Help me choose for 900K+ budget: Civic or Livinia or ?

Since you already have a Tucson, that should pretty much do as a people hauler if there are only 6 of you, and getting a new AUV would seem redundant to me. You might be happier getting the Civic so you'd have something to play with when you're not transporting your family

^ The Tuc seats 5. So, obviously it doesn't meet the needs of the TS which is a vehicle that seats 6.

TS, if you opt for the toyota innova. Please, don't get the D4D or else ...

if you opt for the honda civic, it's pretty much the same as your city's only much bigger and more powerful but still, it seats 5.

if you opt for the kia carens, have your honda city traded ... kia offers a high appraisal value in which you might like.

if you want a " different one " go for the suzuki apv. it costs less, but it does meet your needs. and, only opt for this if you're not of the " badge " and " style " guy, because you know ... the apv does look like a slice bread on wheels. But, yeah it's cheap and it's a people hauler. And, I must say that this is DEFINITELY better than the D4D innova.

why not upgrade the tucson and get a bigger suv?

The thing with the Innova is: it's more refined than the Crosswind and Adventure by a mile, but not as refined as sedan based MPVs like the Livina and Carens. Both the VVTi and D4D are good work-a-day trucks, though... (aside from the odd quality problems).

If your City is AT, yes, sell it to make up the difference... you don't want to be stuck with a CVT past 100k kms. If it's MT, why not keep it and trade in the Tucson? So instead of having two big cars with big car maintenance, you have one small car and one big one?

With the trade-in of the Tuc and the 900k, you may be able to get into a 2.5 liter Montero Sport, which should suit your family's needs perfectly.

Sell the City + 900K = Carnival or Montero Sport.

Selling the City is part of the plan . . . but we'll need the money as dp for a small house, somewhere in Daang Hari or Paranaque . . . that will save us at least 70KM worth of travel daily (Cavite to Manila = 75KM per trip).

And, since this is a company benefit, we'd rather not spend big for the additional money . . . you never know . . . baka after a year or two, another opportunity from another company comes along . . .
