With your budget, I'd rather get an Altis (M/T) or Nissan Sylphy (Sentra B17) 1.6 CVT. May sukli pa. I tell you, your wife will definitely feel the upgrade than your options.

With Ecosport's tiny wheels, it can't really go fording either. Besides, are you really going to dip your car in floodwaters? That's not a very wise thing to do (though I did, in my Sylphy, because I was in unfamiliar neighborhood and water is rising). I lost my plastic plate (where dealer writes your conduction number), other than that, it was fine fording a half wheel high flood (205/50/R17).

The only real flood forder you can get around 900 is a Nissan NP300 Calibre. But it's huge so the wife might not like it though it will NEVER be bullied, except perhaps by a 10W truck.

Her current car is Kia Picanto AT and she wants a bit bigger so as not getting bullied by bigger cars. Budget is between 800k to 900k.

Criteria:
1. Matipid sa gas.
2. Higher fording capability since the way to school is flood prone.
3. Easy to park.
4. Cheap and easy to maintain.
5. Off course may dating.

Accent sir. Laki ng matitipid mo sa fuel bill. Mas matipid na sa lahat tapos mura pa diesel. Yung full tank mo na 1300pesos tatagal na yan ng 2weeks. Pag sa ibang oto, mag full tank ka ng 1600-1800 sa gas tapos tatagal lang mga 1.x week.

Wala pa ba balita kelan lalabas Honda BRV?

Practicality - Accent HB

The Ecosport dating depends on the beholder although the fording capability is there (good to know it can... but better to not have to use that capability).

If you can stretch the budget a little, perhaps consider the Juke?

wala sa options mo > Kia Soul. I think shared engine with Accent. You get quite same performance/FC, maluwag, maikli and mas may konting presence sa road than the accent/hatchback car. Problema baka abutin 1M ang A/T. pero ung lower variants kaya.

Although they share exactly the same engine, you don't get the same FC as the Accent CRDI. The heftier body, body shape & bigger tires all contribute for a poorer FC.

Based on the previous posts here, Practicality = Hyundai Accent diesel, but what about maintenance costs? reliability? cheap to maintain din ba ang hyundai accent?
