Get a Toyota Vios. You won't regret it.

Prang outdated napo kase ung sa Mazda 2. ung ford fiesta nmn po is futuristic nmn masyado. Worries ko po kase tlaga sa ford is ung maintenance. any idea po if when magpapalit ng model ung mazda. Im also considering na after 5 years prang napakaluma na ng mazda. Un nga lng may parts and free services po kase sila every year na worth 60k for 3 years and free towing for 3 years. saka po kung masisira siya after the said time frame, madali nmn ung parts, while ford. Im not really familiar skanya. I really need you help po

Here's what you do. Firstly, ask your bank why they are limiting your choices to Ford or Mazda? As a client (you) have the freedom to choose whatever car you like, correct? They (the bank) will just finance your purchase, part of it anyway. I'm not really that familiar with bank policies on auto financing so I just wrote in here what is on top of my head.

Now for your first car, you need something RELIABLE. Don't be swayed by the various automatic this, super hi-tech controls that, shift-paddle-hi-speed-electronic-magic, that the sales people pitch on you. REMEMBER that its your car, your money. They are just there to sell you what they have, be it a good car or cheap plastic junk disguised to look like a car... and then its GOODBYE!

Scan thru the forums here in tsikot, read thru the threads of the different brand and models that are within your budget. Then narrow down on the most promising candidates.

I just mentioned a Vios because we have one. From the day (2010) we got it up until now 75,000 +++ kilometers later, all it ever needed was regular Toyota service, a battery, and a set of tyres, that's it. Walang tirik, never pumalya, no abnormal lights flashing on the instrument panel when you're driving, etc. It's that reliable.

Goodluck on your first car.

To be honest I fall inlove with Vios 1.3E m/t. Im really in a tight budget so I go for low DP. I'll simply use the car nmn sa province, fetching my kids from school. Then sa work tapos pagpumapasyal lng around the province. Siguro ndi nmn masyadong often pag out of town. For family use lng nmn po. sobrang taas ba ng FC?
