    Hi Sirs,

    I'm thinking of buying a compact car coz I still have a revo and only need one for daily work commute that is fuel-efficient and easy on the wallet, my wife and I were thinking of buying the mirage but its expensive for me, didnt want the chevy coz of parts accessibility and wary of the hyundai ASS stories . Thats why I limited my choices to kia picanto 1.0 Mt or the suzuki celerio and alto.
    The things I prefer in a compact car are listed below.
    Criteria :
    1. Fuel efficient(at least 10km/L for mixed driving)
    2. Budget(590k below)
    3. Features( keyless entry,power windows, rear window wiper......)

    I like the Picanto 1.0 Mt coz of its features(keyless entry,power features etc...) but Im very wary of the FC horror stories of its AT version. I don't like the celerio becoz of its separate tachometer and "bitin" features. Our last option is the Alto 800 w/ is super fuel efficient,cheap although lacking also in features and as my wife says it seems "manipis" . We don't need a sedan( d na kkasya sa garahe pg andun yng revo ). Hope you guys can give your ten cents worth. Thanks in advance.

    2.) 588K SRP as mentioned by Bro DCT. Di pa kasama discount at freebies dyan.

    3.) keyless entry,power windows, rear window wiper......and more!

    Actually, 380 lang yung "Standard".

    If all you need is wheels and an aircon. Ayun na.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Sir I think the Mirage will fit your budget. 590k is 2k more sa GLS MT Mirage.

    But on your choices, I'd take the picanto. Sobrang pogi kasi ng picanto kaso yung FC nga daw eh not at par with the likes of the Celerio, Mirage and i10.

    Correct lang kita sir, since you are going for a Suzuki Celerio GA. Wala pong tachometer to. We own a Suzuki Celerio GL MT, yun yung may tach, bitin na bitin sa features yung Celerio GA. Unlike the Celerio GL kaya hindi ko na masuggest to. Pero kung FC at FC lang ang habol mo. sa Celerio na ako. Sabihin na nating sulit na sulit yung misis ko sa Celerio namin.

    Pero dahil olats na ang GA. Mirage ka na lang sir.

    Safety not part of the Criteria?
    Between the three local spec models, only the Celerio has Dual-Airbags, ABS and EBD.
    The Picanto sold elsewhere is good, but they deleted the safety features on the local model, while the Alto is a dated 90's vehicle underneath, wrapped in modern skin.

    PS: You said you didn't want a Mirage because you thought it was too expensive, but 3 Mirage models actually fit your "below P590K" criteria.
    Mirage GLX 1.2 MT - P498K
    Mirage GLX 1.2 CVT - P548K
    Mirage GLS 1.2 MT - P588K

    Safety features: GLS has Dual-Airbags, while the GLX has Dual-Airbags and ABS + EBD.

    Try to check out all three models (might as well include the Mirage too) and schedule a test drive.

    Sir if I remember it correctly on the GA models, wala na pong ABS EBD ang celerio. I am not so sure if it retains the dual airbags or it just has the driver airbag now. But still the Celerio has an air bag which I doubt that the alto has. The Picanto does not have it. I am positive on this as this was one of the choices I had when I was getting a car for my wife, and we ended up with the Celerio GL.

    But you have a very nice point sir. I hope TS adds safety to his list.

    ganyan kabilis ang celerio? how durable is the suspension?

    between celerio or mirage, which is better? in terms of fc and reliability

    ^^^naguguluhan ako, celerio ba sir nabiki niyo or vtec?

    Baka naman kaya hindi umabot yung fort et.al. dahil naka open windows ka and nakayosi pa.


    Btt: in my honest opinion, I would settle for mirage. Bigger, lots of cool stuff at pagkakaalam ko di naman ganon kalayo presyo ng dalawa.

    FC almost the same and better pa nga ata ang mirage for both MT and AT.

    Kung wala ang mirage sa equation, celerio ako.

    kung kakayanin yung mirage, yun.
    have you also look at the toyota wigo? pasok din yan sa budget mo.
    but on your choices, dun ako sa Picanto.
