    you might peruse the sales figures, to see which car is the more popular.
    "all them buyers can't be all mistaken", can they?

    i do not normally subscribe to the bandwagon, but with cars....

    also, all these cars have reviews in the internet. read them, po.

    FC won't mean much in our traffic. Driver habits also make a big difference.

    Wigo = Daihatsu. My sister has one. I drove it and I didn't like it.

    I personally prefer the Mirage. It is also locally assembled now so body parts for the inevitable fender benders should be easier to source. The CVT requires more frequent fluid maintenance compared to normal ATs though.

    The Picanto and the Swift are for those who want to stand out from the crowd of minis.

    The Brio is a Honda.

    If you want to have peace of mind with car ownership better to just choose a Toyota ...

    ask the potential driver to test-drive all of them cars, po.
    sometimes, it's not how well the car was built, but how the body fits like a glove in it.
    we got a wigo, for all the real and imaginary advantages the marquee has to offer. after 3 years, "we still haven't seen a reason why we should sell it".

    Your sister is a ...

    A college student?
    A young twenty-something?
    A working professional?
    A mother?

    We can suggest cars here all day, but until there is sufficient info, then its everyone's guess (or opinions).

    Exactly the same profile as my girlfriend (gasp! I can't believe we qualify as mid 20s already 😭)

    If I had 700k and was limited to brand new cars, I'd get her a Swift 1.2 - good looking car, nice to drive, nice power, nice features. A bit cramped inside but since she'll be the only one to use it, should be okay.

    If used cars are allowed, I'd get a 2011-2013 Tucson CRDi or Sportage CRDi. Just the right size, very frugal, very powerful.

    Suggest ko LNG dalawang brand kung need mo medyo sosyal and sporty looks na car......PEUGEOT AND MITSUBISHI brand lang.
    Itong dalawa na to na observed ko LNG based sa actual at mga experience ng car owner very satisfied sila.economical at di basta basta naluluma ang dating.
    This October will decide pa kung ano pipiliin ko dito sa dalawA na bibilhin ko but it most likely PEUGOET which fits for my budget.

    Never GH sa Toyota Wigo and ford fiesta... Yung neighbors namin sumakit ulo nila sa sira yung isa main brake and yung isa hboard....

    Based on my experienced in my shop, Korean cars like KiA and Hyundai is a bit hard to fix and maintain.

    If she is a new driver, try the jimny. She can see the whole front and hood. My daughter only 2 weeks to practice and drove it on her own.

    It would be best to have your sister look around models within your budget and let choose the one that sings to her.

    You can also look for a used compact (Civic, Altis) or subcompact (City, Jazz, Vios) at around half your budget. The extra space will come handy for the family.

    Try to stretch out that 700k to 850k. You can get either vios or city AT. Good for city driving and highway/long drives.

    ^I agree with the Swift.

    Kaya lang may bagong model na. So I guess if you can wait, better check that one too.

    Suzuki Swift - Wikipedia
