Car for beginner 800-900k budget

[AltisAndMZ3FAN]

If space is your biggest priority, the Nissan Sylphy 1.6 CVT is 949k but my officemate got a 60k discount before. Very spacious although not as much toys as the City/Jazz VX.

If you want a subcompact, the City, Jazz, and Ciaz are all very spacious. The Ciaz is as big as a compact car already and it's pretty cheap at 773k. It's gonna have poorer resale value than a City so the 30k difference between the Ciaz and the entry-level City E might be worth it for you.

If you can afford it though, the City VX is the best all-rounder subcompact you can get. At 913k, it's slightly over budget but I believe Honda offers 10-20k discounts so it should fall within your upper limit. If you can live without the toys, the City E is also a pretty good package (better than the Vios E) at 804k.

Personally I think the Jazz is a better car for an extra 20k more but it really depends if you prefer a hatch or sedan. You can't go wrong with either.

Just would like to throw in, how about a Volkswagen Polo? Which is about 850k if i'm not mistaken.

Honda Mobilio or Toyota Avanza

Jazz pros: fuel efficient, spacious, exterior looks (not for all) cons: dead feel cvt, cheap interior

Mazda 2: pros: fuel efficient, exterior looks, premium interior, yojin 3, fun to drive, also named car of the yr japan and ph cons: sikip sa likod

The base BRV is a better buy than the TOTL Mobilio. With the BRV, you get higher ground clearance and a nicer interior.

Sige boss..i-consider ko din yang advice mo..but how about the maintenance..??same lang ba sila ng gastusin..??since parehas naman honda..??

Yes, same maintenance cost because they share the same engine and underpinnings.

However, it's not right to say that all Hondas have the same maintenance costs. Maintenance costs may be similar between a Mobilio, BRV, City, and Brio, but a CRV and Accord will definitely be more expensive to maintain.

Anyway, bottomline, running costs are the same a Mobilio and BRV, and between a Mobilio RS and BRV S, the BRV is a better buy.

Php1,100 change oil cost for a 3rd gen CR-V 2.4 ... for those still under warranty it will cost more ...

Oil change costs are similar since the only difference is the oil capacity of the bigger-engined cars.

However, if you include shock absorbers, tie rods, alternators, compressors, etc, the costs rise exponentially compared to budget cars.

With most japanese brands like Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Mazda, you would not need to worry about maintenance costs during the first few years of ownership. BUT during the regular 5000km tune up or maintenance intervals, you'll need to be a bit sharp on the list of things to be changed or used. Especially stuff to be used because casa have this bad habit of using 3rd party (overpriced) oil and fuel additives in the almightly so-called name of longevity of your vehicle... which is a farce. It just gives the casa more profit, period. So when the list of items to be used on your car is presented to you, do not be shy to tell them to NOT use the STP oil addtive or fuel cleaner etc. Your wallet will thank you and your car will run just as good without all that junk.

Hi, my girlfriend is on a shopping for a car. With a budget of 800-900k she'll be the one to shoulder the cost (Loan on bank).
We're not really rushing this so we want to execute this as smooth as possible.
Priorites are the following:
-Space
-Decent looks on its price
-AT
-Features and safety

So far she is looking into this list (No MT please):
Jazz
City
Juke, but 980k, given the budget she really prefers this.
Mazda 2
Elantra
Ecosport

You could also suggest a decent 2nd hand car. As i'm also convincing her on this.
Thanks!

vios or altis!
ciaz?
so who's gonna make the decision: you or her?

From the list, the Jazz or City is the best choices.

But just asking, why was the Vios and Yaris not included in the choices?

a subcompact won't be a problem for you dr, because you own a wigo

the wigo has better passenger space design than the previous vios.

in the latter, i would crawl into the rear seat! in the former, i enter in the usual manner.

It's hard buying a compact for such a budget, unless you opt for an Altis MT or Lancer MT or Sylphy MT. Most people are then limited to subcompacts (City/Jazz, Vios, Fiesta, Swift, etc) for something between 800-900k.
