    If it is an everyday car, I'll go for a hybrid. The added price will be negated by fuel efficiency and its utilization.

    agree


    BR-V - not a fan pero these are my reasons...

    Honda Badge = if you're not getting a Toyota, I guess Honda will provide the next best local support. L15 engine has been used since the previous Gen City (I think even longer).
    It has Sensing... imagine 5 years later and you realize your car is not an EV/Hybrid... at least you have ADAS

    You can get a TOTL car (kaso the drivetrain is entry level
    yeah i kinda like br-v also, mostly coz of honda reliability. only the totl br-v has curtain airbags and sensing, but costs more than base corolla cross which also has curtain bags but lacks adas. at the end of the day the br-v is still just an asean car


    If it is an everyday car, I'll go for a hybrid. The added price will be negated by fuel efficiency and its utilization.
    as mentioned the office is 1km away. hybrid cost will never get recouped

    Okay lang sa kanya ang footbrake ng Corolla Cross?

    CX-3 parang same space lang sa Raize at Stonic.

    For 1 Km commute, okay ang Jimny, CX-3, Raize, Stonic, Wigo, Brio, City RS HB, Yaris Cross, HRV.

    no specific requirements it'll be just for getting to work everyday, just 1 person in the car, 1km distance from home to work. they've got other cars.

    i'm suggesting honda city or corolla but i think he wants to get another "crossover" coz it's the fashionable thing LOL it doesn't flood at all where he lives

    so the options are the ff. no hybrids btw coz those are BS. not in metro manila so no coding benefits. no turbos. no GDI.

    1) corolla cross
    2) yaris cross
    3) br-v
    4) hr-v
    5) creta
    6) tucson
    7) CX-3

    seltos (KX3) is interesting but seems to be a flop. raize and stonic kx1 are too small
    not to be an ass but, at that distance of only 1km, and its only 1 person, maybe consider getting an electric scooter instead?
    kawawa din sasakyan nyan, extreme short distance driving. engine barely gets to stretch... severe driving condition yan.

    anyway, does your brother treat his car like an appliance or does he enjoy driving? If the former, he can't go wrong with the corolla cross or yaris cross.

    yeah i know the car gets short-tripped like all the time tapos ayaw pa nya mag 6mo OCI, gusto nya 1yr or more kasi low mileage naman daw haha

    btw the car also gets driven on short errands, groceries and stuff. occasional weekend short trips on expressway like 50km one way, so it can't be a small car like Brio

    ok lang foot brake

    you're right about cx3 it's small and very old by now

    Ah ok. Ok na nga ang.
    1. Corolla Cross
    2. HR-V
    3. Yaris Cross
    4. Creta

    Given na 1Km commute, baka pasok sa electric only range ng Kicks? Less wear sa ICE?

    Short trips...yikes! 1km, I'd walk or bike.
    The CX3 may be small & old but that's tested reliable & the most fun to drive amongst the choices given....the best driving Mazda next to the Miata.[emoji4]

    For 1Km ride everyday. hehe good luck recuperating that investment in the hybrid.

    Better get an MC or bike na nga for me. Tutal may "other cars" in case na maulan.
