Torn on selecting between small cars

[galaero]

mga tsong, pa-advise sana.. 1st time car buyer of a brand new car here.
my wife and i are choosing between: Celerio, Picanto, i10, Spark. (or other suggestions of the same types?)
Our budget is around that range: <600k. We are picking on A/T.

The things we are considering are: Performance, Safety, Space, Fuel Economy, Ease of Maintenance, Availability (and affordability) of parts. Style and Design is secondary.

seeking your expert advise on this..

Mirage GLX CVT!!! Case closed :D

[dct]

pag maka-adjust pa konti, pwede rin GLS. may 25k discount naman e. so may matitirang 13k

[jaymd]

mirage . kung may m/t

[galaero]

sir basti08, dct,, ito rin ba yung Mitsubishi Colt?
available din ba ito sa Mitsu dealer? para kasi di ko ito makita sa brochures nila.
also, what makes you recommend na ito talaga ang good choice?

newbie here.

mirage po yun sir. punta ka sa site ng mitsu. may brochure na dun. november pa ang release
i think it's a good choice kasi fully loaded na sya. compared to picanto, spark, i10 like 1.2 engine ang mirage whereas 1.0 etong mga to, dual airbags, etc

If I'll buy a small car, it's definitely the Mirage. Pero malamang, magiba yan sa lumabas na Final Specs, patay. ehehe!

If fuel economy is a concern, kindly scrape off the kia picanto AT from your list...

Specially the i10.

I hate to play devil's advocate here but if I have 600k and with such requirements, I would be looking at some used Ford Focus TDCi. It has more than enough space, great fuel consumption (diesel), and proven performance & handling. But given such choices, I will be more inclined to get the Mirage.

Is it still worth it to buy second hand cars? If I'm expecting to use it for another 5 years, worth it pa bang bumili ng 2nd hand na Civic vs a bnew Rio?

for me no. dalawang baha na sa buong metro manila ang naganap, iilan lang ang seller that will admit that it is flooded, mahirap makipagsapalaran. buy brand new kung kaya naman ng budget

A/T below 600k na fuel efficient... parang mahirap.
the only choice you've got sa mga options mo is yung celerio.

but.... at that budget, i'll get a second hand jazz.

Same concern two weeks ago an also same budget..muntik ng vios j tapos sentra gx na brand new...pero naka tsamba ako ng 2011 grand livina totl 550k lang try mo mag tiyaga sa second hand cars lalo na mga mababa resale value like nissan. Hanap ka owner leaving di makakatanggi yanpag nilapagan mo ng cash...hanapin mo 2010 an above para iwas ondoy tsaka may warranty..Ang mga hanapinmo livina,xtrail,ford ata medyo mababa rin...iwas ka pa unang salvo ng depeeciation..

actually, that's a good route as well. 1st round of depreciation talaga ang talo ng bumibili ng bnew. i wouldn't mind being a 2nd owner of a relatively new 2nd hand car.

[oliver1013]

Yep especially yung may warranty pa kahit 1 or 2 years nalang and save like 200k to 300k from buying bnew
