    Mirage for me. I can live with the recall. Its to be expected from a new model. Atleast mitsubishi is.decent enough to admit manufacturing or design fault.

    Fuel consumption based on feedback is superb.
    Given that the mirage is almost everywhere, give it about a few years and spare parts will be everywhere.

    The only downside i see if i were the TS is the drastic change in space coming from a crv to a mirage.

    The SPARK is a bad choice. I have test driven it and the rear hatch rattles over rough roads. It feels underpowered with either the 1.1 and 1.2L engine options. IN fact the 1.2L feels worst than the 1.1L engine because of the huge dead spot in power delivery right in the middle of the powerband. The motorcycle styled guages might look stylish but it just feels cheap to me, not enough even to provide decent proper gauges. And this does not yet include Chevy's history of expensive parts, much more expensive labor charges and extremely long wait times for regular parts.
    Yes, that's why if I were to buy a Mirage, I would go for the top of the line. Anyways, if I were to buy any of the aforementioned cars, I would like to have the top of the line manual.

    When did you test the Spark? Expensive labor charges and parts are also the words of my father. I though those were already a thing of the past since I can see a lot of chevy cars here in our country nowadays. Can someone confirm please?

    Yes, at least Mitsubishi has a great after sales customer service. I've heard rumors about a certain car manufacturer not admitting problems about their famous car. ehem Toyota.

    That was what I was thinking. The last time we went to Suzuki, I sat in the driver seat of the Celerio and I cannot even close the door! It's like I'm being suffocated inside. It was too cramped. I know I'm just feeling it because I am used to the spacey and roomy driver seat of the CRV, but I know I'll get used to small cars too. I'm not that big anyway )

    One tiny thing that I don't like about the Mirage is that people are buying it like it's a Vios. I consider Vios as the people's car. Almost everyone has a Vios. It's so common that it made the car look bland. But I like the 2013 Vios that was announced in Thailand. It looks awesome! )

    1st choice: Mirage
    2nd choice: Celerio
    3rd choice: i10

    But if you're willing to spend a little more, why not go for the Accent HB crdi manual? It's diesel, manual and pogi

    Thanks sir! YES! I really love the Accent HB. The first time I saw it I cannot believe it's an Accent. But the Accent HB is too expensive. I think it's around 890k php which is almost 300k more than the vehicles that I mentioned which are around 500k-600k only )

    If I were to order a Mirage now, what is the average number of days before it will be delivered? Also, does the GLS MT come with all the body kits (spoiler, front chins, side skirts, rear extensions) and chrome trims? or are those just options? If they're options, around how much would these cost? thanks a lot!

    The manual is 768K but since you have a budget, sige wag na hehe!

    If you like the Spark, the new model will arrive (or baka meron na) soon. Maganda yung interior. Nabasa ko sa isang yahoo news article that's in the top 10 inter terms of interior design hehe!

    and Mirage has really good Safety Rating too maporma ang Mirage and you only need to replace its shoes and youre good to go hehe.

    Dunno if youre interested but i saw a 2nd Hand 2012 Suzuki Swift on Sulit at below 600k with casa records., so basically it still has the dealers 3 year warranty. and you can also check 2011 or 2012 2nd hand cars as long ba checked it thoroughly... kasi may mga good deals naman especially kung 1 yr old plang or something hehe.

    yung new model kaya ilalabas dito sa atin? pero seryoso ang ganda na ng interior ng Spark. medyo hindi ko lang trip yung bilog bilog dun sa dashboard

    ang hirap na kasi bumili ng 2nd hand ngayon eh. iba pa din talaga kapag brand new. walang problema sa maintenance. by experience kasi sakit ng ulo inabot ko nung bumili ako ng 2nd hand na GSR. although napaayos ko naman siya in tip-top condition, ang laki nga lang ng nagastos ko. Pero I'll try to look at the Swift. hehe thanks bro!
