Wigo vs Mirage vs i10 (M/T)

**dr. d** · September 13th, 2014 09:45 AM

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!

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?

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.

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.
