help buying a car

[melchan03]

Your best bet is to wait for the new Toyota Altis. A generational change usually brings in a fresher design and subsequent "facelifts" build upon that which makes the car age more gracefully. Think about the older 2002 Altis or the 2002 Honda CRVs, when properly maintained, you won't say it's old at all!

oh nga e. baka ill wait for the altis bago mgdecide. )

malayo ba tlga price range ng Ford parts compare sa Honda parts? im currently driving 2002 Crv. sa parts ng honda hindi naman ako namahalan masyado. kaya gusto ko talaga malaman if malayo price ng honda parts sa ford parts. hehe..

How long do you intend on keeping the car? Mazda's offering free maintenance & parts for 3 years, although for 60 kms only, if it comes first.

ok yung deal ah. pero im planning to keep the car 5years or more. max siguro 7-8years.

ganda rin mazda 3 lalo na yung next year na lalabas. pero dami ko nabasa bad comments about sa current mazda 3. >.<

- Civic

#3. FC
- Civic 1.8s MS - 9-10 kms/liter city driving
- No idea sa iba

#4. Excellent interior and features
- Focus

concern ko siguro after 5years. kung sobrang mahal ba parts. or same lang price sa honda parts.

sobrang naglalaway ako sa ford focus HB. hahaha!

Wait for the new Altis. Call me lame, call me tame, call me boring. But at the end of the day, Toyota's still rule here in the Phil.

And they're easy on the pocket too. (maintenance wise)

*melchan:
Civic (FD): regular pms schedule charges (using fully synthetic oil) - 4-6Kphp
Ford (Everest): 5-7kphp per pms (change oil using mineral oil)
Almost the same considering the larger amount of oil used for the Everest. Both are bnew when bought.

I share the same sentiments. They may never be exciting cars but they always bring in the balance. Signs of ageing indeed!

TS, why did you not consider the Toyota Altis? I'd pick that.

for the altis kase parang normal car lang for me. im looking rin kase yung fun to drive factor & yung may dating, tipong mejo head turner. pero im kinda considering na rin altis. ganda rin ng lalabas na altis. kaya sana lumabas na! hindi ko lang masyado gusto yung interior.
grabe hirap mgdecide. buti nalang may forums na ganito & mga taong masipag magreply. thank you. hehe..
