Need advice: All Base AT Model VIOS VS KIA STONIC VS ACCENT VS MG5

[Sportyboy27]

Among all the Chinese brands the Geely is the most promising & the most value for your money. Geely owns Volvo & tech of Volvo filtered into Geely makes. As for MG, only the badge is British but everything else is Chinese. MG, when still British, used to make sports cars (just google it) & when it was bought by the Chinese, they went mainstream, developing sedans & SUVs but, that is not how MG really is. They also copy designs of other makes (the CX5, for example).

Thank you. As per my owners so far so good pa naman daw units nila. Geeky as per check is using a turbo engine. Well since ako mag babayad Ng maintenance. Nakakatakot na in the long run baka nasira sya.

I'm not a power hungry driver bonus na lang yun for me. Enough na siguro na mabilis akong tumakbo. Haha. Kidding aside check the review on YouTube saw positive feedback. Do you have plans on upgrading to coolray?

If I have to buy a car now at that price range, I’d seriously consider the Coolray. However, no car purchase for me at the moment.

TCCCI or The Covenant Car Company? Bakit ka duda?

di ba sila nag carry ng chevrolet.. maybe that is why....

Yes, exactly

Ah, but did you know the owners of HARI & TCCCI are one & the same?

Sure ka ba dito?

Another reason na naiilang ako sa TCCCI... May website ba sila? Kanina pa ako hanap ng hanap, wala akong makita

Well, halos lahat ng modern diesel-fed vehicles have turbochargers. Never naman naging concern yun as long as you follow proper maintenance guidelines.

I have the same concern with "Turbo Engines"

My wife is due for a new car and as much as I want to get the Territory for her, naiilang ako sa Turbo. It's another part of the engine ka kailangan gawin in the future.

Hence, highly considering the BR-V kaso I feel its a bit dated compared to the available cars today.

As Egan101 mentioned, madami nang turbo engines locally and I don't think my wife's car will reach 100K kms, so I can (personally) take the risk

Madami kang makikitang Hyundai/Chevrolet horror stories, nasa iyo na lang yun if you wish to believe them or if will affect your purchase.

Kahit naman Toyota dealership, may horror stories din.

Most na naka turbo is Japanese brand diesel engine. Since this is a China made car sympre medyo mapapaisip ka din. But yeah I'll check this one na din siguro.

Ayun nga kasi Chinese made na Turbo so medyo may alinlangan ako iconseider sya.

I have two friends na naka chevy so far no problem naman.

Well, almost everything is made in China now. As mentioned, Geely used Volvo know-how in making their cars. Ford and Volkswagen also have some of their models manufactured in China.

Honda’s 1.6L turbo diesel engine (CRV) is made in India but nobody made a big fuzz it ain’t made in Japan. Our Volkswagen Jetta is made in Mexico but it’s still at par with the other Volkswagen made in Germany.

True that a turbocharger requires additional care over a non-turbo engine but it’s our responsibility as owners to take care of them thru proper maintenance. Kung balasubas ka sa maintenance, kahit anong kotse pa yan sigurado masisira yan.

Yes plan to keep the car long as in baka hindi ibenta ganun kasi kami gumamit sa bahay stay till old.

TS plans to keep the car as long as possible.

so I'm thinking 15-20 years from now

Safest bet will be to get the Vios... Even if masira yung CVT nya years later, you can easily buy a surplus CVT sa Banawe (or even convert it to Manual)

Even the head unit Toyota provides is so simple, you can DIY the replacement in the future.

***
As for the dealership horror stories, I posted here earlier (separate topic) on how our company waited for 6 months just to have a replacement hood for a Chevrolet vehicle (may dimple out of the dealership).

I also know people who are very happy with their Hyundais and Chevrolets. Pero those cars were not bought with my money.

Ok naman mga turbo. Just make sure the proper oil is put in and its changed on time.
