Hello all,

My husband and I have been contemplating on replacing our existing car, budget is not more than 900k should we decide for a car or not more than 1M if we go for an AUV/MPV. Our choices (for now) are:

1. Innova E DSL but after reading the D4D thread, we are now not that sure if it's the right pick, our doubts for the vvti model is it's FC, we got no clue.
2. Altis 1.6G M/T
3. Civic 1.8V M/T

We have a 1 year old daughter, my husband works overseas so I am the driver most of the time. House to my office is around 7kms one-way, workshift is at 11am to 8pm. Long distance drive maybe 3-4x a year only.

Considerations (in no particular order):

1. Size (the bigger the better! :D) read: it would have been better if it will seat around 7 passengers but can be sacrificed (for now) as there's just the 3 of us (if my hubby is around) plus 2 kasambahay

2. Fuel Consumption and maintenance cost

3. Safety

4. After sales service

Would very much like to hear all your thoughts. Thank you very much in advance!
