Below 1m Family Car Budget: Honda Mobilio 1.5 V CVT vs. Honda BRV-S CVT vs. Isuzu 2017 Crosswind XT Black Series

[mda]

Noted boss. Salamat!

Kahit pasok sa budget si Innova 2.0E Gas M/T, hindi ko pinapansin kasi sobrang kawawa nya sa features, yun ang tingin ko.

Toys and features are really secondary if your primary goal is low maintenance and durability for a 10 year life with you. If you're willing to consider a crosswind, why not the E variant innova?

brv fits the bill. just do the every 2yr cvt fluid change. itll last just fine. of course wear and tear items like shocks and bushings..

I would suggest at 2nd hand diesel innova as well. Mga 3yrd old nga. Basta be patient sa paghahanap makakakita ka ng maayos pa na 2nd hand dyan sa Manila.

It is the perfect vehicle for all your requirements imho. Tatagal pa ng husto at mura maintenance parts wise and labor-wise kasi dami marunong magrepair niyan at madami piyesa both orig, oem replacement at mga mumurahin. Hehe

I didn't even intend it to be a 'bash'.

Every car may plus and minus, and that happens to be one of its minuses.

[Walter]

Fanboys will consider anything negative you say about their choice of vehicle as bashing ...

hindi pa siguro.
sunud-sunod ang holidays, e.

errr... what about an innova diesel? it's been suggested previously.
brand new or used.
in my experience with mine, it's very well built. no real issues, even after 12 years and 120K km.

Probably, last week ng November kami bibili. Ayun, we're really considering now th BR-V for the budget. Tapos, dahil po sa suggestion nyo, ayun tinitingnan na din namin kung kaya pa i-stretch ang bidget for Innova J Diesel. Problem for Innova J is manual yan, medyo hesitant na kami kumuha ng manual sa metro manila traffic condition. At shenpre nga medyo mataas na din around 60k din ang price difference nila.

Ayun, so far, Innova J Diesel vs. BR-V S. Out na po talaga ang 2nd hand. Hehe

Kung mananalo lang sana ako sa lotto, hindi ko na proproblemahin eto e. Hehe

Hahaha. Tama kayo, Dr. D. Sakit nga sa ulo. Pero all your comments are deeply appreciated. Maraming salamat.

Kung meron pa kayong suggestions or inputs, feel free po to pitch in.

Hahaha. Sorry po, Been busy this week and I dont have time to reply. But I'm closely following the thread.

I really appreciate lahat ng inputs nyo Sir. At ayun nga, sobrang masakit na ulo dahil mahirap pala pumili ng sasakyan kapag limited ang budget.

Do you need an AT? Cuz the Innova J fits your budget and has everything you need. Only downside (if you would call it that) is that it only comes in manual.

Actually hindi naman. It's nice to drive an AT with our current situation. Pero hindi naman talaga. We're scheduled for a test drive this Sunday. Try namin both innova and br-v. 😁

Guys, I really need your advice and inputs. So we're still looking for our first brand new family car. We are a family of 7 (pero mostly 4 or 5 lang ang sakay), around 5'8" ang height and planning to buy an entry level family car, at least 7-seater. We are initially considering Avanza but we decided to take it out of the picture because of its looks and features. (Also considered the advices of some of the guys here).

Now, we are cureently choosing between the three: Mobilio, BRV, or Crosswind XT. What we like about the Mobilio is its looks and I think it has a pretty nice specs for its price. My problem is its height, medyo mababa sya. Kaya pumasok si BRV sa options. Then, for the Crosswind, my sister wants the crosswind for several reasons, ground clearance, can seat 10 people (we really want an Innova pero di kaya sa budget), and diesel engine. What I dont like about it is that it's an old model, which lacks safety features among others. So tell me, is my dislike for the crosswind valid?

Help us decide which car would best suit us. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: The goal also is to have a car that would probable serve us at least 10 years. This is another reason why I dislike the crosswind. (I am thinking that because it's an old model, sobrang maluluma na sya, unlike the mobilio or brv)

PS: Hirap pala pumili ng sasakyan. Litong-lito na ako. hehe

Sir erebus,

Good choice ang 3 vehicles, 2 advanced features, 1 old school pero very reliable.

Mobilio,

Since eto yung na drive ko, never ko pa na-drive ang BRV, ok naman ang performance, mabilis ang response, then kahit i-floor ang throttle from N, i will limit to 4K RPM, then pag binaba sa D, 2 seconds delay at sisibat agad..

ang pinaka-weird sa Mobilo, yung shift knob, walang light illumination pag ginamit ito sa night-driving..

kung sa space naman, ang sacrifice lang talaga yung legroom dun sa middle seat, lalo kung matangkad ng nagmamaneho.. tapos matangkad pa ang sasakay...

Crosswind,

Hindi lang ito tatagal ng 10yrs, yung iba earlier model bago mag-crosswind (highlander) lagpas 20yrs na.. at tumatakbo pa rin sa kalsada..


Ang pro and cons lang naman sa dalawa,

mas advanced ang 2 model, mas maraming safety features, pero mas matindi ang maintenance cost, dahil drive-by-wire na..
unlike sa old-school, mechanical type, less complicated pag dating sa maintenance, pero, yung safety features lang talaga ang lack dito...

If ever less than 1M ang budget,

Pwede naman mag-scout for 2nd hand PPV SUV..

at least 2-3yrs late model (2014-2015 or next year, 2015-2016)

Pwede sa mga repossessed banks or loan agency, pero ang risk lang dun, as-is-where-is.
or dun sa family, relative or even friend at kakilala na merong maalaga sa sasakyan, much better..

lalo kung pa-migrate sa ibang bansa at less than a month pa lang ito nabili..

wow! how often do you do this sir? doesn't this damage the transmission in the long run? no problems so far?
