which one is worth spending my (max of) 100t and 25t/mo. for 5 years?

[alwayz_yummy]

mga sirs, choices ko na pasok sa budget and needs:

1. sx4 crossover - 28t all-in down, 21t mo. blinged-out unit - skirts, different bumpers, dual tail pipe, tv-dvd-gps-rear cam + 2 headrest monitors.. cheapest cash-out, most accessorized, pero wala ko makitang inputs sa mga local forums.

2. mazda 3 hatch - promo * 99t all-in, 20t/mo. std freebies + (sabi ng SA) raingutter & after market tv-dvd-gps hu+2 headrest monitor. mukha naman active ang clubmz3 forums..tsaka kaya i-turbo ng speedlab. un nga lang oldest sa group.

3.ford focus 1.8 hatch - 120t down, 24t mo. standard freebie lang. madami-dami naman ako nababasa about this, and fit ata mga cosworth parts from speedlab. kakafacelift lang and due for out na ata ang updated model...

4.2011 elantra 1.8 gls - blinged-out unit na dvd-tv-gps, rear cam+sensor, raingutter. the only sedan on my lists na ok ang rear seat legroom/space with wide rear patungan and trunk. very active ang mga owners online..eto ang i could say na "new" sa batch. 98-118T all-in down, 21T monthly...pagisipan ko kung 1.6L ako..pero baka MT kunin ko kung 1.6L.

pati reason why.. thanks!

side notes:

altis 1.6G-MT, civic 1.8S, lancer ex gls ay off sa budget ang all-in down nila...

sentra 200, grand livina 6MT ay seasonal magoffer ng below 100T all-in down.. pero im still considering these, especially the livina.. so far, yang mga yan ang naka line-up...

kung may similar thread na ako like this, paki merge nalang. ty.

Kung ganon Elantra nalang. The Mazda 3 and Focus replacements are coming out soon, the SX4 is pretty much a lackluster product especially with local specs. The Elantra seems to be the best choice being the newest and best spec'd among your choices. Performance should also be a strong note.

How come you didn't consider the vios?

[renzo_d10]

Seriously speaking I'd pick the SX4 crossover. Looks unique in every way. Yun nga lang, para kang si desert_fox dito sa forums, magisa ka sa thread niyo. Haha.

Uhmm. Can I see how does the accessorized SX4 look? I've only seen the standard one and IMHO it looks okay for me already. If getting the standard unit will make your monthly smaller due to its lesser price then its a better & a much more practical pick. You can always install the add-ons soon anyways, who knows, you might get it at a much cheaper price outside.

The Hyundai Tucson 2.0 GLS A/T can be had for 98K all-in down payment and 28K a month for 5 years (27,992 to be exact). If you can pony up an extra 3K a month for the next 5 years, then you get a nice SUV, though FC is just similar to the X-Trail in city driving. We got a similar unit and are very happy with it... and that is coming from someone who drives an X-Trail too

I notice that you're considering the Focus which has a 120K DP. Toyota has some similar promos here:

Toyota Amazing All in Package Promo Philippines - 3849833

BRAND NEW TOYOTA ALTIS 1.6 E MT * 122,600 ALL IN Philippines - 3775613

I believe Mantrade still has the 99K all-in for the Livina 1.8 M/T. You can look for Sherwin who is my Sales Advisor there. Just tell him Ronald from RCBC Plaza who got the X-Trail last year referred you ;)

Yung bang SX4 ay yung Gold edition na spec?? Lalo na sa description mo... Ako, you buy a car because you need it, not because it's an all new one. Do your test drives.

* cathy - vios, rear legroom at lack of 60/40 seats brings it down... inalis pa sa line-up ang 1.5G-leather AT (either this or nothing)

*digitalron - alam ko nga 88T..pero tapos na promo.. sige will try to contact ung nirefer nyo po. actually, kaya ko ang up to 30T/mo, kaya lang may additional na ako pinagkakagastusan..(heheh eto lang ang disadvantage ng having 2wife and 2 kids) safe na ako sa 25T below. grand vitara 2.4L 4x2 nga ok na ok sa 99T down at almost 25T mo....pero un nga lang, di nalalayo ang consumo sa xtrail ko.. kausapin ko din SA ko sa e.rod (wheels)... kaya daw nya ako bigyan ng special deals sa suzuki, kia or hyundai...altis E is just too bare... buti pa ang ford 1.8L/mazda3 hatchback. avanza 1.5G/innova e? mataas ang cash out...

*renzo - di ba forte ang ride ni desert_fox? nag assist sa akin kanina sa e.rod ttry nya pa-approve ung 8T all-in down for sx4 crossover limited (different front and rear bumper, tailgate spoiler, window visor, dual tail pipe, tvt/dvd/rear cam headunit na integrated parin ang steering controls)... exterior pics uploaded..ang madadagdag lang sa pics ay silver color, at bumper-mounted rear cam and 2-eye reverse sensor actually, for me guapo ang sx4 xover na naka set-up... i want silver.





*GH - downgraded na to 1.6L ang soul..cost cutting? hehehe pero problem di maapeal ang design ng soul sa akin,e...

*myk - list based po sa financial capacity, functionality, and if applicable, fun to drive... kaya nga AUVs are not on the list.

edit: pics are from suzuki calookan... i'm getting a unit at e.rodriguez...reason: the SA i had talked with and accomodated me guaranteed me he'll give "special" deal for me.

[_Cathy_]

The sx4 looks nice naman pala. I can't say the same about the kia soul. No offense to soul owners.

[alwayz_yummy]

*cathy - forte looks nice too... only 1 lang nakikta ko lagi, at nakaparada sa parking ng school ko nung high-school palang ako... forte sedan.. maganda din ang specs, pero di promo...




looks like mix of USDM civic SI and new city.

[_Cathy_]

Oh yes it does. I meant Kia Soul pala. I don't like the rear at all

I haven't seen a soul, forte, or sx4 on the road though. I like the how new Hyundai Accent looks but it seems like it has a problem based on one of the threads I read.

Kung makakapunta ka sa Festical mall sa alabang bukas, may mga ibat-ibang car manufacturers duon ngayon, nag oofer sila ng mga "all in" na low down payments.

[alwayz_yummy]

ang feeling ko lang sa sx4 crossover na may kits ay: like driving a "rice" car... all look no speed....oh well, enough to "aww" the ricers in my place...

bale sa sx4, 899T standard, ung blinged-out na yan costs 1.018M.... 28T ang standard down, almost 22T ang monthly... well, kaya ko monthly... might say overpriced, pero kung susumahin ko, atleast 1-stop nalang ang pagbili ko ng car at bling... pag standard package--regular prices applies and lto, cmf, compre are not free! kung may ready 899T ako, definitely, i would get the standard sx4 xover or the more popular brands like altis 1.6G/livina 6MT/GE-jazz 1.5V/1.5E city... pero since low-down habol ko..kay i considered these cars...

*mele - negative ako dyan.. layo sa place ko... (tsaka ubos gas yan hehehe)

Do you have 2 wife and 2 kids? hehehe disadvantage talaga yan. heheheh.. may kit na rin palang ganyan sa sx4, before sa swift lang yang kit na yan, it is a Swift Sport kit...

[_Cathy_]

I didn't notice that :rofl:

Ganyan talaga ang mga alwayz_yummy

*mele - negative ako dyan.. layo sa place ko... (tsaka ubos gas yan hehehe)

malayo din ang alabang sa akin, pero almost every week end nanduon kami, hehehehe. mga around 20Km (less than 30 mins typically) one way.

[alwayz_yummy]

highway ka naman na.. sa place ko dito sa kyusi, mabilis sana nga din, kung walang trapik...otherwise, masyado ako malelate at magtatapon ng gas sa traffic hehehe..

[LeBRONghini6]

Ano pa bang mga cars na may low down promo ngayon? I'm planning to buy din kasi
