If you are asking about resale value, I would say it would be hard to recommend the forte as a "contender" in the second hand market given brand perception dito sa Kia. So I'd say better stick to the more "known" Japs kung big consideration yun. Mahihirapan ka makuha asking price mo.

The Levorg now comes only with the more powerful 2.0T powerplant. In terms of performance and usable space, it trumps over the other two. It is practically a WRX CVT in wagon form, a bit cheaper than the WRX CVT in fact. However, it is more expensive than the other two (1.998M SRP, less 100k discount)

The Civic RS will have better resale value primarily due to its name sake and the fact that wagons are an acquired taste.

If I were to choose, I'd get the Levorg. It has a more powerful engine (268hp/350Nm), a lot more usable space & trunk, plus the extra grip of an AWD platform. Give it a bit more tuning and you are now looking at WRX STi power outputs (300hp/400Nm).

Levorg>Civic>Forte

Fastest among the 3 is the Levorg and also wagon yung body type which i'd actually prefer but the most expensive

Pero Civic para saakin yung "sakto" lang. hahaha realistically this is what i'd get given that the budget is for the levorg kasi papalitan ko ng sound system.

The Levorg 2.0T comes standard with Eyesight technology already - adaptive cruise control and automatic city braking. Bad trip nga lang is that Subaru did not put the Harman Kardon sound setup like on the FXT.

If you don't mind an older platform, Motor Image is still selling the remaining stocks of the Forester XT at 1.798M. It may not have the WRX output but it packs the same 2.0T engine rated at only 240hp/350Nm. Big plus yung ground clearance which is similar to PPVs. It drives like a sedan and it is as quick and fast as the Civic RS despite being taller and heavier.

Adaptive cruise control is very helpful if you're always on a highway run. Actually yan ang sayang kasi even if the Levorg was priced at least 50k higher for the Harman Kardon sound system, i think bibilhin parin.

Ah yes, the FXT na super bargain price ngayon. Parang yan ata yung price for the previous generation pa kaya sulit na sulit talaga.

If only car - Civic

Yep, that's the price of the FXT even back in 2015-2016. However, these 2017-2018 models of the FXT has a newer rim style, steering-adaptive headlights, and newer dashboard control menu.

I guess it is the other way around. The Levorg is a better all-in-one family car than the Civic RS. I can do whatever the Civic RS can do plus the utility of a wagon.

[EQAddict]

Id take the Levorg for all the reasons mentioned above even tbough its on a previous generation platform. And its kinda rare as well but that will hurt its resale value compared to the Civic RS.

woooahh thanks guys sa input it seems like Levorg is a clear winner here.

i don't want to go fxt cause i have a 2.0P fxt already and i'm eyeing for sedans naman para di ko mamiss yung ride and feel of it

i wonder kung next year magkakaroon ng greater discount sa Levorg and magkakaroon kaya ng all new nito? yung design kasi ng Levorg parang so so lang ako

Since may Forester 2.0i-P ka na pala, you don't need a family car. Have you considered the WRX? How about a big sedan like an Accord or Legacy or Mazda6?

not really a fan of big sedan out of the budget na din and mahilig talaga ako sa hatch type mas mabilis kasi siguro maglagay ng gamit comparing sa sedan

what's the difference ng wrx? sa levorg? not bad din pala ito sportier looking

The WRX is tuned to have a stiffer suspension for better handling but a harsher ride. The WRX also has wider 18" tire (245/40/R18 for the WRX vs 225/45/R18 for the Levorg) for more grip. The seats of the Levorg is placed higher for better visibility unlike the seats of the WRX which sits lower. The Levorg has more cargo space and priced 100k less than the WRX.

If you want a decent-handling hatchback, then get a Mazda3 2.0L.

Subaru Levorg
since you are a fan of hatchbacks, a wagon is similar with the added benefit of a bigger load capacity.

The mazda 6 wagon is around the same ballpark price as the levorg but with a less powerful engine but is more marketed as an executive type of wagon.

I like the Honda Civic better

ok guys nakapagdecide na ako mazda 6 diesel or mazda 6 gas

Both SkyActiv 2.5G Turbo gas and SkyActiv 2.2D Turbo diesel are priced at 2.25M. The Turbo gas has more pace but the turbo diesel offers lower fuel cost. If you want the 2.5G NA gas, the Wagon model is priced at 1.995M.

If you ask me, I'd go with the Turbo gas model. Nothing beats the smile on your face when you rev that engine to 6k rpm. Pick your poison and make sure to drive it like you stole it.

Agree w/ good sir Egan...Turbo Petrol FTW[emoji106]. If routes are short & slow, never the new turbo diesels w/ DPF.

With your budget, I would get a Camry. Resale value should be better, since you can say that it has a 6 speed AT and not a CVT.
