oic... MISS ka pala... hehe...

it's good that you've decided on the Escape! yes, the Rav4 can be a bit harsh and noisy due to the numerous potholes and uneven pavement that we have here.

btw, make sure that you are getting the new one (with the 2.3L engine).

for your sister's dilemma, post it at the car buzz forum...pero my quick reply would be a mazda 3

congrats on your future Ford Escape

dieselclub mods... kindly split the topic...

i'd go with the: Ford Lynx Ghia. here's the list price of the various variatns of the Ghia:

P 667,000 MT, base model
P 705,000 MT, MR, leather
P 732,000 AT, base model
P 765,000 AT, MR, leather

you can save as much as 218K. you can also opt for the Lynx RS with a 2.0L engine. it is listed for P795,000.

all other cars that you listed pales in comparison to the Lynx when it comes to being the best bang for the buck.

the Honda Civic VTI-S A/T is also a good choice too. though rumor has it that a newer model is just around the corner.

for the Mitsu Lancer, here's spec sheet per variant:

MX: cvt, airbag, abs, ebd, backup sensor, leather seats, foglamp, sideskirt, etc
GLS: cvt, airbag
GLX: none

though i'd really wouldn't consider this. looks too weird.

for the Toyota Altis, only the 1.8E would fit in your budget. the 1.8G has some additional goodies, namely: optitron gauges, rear sunshade, 8-way electronically adjustable driver's seat, scuff plates.

but if you want something really new and different... then there's the Mazda3. the Mazda3 V is priced at around P780K.

for your sister, it really depends on 1. budget 2.taste 3.long-term ownership

ako medyo bias ako. honda. high resale value kahit luma na, or toyota.

check the latest price in the market. it depends also on your mileage e. the higher the mileage the lower the value of the car. also, kung stock pa sya, expect higher resale value than those 'tuned' car.

hello again! eto na naman hingi ulit ako ng tulong sa inyo! first let me thank all the people who helped with my SUV dilemma! thanks!
we're also about to buy a new car, and are currently choosing between the following vehicles..

1.) Mitsubishi Lancer MX

2.) Toyota Altis - 1.8 G or 1.8 E (ano difference?)

3.) Honda Civic - VTi-S

4.) Ford Lynx Ghia

what would be the wise buy? we're more particular with the interior and safety of the vehicles, and siyempre sa ride...

also how much can i sell my old car? its a 2000 MX...

thanks again! hope to hear from you guys soon!

ok. first, let me correct something. altis 1.6 e po not 1.8, of course ang difference nila ng 1.8 is the engine displacement, and think of the 1.6 e as a lower notch variant compared to altis 1.8

if you want a wise buy, i'll get the honda vti-s, better yet 2.0 variant. my second vote is the lancer mx, though quite underpowered compared to the other 3. then toyota, lastly ghia. actually i can't spell any difference since they all fall in the same category. hint: get the most powerful engine and safety features that would fit your budget.

thanks

2004 model ay may altis 1.8G at 1.8E..... at tinanggal na yung 1.6G .......meron pa ring 1.6E na nilabas ang toyota.

Toss ako sa 1.8G at vti-s.......... ayaw ko ng Lancer, medyo tagilid ang reputation ng MMC.... Killer car daw yan sabi ng ka-office mate kong hapon dito sa company!

hehehe.peace!

[kpdlr]

hey there! sorry! i just looked at the website and copied what it said there, nakalagay kasi may 1.8 ang corolla altis, it says 1.8 G and 1.8 E..that's why i wanted to know the difference

http://www.toyota.com.ph/model/corol...fications.html

automatic nga pala ang gusto namin...

[kpdlr]

sorry...just had to ask..what do you mean by "killer car"?

[ghosthunter]

From the options, I'd take the Corolla 1.8G if you have the budget for it. The 1.8E model comes with less toys but the same mechanically.

1.8G has the ff:
-power & retractable side view mirrors
-power adjustable driver seat
-assortment of leather trims

Check it here:

[Supierreman]

ayaw mo dagdag sa list mo Mazda 3?

[wreckless]

Altis gets my vote..
but if you'll include Mazda 3..
i suggest you get that.

[ghosthunter]

if you include the Mazda3, my vote goes to that too.

[edzzz]

Mazda 3 or vti-s are my vote

[konde]

try considering the mazda3 before you choose among your first four options.

[kpdlr]

thanks for the replies! i never really considered the mazda 3, although now that you guys mentioned it i guess it'll be worth a look-see...how's the resale value of the mazda? ok ba?

like what ian_rex said, mas maganda resale value ng honda or toyota...ang gusto ko naman sa honda maganda radio! hehehe.

might go car shopping this weekend, got any tips on what to ask the sales persons there?

about the mileage ng mx ko...nasa 24,400 siya...so how much do you think it'll go for? wala rin siyang palit, stock yan lahat...

[ssaloon]

di pa natin masasabi kung ok or hinde ang resale value ng mazda3 dahil bagong pasok lang ulit to sa market, together with the mazda brand.

[mazdamazda]

ask for a test drive - that is the best way to judge and shop for a car.

[kpdlr]

saang website pwede matingnan ang mazda3?
