    Mga bossing, 1st time ko pa lang mag kakaroon ng car at gift ko na din sa family ko this December.

    Ang choice ko AT para hindi mahirapan mag drive si misis pag sha ang gagamit ng car.

    Ang budget ko asa range ng Toyota Avanza 1.5G AT (Php 843,000) or ung Kia Soul 1.6 LX (Php 899,000)

    Maganda naman ang nakikita kong offers for DP at reasonable ung monthly na 3 years to pay.

    Pero hirap pa din ako mag decide.

    Pwede sana paki share ung mga pro at cons ng both cars.

    The Avanza has a 3rd row seat. The Soul has none.

    Personally, I like the Soul more. However, if you need an extra space, might as well set yourself with the Avanza.

    Pero may bagong Avanza na rin na lalabas.

    Thank you po sa quick reply, actually ung 3rd seat din ng Avanza ang medyo practical para mas madami makakasakay.

    Ung bagong Avanza meron po ba kayong info kung kelan po sha magiging available, maybe its worth to wait.

    No idea about the release date of the new avanza. But pictures are up. May thread na dito nun..

    Not considering an Innova? Or a Grand Livina perhaps?

    Hindi na po kakasya sa garage namin pag lumagpas ng 4.2m ang haba.

    Nag read po ako ng mga post sa Avanza Club, meron sila dun discussion sa engine problems, ung RPM daw ng Avanza taas baba. Pero maganda naman ung group kasi helping each other a car problems nila.

    Naghahanap din me ng mga post sa Soul, pero mostly pro ang nababasa ko, expected naman siguro kasi konti pa lang ata ang naka soul, at since 5yrs ang warranty ng soul baka kaya nde gaanong napo-post ang problems kasi under warranty pa din ang mga units.

    If this would only be your car, then get the Avanza since it seats more than the Soul, if not then the Soul is a good choice.
    You may opt to wait for the new Avanza though, malapit na ilabas yan as it has been seen on our local roads already.

    If your open to the idea of purchasing a second-hand car, then you can take a fairly new 2008-09 CRV (4x2 or a 4x4).

    yung idea na 2nd hand car ok sana, para mura ang cash out (or one time payment)

    ang fear ko lang, wala naman ako kakilala na mechanic na reliable or kung sa ilang oras na pagtingin sa car ay masasabi na good buy, baka later on sa maintenance naman mapunta ung natipid ko, plus baka ang mabili ko e ung flooded car.

    So I rather go with brand new kahit me kabigatan sa price.

    1st week ng Dec ang uwi ko sa Pinas (OFW ako) and I was hoping a car would be a good gift for me and my family.

    For family use my vote goes to Avanza.
    Ang problema lang ay palabas na ang new model na mas maganda ang outside look (subjective) at mas magandang interior. Also expect some discount on the old model avanza kapag lumabas ang bago so I think it's worth waiting.
    Kung ok lang sa yo na mukhang luma agad ang unit mo pag labas ng bago maybe early next year (my own guess) then go for it.

    I'd rather get the Avanza instead of the Soul since the interior space matters more than the exterior design for me.

    Grand Livina is also a good option. Very roomy inside and strongly-built.
