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

[erebus]

Ok! after weeks of weighing the pros and cons of getting a BRV-S or an Innova 2.8J. we decided to get the BRV.

Reasons:
1) automatic versus manual, I really prefer to drive an A/T car. Innova A/T Dsl or gas variants would really stretch our budget.
2) Size. I am concerned that I might have a hard time driving a bigger car in our area. Medyo masikip ang iskinita sa lugar namin.
3) Although we're looking for a family car, we rarely go for an out of town trip, so utmost, 3-4 passengers at a time lang ang laman ng sasakyan. Also, bihira lang ako at yung brother ko na umuwi ng Pinas, so bihira talaga mapupuno yung sasakyan.
4. Porma. Medyo weird daw na kapag ako ang gagamit ng sasakyan ay family car ang dala ko. Hehe
5. Price difference

Ayun, pero nahirapan talaga ako sa pagpili sa dalawa. Kasi nga natatagtagan ako sa BRV, pero sabi naman ng cousin ko na BRV owner din, di naman daw matagtag. Agree din ako sa inyo na mas comfortable ang Innova compared sa BRV. At kung may budget lang talaga, Innova ang kukunin namin.

Oh well! maraming salamat po sa pagtulong nyo sa amin. Madami akong natutunan sa inyo! Yoi guys, rock!

I choose the Ertiga GL 1.4, which was not in my top3 choices 🤣. The main reason was the price/budget, 2nd was the use. I needed a car suitable for daily use of 1-3pax, comfy ride, good fc,can fit 3adults+3kids for out of town trips. My top option innova was too big for me for daily city driving. 2nd option brv was my original choice, 3rd option avanza was ok too but I settled for the wild card,Ertiga. The price was incomparable for its features:778k-30k (cash dscount)=748k; w/ medium black tint,seatcover,3yrLTO,backing sensor,rain vsor. The 250k diff from BRV is huge. Its ride is better than the avanza. The FC is better than brv&avanza. Its a good practical choice. 🤓👌👍

Naku, ano po ang 91ron? newbie pa lang po ako. Hehe

Naghahanap po ako ng feedback tungkol sa aftersale service ng mga Honda casa around Manila. Ang nakita ko lang ay old thread dito sa tsikot circa 2006. Pangit pa din ba ang aftersale service ng Honda? All this time akala ko maayos ang service nila.

Kukunin namin yung unit from Honda Otis, binigyan kami ng SA ng 15,000 discount plus free full windshield tint, rustproofing, at iba pang standard freebies. Pero based sa nabasa ko dito sa tsikot, mukhang notorious ang Honda Manila sa bad service. Ganun pa din ba sila hanggang ngayon?

Hi. I need help. Planning to buy before the year ends.

I'm looking for a car big enough for me to be able to pass through flooded streets, but not as big as the SUVs (i'm definitely not an expert when it comes to parking). I drive within metro manila on weekdays, and go to the province every weekend.

Right now, these are my options -- Mobilio, HR-V, BR-V and Tuscon. Obviously, i'm a huge fan of honda cars. Based on experience, i think they're reliable and i am very much satisfied with their after sales support. Tuscon is also included in the list because it's diesel, which is a huge plus. Why not the new CR-V? It was my initial choice, but it is a bit over my budget. Ecosport is also a consideration, but i haven't visited a ford branch yet.

Any insights would be much appreciated. I am also open to other suggestions aside from the ones mentioned above. Budget is about 1-1.2M.

Thanks in advance!

Ps.. i have yet to test drive hrv and mobilio. And i was told by a hyundai agent that they dont offer test drive right now.

Again, i apologize for being off-topic.

Among your choices, i’d go for the HR-V. Based it plainly on the looks, hehehe! Check out the mugen variant. [emoji4]

I would wait for the new ecosport with the selectshift transmission. if you cant wait... the mobilio is better looking and more fuel efficient than the brv.

How about Tuscon sir?

[StockEngine]

How about Tuscon sir?

its a good option too. diesel is cheap. if you do proper maintenance tatagal din naman yan 10yrs+

if your budget permits go for the tucson.

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

Good Morning! Sir.

musta na pala yong nabili mong BR-V? same kc tayo ng idea. BR-V or Mobilio. sa pangatlo ang choice ko is ecosport.hehe at buong araw ako naka tutuk sa pag cocompara. so far so good anong ma i shshare mo sa akin? hehe
