HELP: Decision making RIO vs Picanto vs Mirage

[basti08]

Awwwww.... tange tange ko. Magbubura nga ako inbox. Pa-PM na lang ako ng info nag quote sayo ng Mirage.

Baka pwede pa refer ako sa agent. Thanks.

Never go for the low down. You'll be tied to hellishly high monthly payments for too long for a car that's not really worth that much.

I like the Picanto, but I don't really see any reason to buy one over the Rio, even if the base Rio has pawis rear windows and no alarm. You can get better economy in the city with the Picanto MT, but you have to drive conscientiously, and put up with the weedy power from the 1.0.

If you want the most space for your money, get the Rio 1.2. The Mirage GLS has much more in terms of toys, but the Rio has a crapload of space. The trunk and backseat are bigger than in the Vios, and the Rio's ride and noise isolation are much better than the Toyota's to boot. Fuel economy is okay in the city as long as you don't drive with a heavy foot.

But... the Mirage is much more economical, and the rear seat is decent. If it's only two of you in the family, it's more than big enough. And with the GLS, you get ABS+EBD, which neither the Rio nor the Vios have. In the olden days, I would have said you don't really need ABS, but thanks to electronic brake force distribution, ABS+EBD can shorten your braking distances from 100 km/h by around ten meters. In the dry. That's over two car-lengths. The Mirage also has better crash safety than the Vios, and dual airbags.

The high point of the Mirage is the excellent economy, both on the highway and in the city. And while it has less power than the Vios and the Rio, performance is the same because it weighs so much less.

The 1.0 competition can probably beat the Mirage in traffic economy, but only through very conscientious driving, and the Mirage is superior at high speed cruising.

-

Still, look around. It's nice shopping at the low end of the market nowadays because you have so many excellent choices with good economy, the Spark 1.0 MT, Eon 800cc MT, Celerio 1.0 MT and Mirage 1.2 MT are all capable of over 25 km/l on the highway if driven properly.

-

Just don't buy an automatic. Not even the astonishingly economical Suzuki 1.0 gives you good economy when mated to that sluggish 4-speed auto in the Celerio.

Seems Niky is recommending the GLS Mt Mirage over the GLS CVT Mirage.

Mirage nanaman? Super exposed naman na si Mirage ngayon.. Sagutin ko kung bakit sir ah.. My original plan kita naman sa thread was to get a mirage. However, now that I'm ready to get one, wala naman mabigay sakin na GLS MT na preferred color ko.. So I checked around muna.. And I have a few friends who owns a mirage 3/5 are not happy. Car of the year, yes no contest, maganda exposure ng auto eh.. If I remember correctly, wayback 2009, Celerio was crowned with the best value for money award.. Kung nabigyan ako ng mirage agad baka mirage owner ako ngayon.. So far, I am happy that I chose the Celerio.. It is small, but I could care less, when I need space we still have the FD (up until my mom arrives). The ride is for my wife anyways, para sa daily transpo nya..

Anyways we all have our own stand on things and I respect yours. I also have my own stand on things and I am happy I chose the Celerio over the Mirage and Picanto. :D

Correct. To each his own yan. You may be happy with your Mirage. Tunaflakes is happy with his Celerio.

TUNA,

congrats sa new ride mo, ganda yang celerio di lang din talaga ako kasya eh kaya i end up sa 1.3G MT na Vios.

Anyway, madami akong friend na enjoy sa celerio nila.

ingat lang at madami ako naidinig na issue with casa, pero kahit anong brand pa eh may masamang tao talaga kaya careful lang and kung may problema tanong tanong lang sa tsikot.

Regards ulit bro,

Roy

[UsernameTaken]

okay din naman yang Celerio eh, we have one in the family, it sure is a very thrift car kaya lang may hesitation talaga sa picking up speed kapag full pax kayo. And trust me you dont wanna take it to tagaytay via talisay road kasi talagang iiyak ang makina na medyo nakakagulat knowing it has a V4 engine compared sa V3 ng Mirage. at medyo mabigat ang steering. pero so far im very satisfied with it. Ako if i were to buy Mini Hatch it would be:

1.) Mirage
2.) Celerio
3.) Spark

[Tunaflakes]

Sir Roy,

Salamat. I've heard a lot of good things sa celerio and upon checking sa site nila maganda naman talaga yung auto.. Yung casa dun samin sa Lipa medyo olats, so ang mga PMS nito eh makati na mangyayari..

Salamat sir sa advise,

Best Regards,
Clyde

PS: Hanep para tayong nasa corporate email.. :D

[brainmafia_310]

Hi Clyde,

I think Suzuki Service Center (CASA) in Westgate Alabang is a good choice instead of going to Makati City. IMHO, it is nearer to your place. Once you are in Westgate Alabang kindly send me a note so we can have a coffee and do some car comparison.

My wife really loves the celerio, however, i really could not fit inside very well. As a bonus, i know have a tsikoteer near my place.

Enjoy your ride,

Thank you and best regards,

Roy

WAHAHAHAHAHA, pinatulan CorpMail - san ka ab connected? baka pwede ako assistant mo Sir.

[Tunaflakes]

Hi Roy,

Alright, when I do the 1st PMS then let's meet in Alabang and have coffee. I am connected with Convergys. But I'm low class ahahaha..

Enjoy your ride too.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Clyde

Sir alipin lang ako dito.. wahahahha TL pa lang ako ahahahaha

[brainmafia_310]

Hi Clyde Ivan C.,

I am also with CVG assigned at ALA2.

Are you the one assigned at CVG1 TLT under the program C****? - sorry you know how confidential it is working with CVG.

Nice, lets have a coffee sometime.

Regards,

Roy

Akalain mo nga naman. oh. yung kasama ko pala nag offer Suzuki Alabang sa kanya 49k DP 95++ per month and hulog yung top of the line pero di sya matic.

[empress20]

Springville at Woodestate ako idol. I just acquired 1.3G MT Vios, i also have 96VTI and Sentra 99 S4Gen2

Dapat nga mas ok dahil kahit 2003 pa yung car free repair pa rin sa mga company (Honda, Toyota and Nissan) - at least pwede naman lusutan na nila yung issue na iyun since 10 years ago na yung iba, dun mo makikita na serhyoso tong mga brand na ito to fix their issues.

Mitsu - people can say bad words din pero ako ok din sa akin ito (japanese Car pa din to) pati elevator Favorite ko Mitsubishi, ngayon pati sa airconditioning.

so in the end, we can suggest but we can not insist - pera ng buyer yan so dun sya maya.

[Tunaflakes]

I'm cool with any brands naman.. We used to own an adventure nung highschool pa ako yun gamit ko palagi.. I used to own a Nissan Sylvia din.. Now I own an
'07 civic 2.0s and the Celerio.. I'm very happy with all the cars I've been with.. I was considering a chinese car nga din like Haima.. Yun nga lang way off the budget kaya nde nakaya.. Celerio is a decent car, it's cheap with it's features. And gas consumption is really good.. 17km/l for a brand new car na wala pang 1k ang odo reading is really good. Wala akong pagsisisi na ito kinuha ko, considering na ang takaw sa gas ng honda ko..

EDIT: honda pala ng nanay ko na nasakin na ngayon.. :D
