[kamotekid1968]

gusto ko sana humingi ng advice regarding dito sa tatlong units na ito. considering na magkadikit ang prices nila..ano mas maganda in the long run. usually gagamitin ang sasakyan pamasok sa office, church every sunday at minsan out of town. youe inputs will be highly appreciated. thanks!

Write the Pros and Cons of each car then schedule a test drive...

Mirage has CVT so you get the convenience.
Brio has the better engine (sorry, haven't driven the Dual VVTi Vios)
Vios has a good reputation + size

Personally, I hate the Mirage rear seats...

So Brio vs Vios for me, Vios is bigger (although the missing safety features is hard to ignore)

*kamotekid1968 - what's your budget? If you can spare a bit more to get around 800k, you have far more options to choose from. Between the three listed choices, the Vios J is more practical with its space compare to the 2 other smaller options.

thanks sir *ice15 and *Egan101

G4 - fuel consumption: 1.2L 3 cylinder MIVEC
Vios - power and reliability: 1.3L DUAL VVT-I
Brio Amaze - the brand speaks for itself (pamorma): 1.3L SOHC I-VTEC 16-valve

options are:

Mirage G4 GLX CVT * 680k with a discount of 75k
Toyota Vios J M/T * 637k with a discount of 20k
Honda Brio Amaze E M/T * 634k with a discount of 20k

almost dikit sa digit ang presyo pero ang mirage ay naka-matic na plus may alarm, immobilizer, power windor, central lock unlike sa Vios J (next sa Base Model) na power window lang. considerations: reliability, FC, maintenance cost, parts availability in the market.

btw: i own a mirage 2015 hatchback before pero sinawing palad kaya eto hanap hanap...ayaw na ni misis ng hatchback so i'm leaning towards a sedan type na pwede kargahan ng madami sa likod minsan minsan lang...will be used pamasok lang sa office 5 days a week mga sir. thanks for the quick response. more power!!!

Which Mitsu dealer is giving this 75k discount? Sa lahat ba ng mirage/g4 applicable ito? I'm also on the same scenario and considering avanza J or ertiga GA for higher ground clearance. Appreciate your feedback from current owners as well. Thanks guys!

sir *spamdesal, it depends actually sa Sales Agent kasi yung agent ko na kausap is dati kong agent sa mitsu nung kumuha ako ng 2015 Mirage Hatchback GLX CVT.

[spamdesal]

Sir *kamotekid1968, thanks for the feedback! Is the mirage g4 glx cvt already have all power windows and with fog lights? i wasn't able to check as there was no available unit yesterday. Also, SA told me that HU is touchscreen, but can't confirm. Anyway, have you decided which car would you be getting soon?

So para sayo ok na ba performance ng Mirage? O nakakapusan ka pa sa hatak?

I'd go for the Vios, especially now with the new engine. No problem with parts and maintenance. Solid resale value too. If it still had the old 2NZ engine, I would have suggested the Brio. But I find the Brio Amaze's looks a tad unappealing...

G4: Tipid Sa Gas Matic na din
Vios: Reliable, Mas malaki din
Brio: Honda yan kaya pang porma.
kung gagamitin mo pang ofc.. G4 k n lang paps matic di ka pagod sa traffic. tipid pa sa gas!

[Egan101]

The Brio maybe a Honda but "porma" is not something you can think of when you see it. A Civic or Accord perhaps can be a "porma" car.

Typical post from fb yan bro. Hahaha

[kagalingan]

Wala ako mapili sa choice mo.

Kung kaya mo pa konting dagdag ito maganda.

Mazda 2 skyactiv s 4dr MT
748,000

City 1.5 E MT
PHP 764,000.00

Yaris 1.3E M/T 736,000

Nissan Almera 1.5L E MT
726,000



Try mo din inquire price baka makadiscount ka malaki kasi pag manual trans like mazda2 and yaris hindi mabenta. Pero sa honda city ewan ko kung makadiscount ka pero try mo.

Oh really? I didn't know that as I'm not on FB. It's just that the Brio/Amaze doesn't have that aesthetic value of sorts. Even the City/Jazz doesn't have that distinction for being pretty but they are very good and practical urban cars.

beauty is always in the eye of the beholder, po. if you find it beautiful, then it's beautiful.
otherwise, why would we have beauty contests at all?

thanks sir *dr. d, been very helpful ;)

Hindi ba hirap ang Mirage pag paakyat sa mga slopes?

Hindi, basta tama ang gearing.
Kahit ano naman sasakyan mahihirapan pag mali ang gear

I don't think there are any modern cars that will have difficulty climbing slopes as may be found in Baguio anymore. You may have to thrash it a bit to overtake trucks though, especially if fully loaded.

Kung may pandagdag to 700+k, I'd suggest the Accent CRDi. Paltan lang ng rims maganda na. It's so fuel efficient, coupled with lower fuel cost of diesel it puts hybrids to shame. The engine is so good I'd overlook the lack of gimicky amenities. The basics are there naman.

if it goes beyond php700k mukang malabo na...medyo tight ang budget eh...pamasok lang araw-araw sa work at pangchurch every sunday with kids and in-laws. mirage G4 is on top of my list and made a reservation already. hopefully walang maging issue sa CVT tranny as i heard "some" stories about the mirage cvt not reving up all of a sudden kahit anong tapak mo ng selinyador. gusto ko sana yung manual variant kaso sa tindi ng traffic sa amin, mukang out of the equation na ang manual tranny. usual route is Novaliches Bayan to UP Ayalatechnohub lang everyday so sana kasing tipid din nito ang dati kong mirage hatchback na CVT din. thanks sa inputs nyo and just keep it coming i inquired sa Mazda 2 Skyactiv S kaso wala daw stock ngayon nationwide at medyo over nadin sa budget though maganda talaga kahit panlabas lang nakikita ko sa mazda 2 ng kapitbahay namin.
