Please help me and my father to decide

**patrickskid** · January 17th, 2012 11:50 PM

Ayaw po kasi ng dad ko ng elantra, masyado daw pong pang professional para sa isang student. Then gusto kasi nya low monthly, kasi nakita nya ung sa kapatid ko na fiesta ung 99k dp and 13-15 monthly note a/t po ang fiesta nya.

Nearly 6" flat po ako. So ano po sa tingin nyo pasok sa requirements ng dad ko.
TIA

Since ayaw niya ng Elantra, mukhang subcompact din gusto niya.

Pili ka nalang between the Vios, Jazz, City, Yaris, (Accent - wag muna may problema to sa makina), Fiesta (meron na kapatid mo).

Walang problema ang 6" DRIVER para sa subcompact. Pero makakawawa yung mga nasa likod. Since student ka, mukhang mag isa ka lang naman most of the time. Tamang tama na rin.

Well, di namin kabisado ano pa requirements ng mo/dad mo so mahirap mag recommend ng specific model/variant. Tulungan mo rin kami kasi kakaunti lang binanggit mo hehe.

Pagdating sa trunk space, generally walang problema sa mga subcompact. Ang lalalim ng mga trunk nun, minsan kaya pa bangkay haha.

#4 - walang problema. Wala na yatang bagong kotse nahihirapan umakyat ng tagaytay e.

Hmm... Based on #1 and #2, the initial shortlist would be

1.3L Ford Fiesta
1.3L Mazda 2 Hatch/Sedan
1.3L Vios
1.5L Yaris

Baka pwede yung Hyundai i10 o yung Suzuki Celerio/Swift.

Kung gusto mong maging proactive, tumawag ka sa mga bangko/branch/consumer loans division tapos itanong magkano yung minimum DP para sa bagong kotse.

Usually kasi, 20% minimum DP ang mga bangko so tiyak na lalagpas sa 100K DP.

Yung mangyayari naman, sa in-house financing ka babagsak. Usually doon naman mataas ang interes.

Depende talaga. Personally, hindi ko gusto ang low DP, low monthly.

Dahilan? Low DP, Low monthly = High term, high interest rate. Kung kaya nyo naman bayaran, ibayad nyo na. Lalo yung mga 5 years to pay. Once you have the rates the bank/financing is offering, you can do the math and compute which is the best deal for your family.

Med student ka naman ah. Why is the Elantra "too professional" for you? Di kaya "too good for you"?

If you were looking at the Elantra before, then I suppose the budget is more or less at 800k? I suggest you check out the top of the line Accent 1.6GLS Blue instead. There are no issues with this one, you get lots of standard equipment, and it doesn't look "too professional".

Not to mention that this car is very spacious, spacious to the point of rivaling the Honda City.

Go for mazda 6!! Haha dami mo chicks makukuha nun... Ahhhhh memories wahahaha

BI talaga ito si Chunky

Di bale, I'm currently at that stage *kisses my Sonata* :naughty2: hahaha!

I dunno how can an Elantro look "professional".. pano na kaya yun saakin ede "playboy" look na ba? :D Personally, I think that attribute is good once you graduate from school. Get a white Elantra, mod it a bit, wear your suit or a tux and you'd look damn good just alighting the car.

For other options, since meron na kayo Fiesta. I'd recommend the class-leader here -- Honda Jazz. As a student, I think you'll have that urge to modify your own car once you have the funds... you won't have a problem in that department, I assure you.

I recommend the Jazz but may not fit your criteria of low DP. Honda almost never sell their units below 20% DP. The Elantra to me does not look too professional, it looks like a vehicle for college students and young people ( just right for you)

Now this you can get for a low DP. I don't like the Accent though I would rather get the Vios over it.
