the back is still quite small compared to sedans like the Altis and Civic, but bigger than the Ecosport.

Avanza g a/t is 930k din kasi. The E model naman walang ABS po

The only reason naman kasi i chose/considering asx is

Price, after discount its only a little over 1m.
For a subcompact suv, mura na siya, with abs
Hindi mahaba so I dont think first time driver like me ay mahihirapan
And looks, medyo suv-ish na talaga tignan

Other models like the tucson kasi mahal na and mataas daw maintenance

Being rear wheel drive has nothing to do with "lakas sa akyatan". The Avanza is certainly no match compared to a 2.0 ASX or an Innova.

The points on ground clearance and tight turning radius are true, but the Ecosport also has those traits.

Well if you like the ASX, then go for it. [emoji1303]

Always buy something that will maximize your happiness. No use settling for a different car even if it's cheaper or more practical if you're not happy with it.

As you very well have noticed, my car knowledge is next to 0. Kung computers lang yan, networking or programming palag palag pa eh hahaha.

Sa ngayon medyo kinakabahan pako kasi no matter sino tanungin ko, pag hindi toyota, lagi sabi "mahal maintenance niyan"

The only downside of the ASX is that it's not fuel efficient. We have one in the family and it's a pretty decent car. Maintenance is higher than, say, a Vios, but it's just the same as with all other CUVs.
