Best First Car 900k max Budget

[IMm29]

Hi Folks,

Ask ko lang po sana ang suggestion nyo with this kind of requirements:

First Car
Budget : 900K (no more)
Family Size : 2 Adults, 2 children
From Malabon (so minsan me baha)
More on city driving 80%, yung remaining out of town.

Choices namin

Eco Sport (Pero sabi mahal daw ang maintenance)
Vios 1.5G
City
Innova J Dsl (kaso lang parang kulang sa safety features, primary concern ko.)

me massuggest pa po ba kayo? Sorry second/thrid post ko po dito and please be gentle

I'd take out the 2 sedans from the list since you mentioned "minsan may baha". Next suggestion would be to visit the dealers with the kids and the wife and get a test drive for both vehicles. At the very least, show them the cars and ask them for their inputs. See also for yourself how roomy both MPVs are.

I haven't seen the Ecosport in the flesh, er metal up close. A lot of the info I have on it is from Top Gear PH. Nice features, definitely better than the bare Innova. My dad has an Innova J and G. There is quite a difference in amenities, but what I like about the J is its interior, though low rent, is actually low maintenance too.

For feedback on the Ecosport, you can also try going to Fordclubph.com

Leo - sa bandang Longos.

Ry - actually ok din yan, prob ko lang is, ipapasok ko kasi to sa Company namin for subsidy, sayang din kasi eh. pag 2nd hand, mas maikli yung terms (letsay 2 years, kasi yun nalang yung remaining). malaki ang amort ko sa ganyan, pero ok nga dinyang option, I'll check nag tatally ako eh. BTW, upon checking, 11K for the Innova E (after discounts and subsidy) best deal na ba yun? san ba maganda iapply yung discount sa SRP or sa DP?

12vdc, thanks sa inputs

Also consider the Hyundai Accent hatch CRDi. Diesel power!

kahit diesel pa yan kung sa malabon mo isabak ewan ko lang kung anong mangyari

[Ponkan]

un Longos malapit sa Bayan di ba Scuttle? Pick-up nalang may option ka pa i-lift kapag bitin sa taas dahil sa baha :D

Sa malabon pala gagamitin. Mag SeaDoo ka nalang 😁

[Scuttle]

*Ponkan - Oo tama malapit sa bayan.

Right now, here's my shortlist. Innova J or E, Ertiga, and Spin..

Kaso wala pa kaming dealer na Suzuki at Chevy... kaya kailangan mag effort na pumunta ulit ng showroom.

Mas ok ba na MT pag Malabon? ;)

MT versus AT. it's a personal choice, each with its pros and cons..
there's an existing thread on this. access it po..

[Scuttle]

Thanks Dr D...

Mag-AT ka na. Matindi traffic MM eh. Alaga lang change-oil nan AT Fluid, matitibay na mga yan.

At since malabon ka, baka mas ideal nga pick-up sayo. ok naman 4x2 na pick-up e.

Kung ako lang, I'll get the City VX. Coz it is probably the most enjoyable vehicle to drive among your list. Kung bibili ka nga ng mataas na kotse, will you risk it when flooding occurs? bumabaha din sa amin sa Pasig, and I own a high enough SUV(Montero Sport) but my suv never experienced flooding higher than the gutter level. Kasi when I know a typhoon is coming, SOP na sa akin na imove yung mga kotse to higher ground.

The city feels very hightech and would probably take a while before other cars catch up with it's gadgets. The space is also good using the city, and I'm sure your kids would love that extra leg room. What is also important is the driving feel. If you enjoy what you drive, it will inspire you in a lot of ways

If you want an inspiring drive go for a Suzuki Swift, Ford Fiesta, or Mazda 2.

The City isn't all that sporty for me, and this has proven true across all generations of Cities I've driven. That's just not the car's identity.

+1 on this. I never did find the City as sporty. It's a boring drive but it's a good utility car (lots of space for a sub-compact, big trunk, fuel efficient). If you want a zippy and fun drive for less than 900k, get the Fiesta Ecoboost. It would surely put a smile on your face when you floor that pedal and the car just scoots off.

Thanks guys sa suggestions nyo.

Nung nakita ko ang City sa PIMS, maganda nga sya, actually that time, between City, Vios and Mazda 3 yung pinagpipilian namin. Later on we realized na, this car baka 4-5 years pa mapalitan, and with the age of my daughters, mukhang maliit na yung car, that's why we look sa 7 seater, kaya na consider namin ang Innova and yung suggestion nga, Spin and Ertiga, ngayon, mag window shop kami this weekend until mid October to decide talaga which one.

More on office and outof town din kasi pag weekend, so kailangan din ng additional space.

Right now, I got an offer from Toyota, and nag aask pa din ng other offers sa ibang dealers. Then once ok bak ifile na namin sa company, benefits kasi ng company eh.

It is very subjective pre. I like the City because I am a gadgets guy. Like the Paddle Shifters, Start/Stop Button, Touch Screen A/C and Monitor etc. I enjoy these the same way I like my gadgets from my Home Theater gears, Home Audio, Car Audio etc.

I find these features more useful too seeing how bad the traffic is here in Metro Manila.

Sa choices mo chairman, I'd probably go with the EcoSport Trend MT. But with 2 kids already, you would probably need a third row or lots of luggage space. And since minsan bumabaha sa inyo, I suggest get a car with higher clearance. If kaya i-stretch ang budget, mukhang bagay ung MU-X sa needs/requirements mo.

[slapz]

Tama, IsuzuMu X-rated nalang!

Pero kapag tinataasan ang budget, dadami ulit mga options, lalo kang mahihirapan. Ahaha!

[oliver1013]

Innova diesel talaga ako...most versatile...tipid sa krudo pero sakto lang hatak, kaya magsakay ng pito,walo pag puro payat, kung magisa ka naman o dalawa lang kayo, di masyado malaki, sakto lang height, pag inabot ka ng biglang ulan at tumaas yubig ng konti kahit papaano may lusot..madami piyesa at maraming mekaniko kaya gumawa, di maselan baga.

Yup tama Sonn, pero malayo sa budget ang MuX.. nakita ko na to sa personal, solve talaga he he he he...

For the Eco, na consider din namin yan, pero yun nga.. walang 3rd row. Kaya ang shortlist nag fall sa Spin and Innova.

Thanks for your inputs.
