November 29th, 2016 11:29 PM #41Going to OP, I hope he doesn't get overwhelmed and information overloaded.
To reiterate, he doesnt know how to drive properly and it will be his first vehicle.
*Gobilamoko- what's the status, have you decided?

November 29th, 2016 11:34 PM #44My gripe with CVTs is so far, afaik, they are not serviceable here in PH. In the off chance that something goes wrong, whether it be by negligence or badluck. Dasal na may surplus na agad ang punta mo. Not saying that conventional AT or Manual do not have their own headaches but at least I feel you have more options on what to do about it.
the diesel Innova 2.8 E might be a good fit, there are probably discounts since Christmas/year end na.
If you are not confident with your driving skills pa the Avanza 1.5G is a good alternative, smaller.

Personally, if I were in your shoes, I'd get the cheapest car that can serve my needs, then focus on saving for a house and my child's education.
A secondhand 1999-2002 CRV should serve your needs well. Around 200-250k, plus repairs of around 50k. Yes it's 15 years old and is pretty thirsty (I get 6 km/L with our 2000 CRV for city driving, 11-12 km/L on the highway). But it's very spacious, durable underchassis, and looks timeless. Whatever you'll spend on incremental fuel use and maintenance is still less than the 16k monthly amortization for a brand new car.

I agree, the Innova is a great choice for long-term ownership. However, TS will have to shell out close to 500k for downpayment to ensure that his MA is under 16k/month.
The Avanza, I'm not so convinced. If you need to ferry 7 people, the BRV is a more solid choice even if it's a bit more expensive, or the Mobilio/Ertiga if you want more affordable options. If you just need the ride height, the Ecosport is cheaper and still looks more respectable than the Avanza. The cheaper 1.3 Avanza is down on power but not more efficient than the 1.5.

Yes, try to save up for the Innova kahit yung J trim and Diesel.
If you want a smaller vehicle then I suggest Chevrolet Trax (since naghahanap ka rin ng alternative from Ecosport). We have both and I regularly use them. pag maramihan na sakay Innova pag dalawa lang kami ni misis yung Trax. and the trax is soooo much fun to drive.

November 30th, 2016 01:30 AM #49I dont care much about image, its reliability Im more concern. They say avanza is cheap and used as taxi but who cares except those with insecurity and wants to be seen as somebody. Its not the ride actually but the driver and how they drive to get respect.
My criteria of a good vehicle:
1. It is utilized as taxi (sign of reliability).
2. Availability of spare parts.
3. Simple design and not so complicated system.
4. Its multipurpose (practical).
5. After market support.
6. Longer production model.
