Yung Altis pa talaga ang overpriced ha?

Usual comments is CIty is the one overpriced.

i own a VX City BTW

Eto rin dilemma ko few months back.

Got a 1.6V Altis. It's okay. Kasi compact eh. The space is enormous.

Then after 2 months, we bought a VX because of the big discount. Well mostly used by esmi. Elbow space is adequate for a sub compact.. Leg space is great actually, parang yung Altis ko lang. Kaso I'm a big guy. Great na rin for city driving. Matipid tipid na rin compared to my Altis. Andun pa yung "toys" like touch screen HU, push start ignition, etc..

Ako nung time na bumili kami medyo may agwat pa din talaga price ni 1.6G A/T and the City VX.

Stretched na budget namin sa City, kaya ayaw na ako pahiritin pa ni esmi to get the Altis hehe

We started from Wigo G to Vios E to City E until we ended sa City VX ganun kadameng hirit ginawa ko

Good choices bro!

Great choice talaga yung VX actually. Kaso I wanted more space kaya we first got the Altis. Hindi rin nakatiis si esmi kasi choice nya talaga yung City. Syempre kailangan natin sila sundin, baka hindi na tayo pagbigyan eh

If we'd look back around '08, yung presyo ng VX natin close na sa Civic FD. And yung Altis now comparing dati, pwede na ako makakuha ng CRV

*TS,

Anyway, do the maths. That's what I always advice. Hindi biro din maglabas ng pera para sa sasakyan. Para kang nag anak ng isa pa. Expenses will always be there (maintenance, insurance, GAS, MODS, chikas JK!). It's inevitable.. Pero kung lintik naman ang dami ng pera mo, eh go to where you heart desires. Test drive lang ng test drive.

Hindi mo rin ata nasama yung Mazda3? Isa rin yun sa choices ko dati. Kaso tatagal samin yung sasakyan.. After yojin, maintaining the car for a decade might kill me.

If you would ask me to choose between the 3, I'll just wait for the new civic Wala lang, curious kasi ako sa bagong 1.5 Turbo ng Honda.

Do you have a family or are you single. For a first time car owner you cant really go wrong with the choices kasi. Those are mainstream japanese cars. I say take the advice baka di mo pa na consider ang costs assoc. With cars.
You have gas, maintenance, registration, parking fee and toll fees. Pag sinagad mo ung monthly budget mo baka ang ending tipid na tipid ka na sa ibang gastusin.
Ok saken ung city, maganda sya and maluwag daw rin. Pwede ka naman mag ipon ng pang mods para ma improve ang manual variant.

*johnpaul - ano ba hanap mo sa kotse? Each one of us have different tastes and needs.

The difference is actually more like 70k now, with the 915k Sylphy 1.6 sellings as low as 850k while the 949k Altis G can probably be had for 920k.

In fact you can get a Sylphy 1.8 for the price of an Altis G and that's a really big difference specwise.

The usual argument is that the Sylphy is doomed to fail simply because it carries Nissan's bad rep. But the Navara sells well, and that's a Nissan too. It seems that it's more of a model-related bad rep than for the entire brand - the old Navara and Frontier were good trucks, but the Sentra 200 and N16 Sentra were awful.

Again, this leads me to think, why didn't they just name it the Exalta? That was their most successful Sentra iteration, and it doesn't sound awful. I think that alone could boost sales quite a bit, but of course you can't just change a car's name midway through its life cycle.

TBH, if I didn't frequent the forums and car buyer ako, I would just look at the SRP difference and cross it out of my list kaagad. They should just slash the SRP on the spot. That will get buyers interested kesa mataas yung SRP tapos malaki rin discount.

I think the Corolla and Civic have just built a better 'image' than the Sentra/Sylphy, the same way how the Galant was once the king of D-Class cars but eventually got overtaken everwhere (like all other Mitsus). Upside nalang ni Mitsubishi is that the Montero and Mirage are still selling well though.

My opinion on the sylphy. Is talo sya sa looks. Granted subjective yun, pero matagal ng nahuhuli ang sentra sa area na yan compared sa corolla and civic. Doesnt mean its bad though, again those who dont bother to look closer will miss what it has to offer sa interior.

Kamusta pala engine performance compared sa rivals?

Have a 1.8 sylphy. Very very good. Very very underrated. Took 3 months to check out prior to making my choice. Engine performance is very good. Sylphy is the value for money choice.

I'm sure that you're happy with your purchase. After all, you truly believe that the Sylphy is great value for money with its cheap price and bucketloads of features. How much was the discount they gave you for your 1.8V?

Then again, from sales figures, it's apparent that for every compact car buyer who thinks the Sylphy is a gem, there are 25 other people who are thinking along the lines of, "The Sylphy doesn't look as stunning as the newer compacts, has poor resale value, will not have enough parts availability outside the casa, Nissan is awful..." and so on.

These concerns are actually valid. Looks are subjective, but I haven't really seen anyone blown away by the aesthetics of the Sylphy. Looks ok, but not really head-turning.

Resale value will almost certainly be lower than an Altis, and perhaps even the Mazda 3.

Parts availability will also be a concern in the long run, as with any car that doesn't sell well. For a car that has sold less than 500 units in an entire year, I doubt that auto shops will carry parts outside of the usual filters and replaceables. You'll have no choice but to buy at the dealership, which is always at a premium.

Nissan service has greatly improved with the takeover of NPI, but good luck convincing people that the decade of mismangement from Yulon is over.

saw the 2016 sentra US version sa youtube. updated looks, pero malapit pa rin sa itsura ng current. the american spokesperson said something along the lines of the car is designed for the family. that explains why ganon ang approach ng nissan sa looks ng sentra. pero knowing na malaki ang contribution ng nissan sa motor sports, sana mas exciting naman gawin nila =)

Makikisawsaw po sa thread, still undecided with my 1st car purchase. I am now approved with my bank with auto loan Nissan Sylphy 1.6MT, I also got an approval from another bank which is tied up with Toyota, heres what they offer:

Bank1: Nissan Sylphy cost 752k (discounted), 24% DP 180k+, monthly is 11.9k labas ang insurance and CHM.

Bank2 / Toyota: Corolla Altis E, 190K all in, 14.6k monthly.

My first choice is Altis, Sylphy is good at maraming nagrerecommend dito sa forum. Ano po tingin nyong good deal sa dalawa?

Another question is, dun sa bank2, pde ko bang irequest na PO din ang auto loan ko since approved naman na ako? Or kelangan talaga ako pumasok sa toyota inhouse financing? Please advise, thank you!

youll never go wrong sa pipiliin mo basta test drive mo lang lahat check mo handling tapos upo ka din sa driver side tapos upo ka din sa likod. ilagay mo lang yung ac sa lowest para malaman mo kung gaano kalamig ang ac

TFS ba yung sa toyota? ask mo kung anong insurance gamitin nila kasi may kanya kanya silang insurance per dealer.
