Ford Ecosport VS Toyota Avanza VS (suggestions)

[basatuwinggabi]

Hello,

I'm planning to buy a car and I'm torn between Ford Ecosport and Toyota Avanza (both manual transmission). We have a 1998 model Revo and we are planning replace it (still in a very good condition with just 76k kilometer reading!)

Below are the reasons why I'm choosing between the two though you may still add other suggestions that fits the following needs:
1. It'll be a family car. (max of 5pax)
2. Be using it mostly from work to home, vice-versa. (Ortigas/Makati - Cavite) Though sometimes it will be used for travelling to provinces or out of town like Tagaytay, Baguio, Pampanga, Zambales, Batangas, etc. So basically it is a city car that will be used also for travelling out of town though it will be seldom.
3. Fuel efficient (gas or diesel?)
4. Low fuel consumption (gas or diesel?)
5. High ground clearance (during rainy seasons)
6. Low cost maintenance
7. Long term car
8. Features / Technology (camera, audio system, etc.)
9. Will be using it 2-3 days a week
10. Below 1.8L since having a higher value would just mean more gas consumption.
11. And for the last part, I only have a budget of 900k max.

I've heard good reviews for both cars. Comparing them physically side-by-side, they are almost the same in terms of height, length, etc. or not? The Avanza though has a 7-seat capacity but they say that the back seat is not that spacious enough for an average built of a person? As for the Ecosport, maintenance is costly compare to Avanza well... because it is a Ford?

I'm not really into "looks". As long as it looks like a car though :D
Mahirap na kasi yung masyadong engrande itsura ng kotse, takaw sa magnanakaw. LOL

Should you have any more suggestions please feel free to post them here.
Thanks for the help guys!

I'd choose the Ecosport M/T over an equivalent Avanza, anytime....

It's a no brainer, bro.

This is also my vote. But if I need to stick between the Ecosport or the Avanza, I guess I'll take the latter because of the horrible aftersales service from Ford.

for that budget I'll get a secondhand 2012 Ford Everest or Montero or a 2013 hyundai tucson

I'd pick the Ecosport over the Avanza. Maybe you can also consider some sub-compact cars (Jazz, City, Vios, Accent, etc) but since you are looking for something with higher ground clearance, they might not interest you.

However, if you can extend your budget, an Innova diesel will be a better choice for a family vehicle.

Or wait for the Honda HR-V or Mazda CX-3! haha

Any bad experience from Ford sir? Or heard any? What particular branch would it be?

Ecosport MT. Much more modern vehicle than the avanza

[Newcomer123]

Innova E m/t in diesel. Better power and torque, and class leading space

Coming from a Revo, both of your initial choices will feel too cramped. But if you can still muster another 300k, go check out the MUx m/t

[Ry_Tower]

I'd get the Ford Ecosport Trend MT version.

[lowslowbenz]

Ecosport for me too.

Ertiga din. Pero pag etong dalawa lang ecosport MT. Not AT

[victorevolution]

to the ts, yung avanza ay inaayos na ulit ng toyota for a new all design kasi nilampaso siya ng ertiga sa s.e. asia and india

kung ecosport, the mt would do but too expensive, no mid aricon plus ford legendary problematic casa plus mas mahal yung mark up price for pms even for a gasoline engine- basing it on the fiesta pms (i own a ford vehicle a full size suv 2012)

sa suzuki maganda yung warranty claims and service(i also own a suzuki vehicle 2011)

pag chinecheck ko auto ko for pms sa ford ala todo attire ako parang hearing sa court para di nila ako magago(and ang alam ko lang magandang casa sa ford is alabang the others are all crap) samantala sa ibang casa like chevy or toyota or suzuki i don't need to do that all are courteous kahit naka tsinelas lang ako may pumapansin.

Ecosport on this one.

That's what I think so too.. "Ford" eh.
Ganun? May discrimination sa Ford? LOL
How much difference is the maintenance of Ford vs Toyota? Mga 30% difference ba?

Yung suzuki ba, maganda ba yun (brand)? I mean, is it japan base ba?

40percent higher than a toyota like vios vs. fiesta parang diesel maintanance ng accent ang babayaran mo sa ford.

have you heard any problems sa suzuki except the low resale of the apv and kizashi which i point out is normal for their segments, the jimny has a very high resale value.

suzuki ertiga is made in indonesia, it is tough way better than thai manufatured vehicles, the jimny, grand vitara, sx4 and older swift version were all japan cbu hence expensive and less toys due to tax ramifications

sa indian himalayans madami kang makikita na celerio at alto and ertiga nakikipag sabayan - way higher and dangerous than baguio- toughest of the tough roads.

drawback ng choices mo para sakin is space... i am never meant to ride in a very small luv. hanngang mpv-or higher lang ang rear end ko

funny though im(was) thinking of buying either an ecosport mt or ertiga as a gift for my brother, studying in lasalle taft..... para di na sumabay sakin asar traffic diya eh.... umayaw naman condo na lang daw

As a family car, the Avanza G is a good choice at 837k - spacious, torquey engine, higher ground clearance than subcompacts.

The Ecosport Trend is also a good car with more toys than the Avanza, but with less space. If you'll be carrying 5 people often, the Avanza is a better choice. The MT Trend at 825k is the best buy variant because it's feature-packed and doesn't have the transmission problems of the dual-clutch AT models.

If you can live with no features (not even power windows), Innova 2.5J is the best family car for your budget. At least it still has ABS and airbags which for me are more important than creature comforts.
