Honda Civic or Hyundai Genesis Coupe or BMW 320i

[Ry_Tower]

BMW ako.

I like them lot.

[niky]

Benz ayaw mo? E class AMG models?

And what E-Class AMG that's not a million years old can you buy within a 1.2 million peso budget?

Boss, meron. You can PM me if you want.

^ W210 or W211?

If W211, jackpot yan!

Mercedes Benz E55 AMG AT - 99 | Cars for sale NCR | AyosDito.ph
Gotcha! E55 AMG 1M lang oh!

[niky]

Medyo out of the ordinary na.

You could consider taking care of a 2 year old Genesis Coupe on the same budget as a Civic, but a 320i would cost more to maintain... And a 13 year old V8 supersedan would cost even more.

I definitely wouldn't recommend it.











Akin nalang yan. Ano yung phone number ulit?

Kidding aside... medyo malayo. If we're going to go that way, there's a heck of a lot of fast metal you can buy for 1.2m. You could even buy a secondhand R34 GT-R. But there's a big difference between owning a car just two years old and owning a car that's over a decade old, no matter how "fresh" it is.

Monster inside. Parang CF sticker ata or CF talaga yan?

[Starex_Gold]

Mukhang CF talaga na gawa ng Renntech.

Sarap ihataw niyan Kaso mumog sa gas. Ha-ha!

His preferred GC is the manual transmission. I don't get why you guys would recommend it to him. Sure, it's a GC. But it's manual. And you know about the GC's clutch. Hahaha. Magkakaron na ng calves yung left leg mo. :hysterical:

Hence, I'd go for the BMW 320i. BMW = Baller status. No Civic, nor a GC, nor an Elantra would beat the luxury appeal that the BMW brings.

If you wan't something mafia-looking, try the old but still a looker 740iL BMW. There's one up for sale in sulit, has clocked about 25-35k kms ONLY.

[niky]

I'd rather the E55. Maintenance for old Benzes is expensive, but maintenance for the 740 is downright scary...

2010 genesis coupe yellow 19k km only 1.1M price.

^i think they(tsikot) blocked it.

BMW ako siyempre! But GC wins my heart when i see one. It's just ***y.

To note: thie infamous Nikasil issues won't affect models built after 1995-1996... so possibly you can get a 740iL in your price range that won't have that problem... but modern BMWs are still scary expensive to maintain.

Seriously, I'd say go for a brand-new car over a secondhand one anytime. Get a secondhand lemon unit and see your headaches grow by the hour.

Always been my philosophy is that if you can't purchase it firsthand save/earn/swindle/kidnap-enough-rich-kids so that you can. With that, I'll tick the Honda Civic on the list. BMW might be great.. and driving it should be like eating Toblerone everyday but once something breaks down.... uh oh..

Let's be practical though. Get the 1.8 Elantra, spend some for car modifications (do note that this does NOT increase the value of your car) and the other for 2 years worth of gas expenses. Savvy?

Hmm~ A 180hp Elantra sounds nice. Considering the starting point, it won't be hard to attain too.

Honestly, except for the better steering feel and sound insulation, the 320i isn't anywhere near as exciting to drive as the GC. The GC even rides better (run-flats = ouch over gravel or rumble strips). Now if we're talking a 320d, that's fun. Still not 3.8 liter V6 fun, but fun, nonetheless.

i agree with this, this is why i would never buy an entry level euro car. expensive to maintain but isn't really that much better than a mid range/high end asian car. if you're going to buy an entry level euro car just for the brand then that's just plain stupid, that's like bragging about buying the ugliest/worst house and lot in forbes park masabi lang na naka tira sa forbes park.:bwahaha:

anyway if you're worrying about the maintenance of a euro car then that just means you still can't afford one. there's a difference between being able to buy one and being able to afford one. i know people who buy entry level euro cars just so they can say they own a bmw/benz then when the time comes for their maintenance ayun namo-mroblema. they remind mo of guys who buys fancy jewelry(rolex,diamond earings/ring) but nag cocomute lang because they can't afford to buy a car or your local jologs who has the latest gadget pero baon naman sa utang.

2010 genesis coupe yellow 19k km only 1.1M price.

binebenta na pala to, sayang naman, I saw this car personally kasunuran ko to a copule of months ago, along Roxas Blvd. heading to Mall of Asia. ganda talaga sa personal, so very ***y, saka ito rin yung participant sa Reflash tour Philippines.

ok binata ka rin naman, suggestion lang go for the Genesis Coupe, surprisingly it can offer an average 10km/L for mixed driving condition (of course still depends on how you hit the pedal) which is not bad fuel consumption, considering it is an sportscar ,oh btw that's for the 2.0 turbo 6speed M/T entrylevel variant, but some of the peeps here who own a Genesis got a lower fuel consumption somethin' like 6km/L because we all know that you really drive it real hard because that's the character of the GC, drive it like a sportscar because it's a sportscar. yan rin ang naisip ko e, kung may pera ako, bat pa ako mag-cCIVIC, kung halos parehas lang din sila ng fc ng GC 2.0. nasasakin na lang yun kung paano ko i-ddrive para magigng matipid. opinion lang naman.

saka ka na lang magBMW, kapag 25 ka na or early 30's/mid 30's.

[GTi]

Well, the GC 2.0T engine is basically similar with a Mitsubishi 4B11. If driven lightly without spooling the turbo, it should yield FC not far off from that of a Lancer EX. Pero kung daily driver mo yung ganito... Sa Metro Manila traffic and road conditions, kawawa ka at kawawa rin ang car.
