Magkano ba pakabit ng abs outside of casa?

Di napapakabit yan. Kahit pa sa casa

That is worth 100K then.

bakit nawawala yatang Chevy Spark sa sirkulasyon?

[comshock25]

bakit nawawala yatang Chevy Spark sa sirkulasyon?

I checked out the Spark. Ok ang design. Mas nagandahan pa ko sa exterior compared sa Mirage. Ang deal breaker is wala syang ABS and driver side lang ang air bags. Not sure din kung high tensile steel yung passenger frame.

Aside sa looks which is subjective, Wala na akong makitang advantage ng spark, picanto at celerio over mirage at wigo. Mas mahal pa price

Tried the swift 1.2 in San Pablo, Laguna. I saw the interior is as plain as can be compared to Mirage GLS, but driving dynamics is spot on and agility is awesome. Swift 1.2's 4 cylinders compared with 3 cylinders is a good argument also. Exterior design looks great from it's stance which is a tad higher for most cars in this class, humps won't be much of a concern. Overall, at a price difference of 25k compared with a GLS mirage. This is an excellent alternative. Mirage though would be fetching a higher resale value say after 5 years.

^mababa ba talaga ang re-sale value ng swift? may nakita kasi akong 2005-06 model sa olx couple of months back (before they messed up the site) nasa 300-350k pa ang presyo. i mean it's not SIR resale value but i think OK naman ang 300k resale price sa 10 year old car.

[chronicle]

2009 models seems to fetch 300k++. So i dont think hindi ganon Kababa ang resale value nang swift.

On the other hand, yung celerio at alto ang mababa resale. Plus suzuki is not on top of peoples choice list when hunting for second hand cars wjich adds to the notion na suzuki as a whole ay mababa ang resale value.

[ninjababez]

ah kasi mura naman yung alto talaga, i thought mabenta yung celerio

I dont know about you guys, but in my search for a micro car for daily drive, I ended up getting a Honda Brio 1.3 S A/T (649,000 - discounts)

Quoting the prices list on the previous posts:
Mirage GLS 1.2G CVT - 673,000
Mirage GLX 1.2G CVT - 573,000
Chevy Spark 1.0 LS A/T - 598,000

Based on the above prices, I can say that the Brio S is even cheaper than the TOTL Mirage, no compromises on safety (has ABS, dual airbags), and has more power to boot (4 cyl, 1.3 engine on a 5-speed AT). AND SURPRISINGLY good fuel consumption (I register 20.8kpl on SLEX at 85kph, about 10-11kpl on city drives). You will have to get inside and see for yourself the "man maximum, machine minimum" matra that the brio was built upon. Even passenger legroom is adequate. The only gripe i have for my brio is the puny boot space. I can live without Mirage's bells and whistles (touch start, touchscreen HU, mags, foglights).

I think a lot of people prematurely judged brio as overpriced.

P.S. The TOTL Brio V though is indeed OVERPRICED as it is dangerously close to vios E

I think we have to compare the BRIO TOTL vs the Mirage TOTL, to

saying that..its the Brio's TOTL pegged at 729k vs. the Mirage's 673k, thats about 60k right there, factor in the discounts, the most you'll get from Honda is about 15k and from Mitsubishi is about 55k ( the family just bought a strada and we managed to ask )... so the price difference gets wider.

The Brio's 1.3 engine really is a pocket rocket....and manages to return a decent FC.

People who buy these "micro" cars buy them to save money, money at the gas pumps and money in terms of purchase... most people at this price point tend to think at the bottom line when the purchase price has a difference of 20-30k, at 60k to 85k difference, thats a deal breaker for some... for a 5 year loan thats about 1,200-1,500 php a month, and for salaried family man, that's a lot. And to think the TOTL mirage has more bells and whistle's thats just more gravy. And to think that the warranty for the Mirage is 5 years, as long as most people are going to pay for it, well the gravy train just kept coming.

Dont get me wrong the BRIO is a good car, It's just that HONDA forgot that the target market was the less affluent crowd...

peace out bruh.

ito pa din kaya price ng g4 today? may pagbabago ba price nya or hatchback price ito ng mirage?

[chyll2]

OT: you cant really compare Mitsubishi by SRP, I checked the price last week of G4 and sold myself to just focus on getting the vios but when I checked the online listing of some SA, 55k is the standard discount for their lineup and with some promo (just like now), some models can easily get 70k discount.

[pansitcanton]

any feedback sa grand i10 na 1.0? wala ako makitang reviews sa model na ito. pero mas malaki legroom kesa sa wigo and mirage.

[chronicle]

Di ata mabenta yung grand i10 dahil bare masyado yung entry level as opposed to sa mga ka price range nya. Yung totl naman, medyo overpriced na at masyado nang malapit sa yaris

[pansitcanton]

yun nga din iniisip ko. mahal yung entry level at sobrang bare pa. ano kaya puwede sa same price range na malaki yung legroom lalo na sa back seat.
