Hatches in the 750k range

**JohnM** · April 2nd, 2013 11:40 AM

Accent 1.6 CRDI MT - 768k
Yaris 1.5 MT- 736k
Mazda 2 1.3 MT - 724k
Swift 1.4 MT - 749k
Jazz 1.3 MT - 752k
Mirage CVT - 638k

Driver will be a 70+ year old who complains about driving a manual in traffic but is afraid of automatics

Mostly city driving with occasional NLEX runs. They think the Mirage is too small to be noticed by buses and trucks hence the need to go up a notch in size.

My personal vote is the Accent. The Mazda 2 is a close second.

Oh and it must look good in red

For me, Accent HB CRDI 1.6 engine is a very good choice if you are looking for engine power and operating cost, but Maintenance wise and for rigidly built car, I'll go with Yaris or Jazz... Again, it's just me....

maganda sana accent crdi. but the question is, can a 70 year old driver understand that you need to cool the turbo down before shut off and only to load diesel from trusted stations?

if unsure, reliability of car might be an issue. mahal pa naman ng turbo and crdi injector

Mazda 2 ako. Or Yaris.

Baka kasi hindi na magets ng dad mo bro yung logic na kailangan Petron TD or Seaoil pa magpagas, tas kailangan ng cool down parati etc.

Wow! Isa sa mga favorite CUVs ko.

Hiram hiramin mo din. Ganda daw ng handling niyan.

crdi engine na!

para hindi mahirapan mag timpla ng clutch pag crawling traffic. turbo timer lang ang katapat ng cooling down, yung pag karga ng fuel parehas lang yan, gasoline or diesel engine siempre pipiliin mo ang matinong gas station.. and regular change fuel filter ang katapat. gasolina o krudo man ang gamit ng makina mo pag may tubig ang fuel parehas lang yan na magka problema.
