Best car for 800-900k budget

[blastme33]

Hi Guys,

I am planning to buy a car within the range of 800-900k. Originally i was planning to get a honda jazz 1.5 A/T but I'm having doubts as to whether its the right choice.

I am looking for a car that doesn't eat too much gas or has very good fuel efficiency and preferably a/t with a comfortable ride.

Please help!

Just, stick with the Jazz.

Fuel efficiency and a/t don't often go together. Especially with small cars, where torque-converter automatics suck lots of gas.

Go with the Jazz bro, kung hindi lang binabaha dito samin yan sana choice ko. Fun to drive and easy to maneuver.

If I had a budget upto 900k, I will get an Altis V rather than a Jazz.

I love the Jazz, I've been wanting the Jazz since the 1st gen facelift, but I've always felt that the Jazz's price is too steep for its features. When they introduced the GE Jazz, i felt it was was priced "reasonably" at P797k -- although medyo natataasan na ako nun since at that time masyado na syang malapit sa Civic V price, but for the exact same car selling at P842k now, wala na sya sa list ko.

The Altis V now sells at P925k, but as Cathy said in the another thread, the discount would make it exactly P900k, the car's features are excellent -- but di ko lang type ang faux wood trims inside.

But I think the Ford Focus 1.8li Trend is a good buy too. Not so sure about its Fuel Consumption though. But get the hatchback if you happen to go Focus.

The best buy for me would be the Ford Focus having the Dual-Clutch Technology... No worries for the A/T Drivers, Very smooth shifting and fuel efficient. (based from Top Gear Mag...)

sorry, I just checked features on the Altis 1.6V and it's not as impressive pala. I thought this one had HID and full leather seats, but sa 2.0 lang pala yun. Cancel my vote on the Altis V.

I suggest you check the Chevy Cruze also. Ganda rin ng features (w/ Traction Control ka pa at P908k). I'm sure makaka-haggle ka pa ng discount on the SRP.

Kimospeed, the dual-clutch A/T of the Focus is for the top of the line TDCi model only. Halos P1.19M na po yun.

maganda ba FC ng cruze?

[homer jay]

maganda ba FC ng cruze?

Malamang hindi rin... it's a 1.8-liter A/T car, so expect around 6-7km/li if pure city driving, 8kpl at best.

If FC is really important , then get the City/Jazz/Vios/M2 1.5AT nalang, it will probably get you around 9kpl on the average, 10kpl at best.

Mahirap kasi qualifications ni Blastme33, Although specified naman nya na hinahanap nya talaga ay fuel efficient. Preference lang naman nya ride comfort.

Ride Comfort usually goes with bigger cars (I really don't think that any of the subcompacts mentioned gives a good ride comfort), but these bigger cars aren't fuel efficient as the subcompacts. And kung preference ang AT, medyo sasablay din sa FC kahit sub-compact. And kung sasabayan pa natin ng performance/responsiveness, lalo kang sasablay with the AT on a low displacement engine -- even on a small car.

Haaaay... kay hirap naman talaga pumili ng tsikot.

Altis is still the best balance of fuel efficiency and ride comfort...

mga tol sa price range nga 800-900K, pasok rin ang Grand Livina 1.8 XR Luxury 908K, Mazda3 1.6V 895K, Vios 1.5G; City 1.5E ayos din ba mga FC nito? and would anyone here consider them as well?

[tidus1203]

I will not consider the MZ3 kasi first of all luma na and more importantly di pasok sa fuel efficient criteria mo! Vios is good on the fuel efficiency side, not very exciting though... City not as good as Vios in fuel efficiency pero mas maganda itsura. GL? No comment...

[jeDi13]

well, if understand the blastme23 right, fuel efficiency is his priority. bonus na lang ang AT with comfortable ride. if you really want a fuel efficiency car * 800-900K price range, get the jazz 1.5 AT. puwede rin ang vios, kaso mas gusto mo ba itsura ng vios over the jazz? it's up to you. but both cars will give you decent FE.

[Gerbo]

Jazz.

If you can wait longer, perhaps the SX4 hatchback and the Mitsubishi RVR which will be coming to our shores this year.

[jeep]

grand livina - comfy ride, A/T, fuel efficient 10km/l city driving, +2 seats

thanks a lot bro! Like TS halos parehas yung criteria namin para sa car +/-800-900K, FC, automatic, difference lang sa choice namin mas preferred ng wife ko is to have additional seats like GL ...

bros any comment sa Avanza at APV II?

*blastme33 sorry bro naki-ride ako sa thread mo ...

avanza 1.5 AT siguro decent FC. APV AT 99% malakas sa gas mga 5km/l sa city. pero mas maluwag. sulit pareho kasi ka presyo ng 5seater pero mas madami ka masasakay

they both have 7 seater. pero for FC, go for the avanza.

Maraming Salamat Tsikot Members!

I think my decision would be to purchase a honda jazz 1.5 a/t polished metal only because i think it looks great on the outside and is quite comfortable naman sa loob.

Only problem is walang stock ang honda jazz these days. I have to wait in June before it arrives.

Thank you very much for the comments and suggestions!
