Need advice--- Bnew car. budget 900k, 1M super max

[chadman4]

Tsikoteers, tulong naman...
Bibili ako ng kotse ngayon budget ko ay around 900k-1M. Tapos A/M din sana.
Ang pinagpipilian ko ay Hyundai Accent, Elantra, Toyota Altis, Honda City, Honda Civic, Lancer 1.6, Ford focus, ford fiesta.

1. Kung ang gusto ko na fuel consumption ay at least 10km/l city driving, ano ang pasok?
2. Ano ang madaming features? At ano yung mga features na yun?
3. Ano para sa inyo ang safe na kotse?
4. Ano ang ma-porma?
5. Alin ang spacious?
6. Kung vios 1.3 A/T, around 8k a minth gastos ko sa gas a month. Assuming same distance Lang byahe, magkano kaya gagastusin ko sa suggested car nyo?

>>> kung may maiiisip kayo na ibang sasakyan na pasok sa items 1-5, isama ninyo na din please.
Nag iisip din kasi ako kung may ibang sasakyan pa. Kung may kasya sa budget ko na malaking sasakyan mas ok siguro basta ok FC.

>>> vios 1.3 A/T kasi gamit ko now. Gusto ko sana kasing fuel efficient ng vios kahit papano para hind mag shootup ang gastos ko sa gas.

MARAMING SALAMAT PO!!!

everything you said points to the Lancer 1.6 MX

Kamusta ang FC nyan compared to vios na 1.3? would you know?

[dr. d]

but why are you shifting away from the vios? except for the maporma and space, it seems to answer your requirements..

Sa budget na 900K to 1M, pasok sa iyo, ranked per engine power, based on paper, all with disc brakes, ABS, EBD, Airbags, etc:

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.

What's the difference between 4at, 5at, 6at etc?
Also, kumg compared to vios na 8k a month gastos ko sa gas, estimate mo how much gastos kung elantra o altis?

[Egan101]

If you're good with owning an older model car, then the Focus TDCi might be a good choice. I can still see ads of Ford dealers selling this model for just above 1M brand new. Good handling and performance coupled with the fuel efficiency of a diesel.

*chadman - 8k a month gas expense for a 1.3L Vios? That's about 2k a week for gas. How far do you drive each day?

From office to house 1way, 20km.
Tapos once to twice a week hatid sundo ko si gf sa meycauayan bulacan, siguro +50km yun round trip na.

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.

Ano difference ng altis sa vios at ng altis sa civic bale?

compared sa vios definitely mas maganda ang ride quality ng altis. Mas malaki ang altis saka madaming features ang altis v. Keyless entry may mga sensors etc. Kung baga sa ano top of the line na para sa low price nito ang ayaw ko lang eh magpapalit na siya next year.
Civic medyo mahal at malakas lang ng kaunti sa altis ang fuel consumption pero definitely mas masarap i hataw. Mas matigas ang suspension and recently na discover ko na mababa ung air intake so mahina sa baha he he he. Mas matigas ang mga upuan but spacious. 5 speed din ang automatic nito compared sa altis na 4 speed.
I have both the 9th gen altis and the 2012 honda civic. Pag gusto ko hataw sa civic pero pag gusto ko ng comfort driving ung altis he he he.

[cocoy_01]

will the mx really get good figures? i understand this is a new engine from mitsu.

[chadman4]

Bibigyan kasi ako kotse ng kumpanya and bawal ang Vios kasi hindi pasok so safety standards (di ko na tinanong bakit). Di ko alam rason.. So yung sa taas lang choices ko.
Although libre maintenance, repair, etc, pero gas ako sasagot.

Kaya kahit papano, I'm looking for a car sana na ok din FC.

[altec]

kung sagot ng office ang PMS, how about diesels? Strada, ayaw mo? At least mas ok pa yan sa mga baha kaysa sa mga kotse.

Ok lang naman kahit diesels basta pasok sa budget.
Ano ba downside ng diesel compared to gas?

Tsaka baka lalo lumaki gastos ko sa diesel baka malakas kumunsumo?

maingay. mas mabigat (translate: mas malaki ang sasakyan).
diesels are generally more fuel-efficient then gasoline cars.. more flood-resistant..

4AT short for four speed automatic, 5AT for 5 speed automatic and 6AT for 6 speed automatic.

Kung similar route, just multiply 8000 x (vios' FC / other car's FC)

Anong masama sa 4AT? Mabagal?
