    Hi guys,

    Couldn't help but post this question...

    I'm considering to get a vehicle for Uber / Grabcar and for family use and here are the options I found...

    - Hyundai Accent CRDI / Gas
    - Toyota Vios
    - Mitsubishi Adventure Diesel
    - Isuzu Sportivo Diesel
    - Honda City
    - Previous gen Innova diesel if still available

    Vehicle needs to be durable and efficient.

    Bang for buck and durability are the #1 considerations so I included Adventure and Sportivo.

    Please let me know your thoughts.

    Thanks!

    For 800k, I'd get a brand new Honda City E.

    Check mo suzuki ciaz o suzuki ertiga sir. Nasa price range mo sir yung GL-MT/AT ng ciaz. Well if you want durability, Isuzu crosswind is the best. Diesel na...Pangharabas pa...

    Nasakyan ko na ertiga sir, masyadong mataas ang tuhod pag nakaupo sa passenger seats, i was more comfortable in the older Adventure.

    Thanks for your feedback guys.

    Btw, I didn't mean for this thread to be apples to apples comparison, but more about the possibilities with the same amount of money.

    Are there any changes to the Adventure / Crosswind? Parang wala ata nagbago since 2000s?

    Will you be using the car personally or will it be used exclusively for Uber duties?

    The only diesel AUVs that fit your budget are the Crosswind XL and Adventure GX. Both are entry-level variants with very crude creature comforts (manual windows, anyone?) and no safety features whatsoever.

    Good for pangharabas purposes, but I don't think UberX riders would enjoy it very much.

    Primarily for uberx, to be used as family car when the need arises.

    Take note that Uber only accepts cars up to 3 years old.

    so, any car that reaches 3 years old from original date of purchase from the casa, gets stricken off the list?

    btw, what about the almera? i find the rear leg space very nice. they have a basic 3 cylinder model at 630K .

    I think avanza is better than ecosport. Looks can be deceiving.

    Personally I would never consider the Avanza because it looks so domesticated. It's one of those cars that just doesn't seem to match the personality of millennials.

    The Ecosport on the other hand, though I'm not a big fan of its styling, is a subcompact CUV I can live with if I had to.

    Both cars are too slow for my taste though, and I would trade the lower ride height for the bigger passenger space of a sedan of the same price, not to mention much better handling.

    For business use though, the Avanza makes sense as a no-frills people carrier. Then again, the Ertiga has way more character and is comparatively cheaper.

    Is there an ongoing promo? or is this a special price for fleet buyers?

    I think its because of the brand. Madami parts, madali maintenance. Simple engine.

    May nakausap kami na mekaniko sa mazford. Habang may value daw yung escape ibenta na at wag daw bumili ng escape, fiesta at eco sport. Sobra dami daw problema nung tatlong yun.
