Wigo vs Mirage vs i10 (M/T)

[Garry Respuesto]

Hello Guys,

Balak ko pong bumili ng new car, (M/T) and ito po ang mga nakita kong pasok sa budget ko. (1st car)
Gusto ko po sanang malaman ang mga pros and cons ng bawat isa at compare sa kung anung tipid sa gas.
Kahiya hiya na pero 0 (zero) knowledge pa po ako. and ayaw ko po na manghihinayang ako after ko makabili at biglang may magsabi na "Dapat ito ang binili mo"

Makikicheck nalang po ng picture.

Lahat naman yang 3 car na yan ay ok, in terms of tipid sa gas according to other thread ay mas panalo ang mirage. I have an i10 at ang masasabi ko matipid naman ito sa gas depende lang talaga sa trapik, route mo at oras. Pag Sunday drive 10-12kms/liter, pag normal day 8 to 10km/liter at pag hi-way 14-15 km/liter ang consumption (MT po ito). Di ako maka comment sa Wigo at Mirage., but if kung ako bibili pa lang maybe Mirage ang kukunin ko (mas matipid daw according to other forum).

Maraming marami pong salamat sa pagtugon.
Nov. pa po balak kong bumili, and opo base nga po sa mga thread mas maganda daw ang mirage kesa sa wigo.
Kaya ang ginawa ko nag search naman ako kay youtube ng kung anu anung mga review pero murang lumalabas na mas maganda ang i10 compare mirage eto link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQaVrDW9O9k

Ang problema lang daw po sa hyundai ay mahirap ang mga parts if ever na masiraan ako... Tama po ba?

so dapat pala hyundai i10 vs mirage nalang ang ginawa ko hehe

[dct]

^ ok rin ang grand i10 pero mas mahal na. 1.0 nya pwede pang pagtiyagaan yung higher price nya kumpara sa mirage. Pero yung 1.2 nya ang layo na

Sir, kung yung basic maintenance parts like, air filter, oil filter, cabin filter, spark plugs eh napakamura lang and i think pareho lang yung ibang parts ng sa Kia Picanto at ang engine na first generation na i10 ay 1.1 epsilon engine ay katulad lang po ng sa Getz, so matagal na rin ang Getz na tumatakbo dito sa atin. At dun po sa Goodgear ang bilihan ng Kia/Hyundai parts, magugulat ka at ang mura lang ng mga basic maintenance parts. Pag sa casa syempre iba presyo....

I recommend you try test driving your choices.
The driving experience (comfort) might just make the disadvantages seem minor.
Ease of service or maintenance, or casa service performance, might also be considered.

My opinion...
Just standing still, the i10 seems to be the most comfortable. But I am still wary of Korean maintenance and quality issues, borne out of my Korean experience of 17 years ago..
The mirage seemed to me, offered more creature comforts than the wigo. The mirage was also reported to be more fuel efficient than the wigo. The mirage also had reported starting issues in some units, as amplified in the internet (heck! The internet amplifies just about any negative "feature" in cars now..).
But I got a wigo AT anyway, because... It's a Toyota (for whatever real or perceived advantages that would imply), and also because I could not find any internet wigo issues..

After 1-2 years, I will re-evaluate matters and change cars if I feel it is worth the change..

I actually went to the casa, intending to buy an innova.. But there was this minicar selling for half the innova's price... and I actually fit in it!... unlike other minicars previously, where I had to be shoehorned in...

[kapitan88]

since M/T ang pref mo, i'd get Wigo, then use the saved money for gas, at papasyal ako ng south luzon loop, then north luzon loop.

[Erick Chavez]

consider also the re-sale value....

Maraming maraming salamat po sa pagtugon. Everyday q binibisita tong thread at akala q dhil bago lng sa forum kaya walang nagbibigay ng idea.

To be honest po, currently training plang po aq magmaneho... kukuha palang po ng licence kya todo todo po tlga aq s pagsesearch d2 ng mga tungkol sa car na yan.

Ang problema q po sa wigo, kokonti lng ang nkikita q sa daan... dahil ba hindi ganun kasulit sya bilhin? Pero still looking aq sa wigo dhil mura lang at toyota pa... un ngalang mas matipid dw ang mirage s gas pero base s pagkakabasa q ay nsa a/t na thread ang pinaguusapan ndi m/t.

Yung i10 po ndi q tlga malaman ang presyo kung 488k b tlga which is mas mura p sya s wigo G.

Pa share naman po ng exp nyo s mirage 1.2 glx m/t.

Wigo E at wigo G po ba ay malaki ang pagkakaiba?

Hyundai i10 at grand i10 dn po malki din ba pagkakaiba? Wala po kc sa thread nila kung anu ang pagkakaiba. Thanks alot po.

EDIT: opo balak ko na po puntahan bawat isa pra macheck q mismo kung anu maganda pero still looking padin po aq s feedback nyo.


Sabi ng mitsubishi skin mawawala daw ung mga free 3yrs registration q pag sa regular payment aq napunta. Balak ko po kasi mag down ng 150k pra maliit lng monthly ko pero ayaw tanggapin... 20% lng dw tlga ang dp or ipapadaan pdw s regular but no freebies.

When I bought my mirage, it was still a toss up between mirage glx mt and wigo g mt up until the last day.

Reasons I bought the mirage:
The looks of mirage is better. Very subjective subject though.
FC.
Mirage is already 2 years old, compared to wigo which is new. Read: you will have a more general idea of the maintenance cost and issues compared to being the first one to experience it.
Since mirage is 2 years old, you will have more accessories and parts to choose from
1.2 engine vs 1.0 engine
30K discount compared to none for the wigo (note: this 30K bought me insurance since I paid in cash, accessories, rustproofing with ziebart) - if every I bought the wigo, I think I will also shell more or less the same amount
4 stock speakers compared to 2
supposed waiting time for the wigo g
mirage gray mica was available just after 2 days
although wigo feels more spacious, i felt that it just reduced the amount of area between the passengers and the door panels. Avanza is the closest thing i can think of as an analogy.

Some thoughts about my mirage glx
- soft clutch
- very light steering.
- nvh is so so.
- comes with steel rims with hubcaps. not really a deal breaker for me though.
- you come in contact with the knees of your passenger while shifting to 5th gear.
- averages 8-12 Km/l city driving. Full tank method yields 300km per 25 liters. Need to test it more in the highway though so no data for highway fc.
- Can get up to speed very fast.
- 91 ron is the minimum fuel rating
- no abs. Not a deal breaker fror me. At this price range, I wasnt expecting any. Plus, before mirage, I am driving a 20 year old car without any abs or other high tech fancy stuffs. I am not discounting the benefits of abs but my motto is if you learn how to drive without relying on added stuffs, then it can lead you to become a better driver.

Up front, the wigo has more to offer (mags, abs, gps reads navi, etc). But I chose mirage because of the above reasons.
HTH. Happy hunting.

Whichever car you choose, I think you will be happy anyway.

When I chose the wigo, my agent informed me that there was a 6 week waiting time. I don't know if he was salestalking me or not, but I said I don't mind the wait. I have other vehicles to use, and he knows it.. Aba! 3 days later, he calls to say a unit for me had arrived.. That I better get it out soonest, as many of the agents were eyeing it.. When I walked thru the bodega, indeed, I saw only two wigos, against a dozen each, of the other models.. The stickers in my car say it arrived in the country August 18, and I got it 10 days later.
If that long waiting time is true, then it might explain why there are few seen on the road..
I haven't done even 300km yet, so I can't say too much feedback ...

Resale value? I am confident I can sell it later for a good price.. There seems to be a shift into smaller cars now because of fuel costs.. The cheaper the car, the easier to sell..

Btw, after driving vans and innovas for many years, I enjoy this small car's ease of maneuverability and parking!

[Horsepower]

You don't like the vios? The price difference is too small - but you get a full subcompact vs a microcar. Microcars are nice for going around nearby places within the city but I'd be wary of potholes and road defects. Consider also that you might go for a long drive. Cars this small are a pain in the back (because of the short and super stiff suspension).

I also noticed that these cars are rather narrow BUT high. A formula for disaster in sudden maneuvers so check which of these can withstand sudden turns at speed (like the moose test).

Good luck car shopping. Honestly, If I have your budget, I'd save more instead of settling for these (since it's your first car). Are you a dad like me or are you single? Getting married/having children soon? You should also consider those.

Totoo po ba na daihatsu makina ng wigo? Hindi toyota?

[niky]

It's the 1KR-FE... same as in the Toyota Aygo. Don't know if it's being assembled in Indonesia, but I wouldn't fret about it too much if it were.

[crosswind]

Wigo is the thirtiest among the 3
I think

Sa kasamaang palad po at nung katapusan sana ako bibili ng wigo, ok na po sa bank ang masama lang lahat ng tao sa paligid ko (workmate, family and friends) wag na daw bumili ng wigo dahil magaaral palang mag drive.
At eto nga po nauwi sa paghahanap ng 2nd hand na honda.
Ipost ko nadin dito yung post ko sa honda baka po matutulungan nyo ako.


Magandang Umaga po mga taga tsikot. Ask ko lang po kung maganda ba bumili ng honda city 1.3 idsi m/t po sya.
Dami ko po kasi nababasa na sablay daw po yung cvt, e sa totoo po walang wala po akong alam sa kotse. Ang pagkakaintindi ko lang sa nababasa ko ay automatic lang ang cvt kaya sinasabi ng iba na manual ang kunin.
At presyong 200k po ba tama lang sa city 1.3idsi?

EDIT:
2 po pala kasi yung pinagpipilian ko, honda civic sir body 1999 vs city 1.3idsi 2003

your two choices are ok for me. wala akong pintas. just as wala rin akong pintas sa kumpetensiya..corolla.. vios..sentra..lancer..
just the usual universal issues of previous owner maintenance and carnap (!) history..

it is nice to start learning how to drive using a brand new car, so as not to be distracted by malfunction issues of a used car.. but then, that's your call.
happy learning.
