    Hello guys!

    I just need help, I'm planning to inquire kasi for a small car this December and I'm choosing between the two na lang.
    Kia Picanto and Mirage G4 both AT.

    I can get the Picanto for a down ng 30k and 11k for 6months. (inhouse 'to)
    I haven't inquired yet for the G4 pero so far mas lamang sakin si Picanto.
    I'm also considering Wigo as a last resort.
    And Swift, or anything sa pasok sa atleast 12k monthly.

    Considering:
    *I'm a first-time car owner and buyer
    *Fuel Efficiency
    *City Driving lang, minsan paTaga-Tagaytay lol

    Your replies would be much appreciated guys!
    Thanks!
    Tony, Laguna

    Sir parang hatchbacks yung mga gusto mo, why not the mirage hatch? Its more fuel efficient than the other two

    Yes mas fuel efficient ang mirage pero between the wigo and picanto, hindi ko rin alam ano mas gusto ko =)) sa fuel efficiency hindi naman nagkakalayo yan, piliin mo na lang kung ano mas type mo in terms of looks and feel ng car, try mo test drive yung dalawa

    mirage is overall a better car compared to wigo and picanto.
    1.2l mivec engine na mas fuel efficient sa 1.0l. btw ang ka segment yata ng mirage is vios (subcompact)

    I vote for the Swift. It's pogi, mabilis pero super tipid sa gas, and will definitely cost less than 12k a month if you finance it thru a bank (though of course not quite as low a downpayment as your Picanto offer) without looking like a budget car.

    Disclaimer: I am very biased since I own a 1.2 Swift.

    G4 na lang. You never when when u will need that extra space for luggage. Fuel efficient din naman. Di ko lang alam gano ka reliable in terms of durability ang mga 3 cylinder engines.

    Anyway, if you'll ask me i'd go with either the mirage or swift.

    I was in the same predicament as you before, http://tsikot.com/forums/car-compari...0-dluxe-95795/, I choosed the Picanto. I choosed the picanto because of its price at that time, the fc(14kpl mixed driving, fc is also dependent on driving habits) and its features. I would have chosen the mirage but it was more expensive. If you're gonna buy the wigo, go for the TOTL because the lower variants features suck. They sacrificed the features to lower the price. The wigo is roomier but I already drove the wigo and pica to baguio and I prefer the performance of the pica in going uphill. DONT buy the AT variant of the picanto, it had fc problems before and although those were addressed, it still leaves much to be desired.

    There was this news item some time ago.. The customer went on a rampage against Kia, because the picante he bought, gargled more fuel than what the ads led him to believe..

    depende sa nagmamaneho yan, yung ruta, hangin ng gulong maraming factor kung magpapaniwala kayo sa sinasabi sa papel para na rin kayong kumuha ng batong ipinukpok sa ulo niyo.
