Ford Focus TDCi kung may mahahanap ka pa. Tipid niyan. Diesel pa.

Kung wala, Altis 6MT. Yan kaya 10-11km/L depende sa traffic.

So, that will be 40km daily and about 300km weekly. Assuming 2k weekly gastos mo sa gas, that's about 40L kung P50/liter ang gas. That would average your fuel consumption to 7.5 km/L. It's not as efficient as it is supposed to be. Kung may extra lakad ka man sa weekend, maybe summing up to around 350km weekly so that would average to less than 9 km/L fuel consumption.

I drive about 50km daily. I get about 6-7 km/L on a 2001 2.3L Accord AT and about 10 km/L on a 2009 1.5L City AT. Minsan, 1.3L Jazz 2009 AT gamit ko and I get about 9 km/L on it.

1. Elantra - Top of the line 1.8GLS Model. 6 Speed AT, Steering Wheel Audio Controls
2. Civic - Lowest End na 1.8S AT - 5 Speed AT
3. Focus - Mid Range 1.6L Trend - 6 Speed, Steering Wheel Audio Control, Hatchback or Sedan
4. Altis - 1.6V - 4 Speed AT, Steering Wheel Audio Control
5. Lancer - Mid Range 1.6MX - 4 Speed AT - With GPS/Sat navigation, Steering Wheel Audio Controls

Kung masaya ka sa Toyota, and wouldn't mind the bland design and 4AT, mukhang your safest choice would be Altis 1.6V. Reviews also indicates that you can easily achieve 10KM/L on light to moderate traffic (City) Driving. Next to that would be Lancer MX which comes with GPS Navigation, in a more aggressive design. Although Toyota beats Mitsubishi on NVH insulation.

Based on reviews, Civic struggles at 9KM/L moderate traffic.

I have an Elantra GLS which have all the toys I need except for GPS, but at best, I can only do 9 KM/L on moderate Mandaluyong-Makati traffic. Hyundai PMS schedule of 3 Months or 5000 KM, whichever comes first is also a bummer.

No idea about Focus though . . . the 2.0L is a very good car, complete with all the toys, pero very limited pa ang mga feedback na nadidinig ko . . . there's a Focus Sedan at the condo, pero it doesn't look that good.

If that's the case, then compared to VIOS, mas matipid pa pala yung Elantra GLS ko which can do 9KM/L purely Mandaluyong-Makati traffic . . . as in tawid lang ng Mandaluyong bridge to Makati Business Dristict . . .

Kumpanya po magbabayad ng repairs and maintenance.
So gas lang talaga ang cash out ko.
Ano difference ng altis sa vios at ng altis sa civic bale?

I suggest you go for SUVs or AUVs, iwasan mo na ngayon ang sedans... uso na ang baha ngayon at especially sa Bulacan areas. I suggest you go for diesel cars...no matter how high the gasoline price goes...diesel is always below.

Don't be afraid of diesel cars especially sagot ng company mo ang PMS. Just follow the PMS and no problem with jurassic diesel engines.

If your a cool & easy driving guy, I recommend to you Mitsu Adve & Crosswind. Mabababa ang FC ng mga eto at subok na subok na ang makina lalo na ang sa adve na 4d56. If family outing, kayang kaya ng dalawang ito. BTW, I have an Adve 2011. FC is 16km/liter sa hi-ways * 60-80km/hr. and 11.8km/l sa mixed drives(hiway & city traffics) * ave. 80-120km/hr speed. My top speed is 145km/hr...May ibubuga pa up to 4000rpm but I already stop due to nerbyos...hehehe.

If your an aggressive and speedy driver, then I suggest you go for Strada or Montero. Malakas humatak at mabilis reaksyon sa overtakes. Panis pa ang baha at pwedeng pang-bundok (offroad). Sa FC, matipid din sila gaya ng Adve. Sa engines, mga jurassic engines ang mga ito. In short SUBOK na SUBOK na ang design at alam na alam ng mga mekaniko.

Don't go for sedans... bahang lampas pa lang ng sakong eh...nerbyosin ka na agad.

Anyway, the final choice is yours...good luck. Thanks.

I'd suggest the Kia Carens CRDi. 899k for the 6MT, 949k for the 4AT. This one is widely popular in Europe and for good reason. Napakatipid at napakatulin neto. Since diesel siya, less P10/L ang gas mo. Ang tipid pa niya uminom, I'd estimate a range of at least 8-10km/L in city driving, depending on transmission choice, driving style, and traffic conditions. The best part is kayang kaya makisama sa 2.0L compacts performance-wise, and yet still seat more people and consume much less.

Since CRDi eto, mas mahal nga ang maintenance. Change oil every 5000kms, mas maraming oil ang inilalagay at mas mahal ang ibang piyesa kumpara sa gasoline engines. But then kumpanya naman ang babayad at minsan lang naman ang maintenance.
