For Company Car: 2014 Tucson or 2014 Toyota Altis

[extremeshot]

Test drive both. The Altis was also one of my choices but I was turned off by the 1.6V's beige interior. Plus the dashboard is a bit too old fashioned for my taste.

The Tucson' design is getting a tad too old as well. Hyundai's higher maintenance cost in general is also something to consider. That's why I went for the Sportage .

Well, the car plan limit is just below Php 1M, with my share being 30% of the cost of the vehicle, payable over 5 years.

The company takes care of the insurance and maintenance. I'm fortunate enough to have been given a gas allowance, so FC, while important, is not that much of a concern in the long term.

I tested the Tucson in GLS trim last Saturday. Steering feels light and the throttle is ok. Pretty quiet cabin. Para ngang ang dami ko pang ipapakabit para gumanda like the perforated step boards, illuminated scuff plates and probably front and rear skid plates.

For 1M budget, Altis 1.6V.
Yun nga lang beige ang interior. But you can have this changed to black leather together with the sidings at seatmate or leder interia. However, the dash will retain the same beige color accent though.

How about a Mazda3 1.5L or Civic 1.8L or Focus 1.6L or Lancer 1.6L MX? They all fall in the same price range as the Altis. You can test drive all of them and choose.

Less than 1M lang ba yung Tucson? Kung papasok sa budget, I would be looking at the Sportage instead of the Tucson just like what others mentioned here. The other CUVs are already at the 1.4M price range.

The Sportage is, unfortunately, out of range. That's why, if I were to go for the Tucson, meron pa akong konting dagdag bukod sa sagot ng company. That's already with the discounts.

For the Altis, what makes it attractive apart from the car itself, is that the discounts amount to such that I don't have to shell out any cash just to get the variant I want. To be honest, I haven't considered the Mazda 3, although I heard that the Sky Activ tech and Yojin3 package is what makes the car really good.

Oh, well... a little more product research won't hurt...

For the Mazda 3 1.5L, the Yojin3 package wouldn't matter because your company is taking care of the maintenance.

Mazda 3 has less power but handling is better daw. But the altis has good enough handling for normal drives.
And the CVT is superb. 7 gears if you choose to shift yourself but up to 9 shifts if you let it do it's own thing.
The keyless entry is also very nice for the 1.6V. True keyless kasi you don't need to touch your keys to unlock, lock or start the car. Hawakan mo lang yung driver side door handle maguunlock na as long as you have the key in your pocket. And lock the doors by touching an area in front of door handle naman.

Not considering a pickup? Strada or Ranger would be nice. Still fits the budget and is more practical for the weather we currently have.
