    I think hindi magkakalayo: Honda City and Toyota Vios. Even sa gasoline consumption. Kung ako I'd buy me a good second hand car, mga 1-2 years old palang. Laki na kasi binaba ng price coz of depreciation. If you have the moolah, of course go for the brand new. The Honda Civic is a good buy and the Ford Focus Turbo Diesel is something else:D

    Get pre-owned cars, which are mostly "used" cars per se but they usually have some sort of warranty if inspected. I don't know which dealers have this feature, though. That way you can get the low price of a used car but with at least some bit of warranty left.

    Personally, I'd just go for the newest pre-owned with the best price... and fug the warranty. There are lots of premium shops around, nowadays, that provide dealership-level warranties (i.e.: they'll warranty their own work), while providing better service.

    Dealership service is over-rated... you're getting the same level of service, the only upside being that they have Field Service Manuals and the proper equipment. If you go to a premium service shop and they have the same FSM, they can do it just as well as the dealership.

    Personally, I haven't had issues with Ford, but I know a lot of people who've had problems claiming warranty from Ford, Honda, Toyota, anyone! It's not always what it's cracked up to be.

    But that's just me. On some newer vehicles, it's important to adhere to the dealership PMS at least till 80,000 kms, just in case... and do everything else (suspension, brakes, etcetera) outside, to save money. Your basic warranty usually only covers non-wear items and drivetrain... and, unfortunately, due to our road conditions, anything on the underside of the car can be considered a wear item.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    I used to think that way din. But as niky put it, not all Ford vehicles being marketed in the Philippines are the same, since not all of them come from the US. Some, such as the Ranger and Escape, are actually rebadged Mazdas. And the Ford Focus was designed and engineered in Europe.

What you cant do is have it done by an outside shop like Servitek or your suking mechanic.
    OMG! Hyundai has 5 years warranty on their brand new vehicles, meaning 5 years of nothing but casa visits. I think it will be expensive. Is it a good thing or bad thing? Does we consumers get the best out of this deal? Experts, what do you think?

    Sorry, a bit OT...
