    hi guys,

    my wife is planning to buy her own car months from now so i decided to start researching which car will best fit her requirements:

    here are her considerations:

    1) most economical in terms of FC - route will be Bacoor - Coastal - EDSA - Ortigas - C5 - Eastwood
    2) she'll be using this every single day and most of the time she'll be the only passenger (so ok lang kahit maliit)
    3) reliability since she does not know much about cars and gabi ang work hours nya (takot siya)
    4) gusto nya automatic
    5) aftersales support
    6) bonus if may side repeaters (hahaha... oo, major consideration nya ito)

    we are currently comparing the following

    1. 2012 1.3 City
    2. 1.6 Ford Fiesta Sedan
    3. Hyundai i10 - kaso marami feedback na hindi rin daw ganun katipid - not sure if may repeaters
    4. 2012 1.3 E Toyota Vios (not sure if may repeater ito)

    sabi ko sa kanya... we'll look for the one with the most economical FC then if walang repeater e saka na lang kami pakabit ng repeaters... suggestions... anyone? you can throw in other car brands/models rin pala if you want

    You can't go wrong with either Vios, City or Jazz. Diesels will be your next option aside from these 3.

    Honda Jazz or City should be the best choice for your wife.

    Gusto mo ng fuel efficient and reliable A/T car that's very economical in all aspects? Get the Isuzu Crosswind! And it has side mirror turn signal repeaters too! Not to mention napakasecure magdrive ng ganon since you will not be bullied in the open road, have an excellent view of the road and you are not afraid of floods or of rough roads.

    Yes.. that is if TS wife will like the handling of this AUV. Nasabi ko kasi about 2 years ago a friend of mine hurriedly sold his AT Crosswind because his wife always cursing this AUV every time she is in the driver seat. When the transmission started to go hay wire... crosswind was sold, replaced with Dubai version Prado. Ngayon umaangal naman sa gas consumption

    Haha~ Its not that hard... I remember seeing women driving manual transmission Revo's, Adventure's, Crosswind's and even L300's. But... what do you mean by the transmission going haywire?

    suggestion lang po. para mas econimcal ang byahe nya, dapat ito ang route nya:
    BACOOR - COASTAL - AIRPORT ROAD - NICHOLS - C5 - EASTWOOD.
    or
    BACOOR - SLEX - BICUTAN EXIT - LOWER BICUTAN - C6 - MANGGAHAN FLOODWAY - SANTOLAN PASIG - EASTWOOD.

    Vios period. or lipat kayo Ng bahay to Eastwood hehehe.

    Tried and tested ang vios... Di ko mapatay kahit lag lag ko every pothole and for pushing my neighbors car away when it's parked in my slot...

Best car now for city driving in terms of FC
