Subcompact with best ride?

[Redfox20]

Especially in the "beautiful paved roads" of manila, I know that one shouldnt demand much from the subcompact category. You get what you pay for. But im concerned bout my old mother's many physical aches and pains.
So compared to each other, i still wanna know which of the subcompacts offer the best ride in our potholed streets?

fiesta and accent for me

[niky]

Personally feel the Rio has the best combination of agility and suppleness. Sportier, but still supple are the Fiesta and Mazda2. If you want ultra-soft, you're looking at the Almera and Accent... though the Accent is a bit too soft.

With the prices of most subcompacts going over 800k nowadays, the current generation Altis with its big-big discounts would be a better choice in terms of comfort against subcompacts.

Don't consider the ride comfort as the sole basis. Consider also the seat comfort and the ease of ingress-egress for your mother. The ride may be soft but if the seats are not ergonomically good for your mom then she'll still have discomforts as well.

For older folks, I suggest a 2 or 3 year old pre-owned Previa. But prices are still pretty steep. Comfort and refinement should be priority indeed.

How about a Grandis?




2-3years old should set you back around the price of a top end sub-compact but still negotiable.

I just came from baguio and im never bringing the vios on an out of town trip again. Seats are soft,cabin and engine is quiet. But i can feel every potholes and rough roads.

With just 2 kids and 2 adults, mas comfortable pa ang ride ng innova sa pangit na kalsada. Dami pa naman ginagawa sa mcarthur hiway.

You maybe better of with the altis .

who was this gentleman who suggested... for a little more than a TOTL vios, you can get an altis. it's a much better car..
i'm mulling between the vios, almera and g4... but the altis seems to be the dark horse..

Test ride the chevy sonic. Very comfortable ride and seats. Ang sarap i long drive hindi nakakapagod. My wife shares the same observation when she drives from lucena to calamba for her meetings. Not bouncy like our previous honda city. Di masyadong ramdam pag lubak.
