Helping for a friend: best subcompact cars for 500k

**GTi** · January 13th, 2016 07:29 PM

^Agreed. A bigger car would be a better choice if you travel in the highway a lot. The bigger body makes it more stable in high speeds, and the bigger engine makes it more capable of staying in those speeds in the long run.

I'd suggest perhaps a base Vios or Rio.

nakakastress naman...wala pa rin yung Wigo ng friend ko. well, we are blaming Toyota Shaw for this mess.

hahanap pa kami ng panibagong dealer tuloy.

I also saw one pricelist of an SA with the base Wigo E M/T at Php473K. Drastic price increase from Php449K. Not as value packed anymore. And the manual G is around Php526K I think. Again, just save more and you'd get a Vios J M/T. Maybe no touchscreen HU but it is better overall, IMHO.

The all new celerio is well praised among reviews. Suzuki is also reliable and efficient. Parts and service sa casa are more expensive though.

Ano ang biggest advantage ng wigo than eon other than the T badge & the reputation that comes with the brand?

Biggest advantage for me is interior space especially for the rear passengers.

Other advantages:
1.0L engine vs 0.8, rear power windows, head unit, tachometer, dual front airbags (standard) vs. driver only (GLS), A/T option, ABS (anti-lock braking system), EBD (electronic brake force distribution)

Kaya ni EON yan... kung Mahilig mag overtake. Doon talo si eon. Pero kung kalmadong driver ka lang papasa sayo si eon.. 5 kami sa loob ng eon normal ang mga bigat. 120km stable si eon. Slex, nlex, tplex..
.
Dahil maliit ang gulong ni eon. Midyo mas ramdam mo ang lubak than bigger car.

agree, pati nga Top Gear PH puring-puri sa new Celerio. we even considered getting this.

but my friend wants the wigo (dahil sa T badge and wide availability of parts in case problem sa kotse arises). anyway, nakuha na namin ng friend ko yung Wigo last weekend. after almost 3 months of stress, haha.
