Car for beginner 800-900k budget

[jut703]

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.

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

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.
