Discounted Toyota Altis 1.6G A/T or Newly prized Avanza 1.5G A/T

[tagaisla]

I'm Plan to get new car,me and my wife and 2 kids, seldom used since i work in other countries and my 2 kids just few blocks away from school,expected used just for weekend shopping and go to province for Christmass and Holy week vacations.Guys i need your help to decide...

[toinktoink]

Avanza for me! Roomy and new looks... . People will look on the new model than a 'little' old altis. That's me only.... But of course sundin mo ang tibok ng puso mo.. .

Considering the kids, the Avanza is a winner for you. Better payload than the Altis.

Provincial trips? Mas comfortable yung ride ng Altis, IMHO. But if you're considering the 1.5 Avanza, why not stretch for the Innova instead? It still rides like a truck, but it's got lots of space, and enough weight to keep the suspension settled. The Avanza, on the other hand, is very light, but is sprung to carry heavy loads, so it can get a bit skittish and bouncy... okay lang sa city, but unless you're used to AUVs, it might be taxing on long provincial trips.

There are lots of other cars in your price range, but the only other seven seater as cheap as the Avanza is the Suzuki APV, and that really rides like a truck.

Split the difference... Honda City 1.3 CVT? Amazing fuel economy, huge trunk (at 500 liters, it's over 100 liters bigger than the Corolla's). It's narrower than the Corolla, and rides a bit stiffly, but the fuel savings over the Avanza would be enormous. Plus, 10,000 kms yung service interval niya... which is a plus if you're not there often and can't see to your car's maintenance. My uncle-in-law uses theirs to go to Bicol to visit their farmland. They ride four-up, and always bring back lots of stuff.

Kaya lang, weirdo ang itsura... pero practical talaga. Ibang klase ang tipid sa gas, if you can't afford a diesel car.

outlander na yan, you'll reach your provincial destination in no time!

[vinj]

given the choices, Altis pa rin ako. it'l also hold it's value better than the Avanza IMO. The City seems okay too based on what Niky described.

as mentioned, test both and go where your heart is...

[tagaisla]

salamat sa mga nag reply, i get some idea which one to buy.

[clazzic]

altis na may promo sila ngyn cash discount at zero interest

outlander na yan, you'll reach your provincial destination in no time!

ibang klase si Bimbim, love na love yung outlander ah. :rofl:

the avanza's bouncy.

a sedan fits your profile, unless you're adding more kids.

go with the altis. if you're in a tighter budget, get the rio.

[tagaisla]

Actually i'm incline to get Avanza but due to price increase and discount for the Altis almost same prize but anyway my wife is the one who mostly used so she will decide.Thanks

[Monseratto]

I think the Altis has is better build and crash rating than the Avanza.

[userfriendly]

Have your wife bring your kids to the dealership and see how you fit in the cars, join them if posible. Imagine if the seating capacity and trunk space is enough. Then test drive both cars and see what she likes more.

ako sa discounted altis parin ako ... if you really dont need the back and besides malaki naman trunk ng altis e ! my altis has been with me for 5 years na wala ako rekalmo very very reliable matipid pa tsaka lots of uses talaga ako id go with the altis since 4 lang naman kayo e

[saipeme]

if you're wife will the one to drive...altis is the decent choice, comfort,confidence and presentable in any gatherings...to me auv's/mpv's for ladies its appealing to drive an innova rather than the rest looks cool to them or maybe its just me...

[dbbanas]

il go for altis... pro but ndi mo n na rin itry tgnan ung bagong vios.. since llbas na din sya...

[number001]

Altis is a better choice than the Avanza. The Avanza is an inexpensive vehicle (esp. the Taxi edition) that feels really cheap inside, IMO.

If you really like an AUV/MPV, it is more prudent to stretch your budget a bit and get an Innova "J" VVT-i M/T/.

[j_avonni]

My car is Innova. But between Altis and Avanza, I'd go for Altis.

i'll go for altis. laki ng discount ngayon with lots of freebies pa. ok naman fuel consumption ng altis and comfy naman ride nito. same choices din pinagpilian namin ni misis few months ago. we ended up getting the altis E model last march.

[2slow]

Go for the altis if ok lang sayo na lumang model na yan by next year. Comparing the altis and avanza mas ok ride and build ng altis. Plus if wife mo gagamit mas ok talaga altis

[IMm29]

Go to the showroom so you can test ride and test drive both the Altis and Avanza. Personally, though, I'd opt for the Altis. It's just right for your family of 4, and it's great even for out of town trips. The Avanza offers more flexibility, however, I'm not sure if the comfort will be close to that of the Altis.

If you can stretch your budget, go for the Innova.
