Most inexpensive vehicle with ABS?

[OTEP]

I'm just curious as to what is the most inexpensive brand-new vehicle in the market that has ABS?

Thanks.

Vios 1.5 M/T Php653,000 . Correct me if I'm wrong.

Optra 1.6L MT - 638-650k with ABS, supposedly (depending on which pricelist/publication you believe)... but no airbags. With airbags, the price goes over 700k.

The Jazz and City 1.3 S versions start at or are under 650k also, with airbags and ABS, I think.

As a sidenote... somebody tell C! and Topgear to get their buyer's guides straight... still too many typos...

Vehicle with GMA, ayaw mo? Joke!

inexpensive for the suv category and the most number of airbags

Kia Sportage 2.0L * P969,000

it has six airbags, consisting of driver and passenger side airbags plus side and curtain airbags...

i dont think 1.3 variants of the City/Jazz has airbags or ABS...

circa 2003, when Honda launched the 2nd gen City. the 1.3 Type S which was the top line model has dual airbags and ABS along with some styling and feature content to differentiate it from the Type A model. come late 2004 when the 1.5V VTEC variant was released, only the 1.5V has this safety features. this also happened with the Jazz. with the introduction of the VTEC equipped variant, the 1.3 S lost the safety features.

also, the Optra 1.6L doesnt have ABS nor airbags...it does have a 4 wheel disc though. the cheapest Optra to have ABS and airbag is the 1.6LS P 738,000 (MT) P 783,000 (AT).

the local Kia Sportage has ABS+EBD but has NO airbags....not a single airbag.

i think the Vios 1.5G is the most inexpensive car with ABS P 687,000 (MT)
P 722,000 (AT)

^ specs of the local Sportage.

i think the only local (mainstream) car to have six airbags is the Mazda6.

^The '06 Rav4 also has side curtain air bags as well as the 2.0S-L Civic.

side airbags plus side curtain airbags?

btw, as per motioncars' (sir AG4) forum...Chevy just upgraded the Aveo with the following features;
Updated Chevrolet Aveo 1.5 features:
- Dual Airbags
- ABS
- 15 inch alloy wheels (similar to the one on the limited edition model)
- fog lamps
- rear spoiler
- fold and tumble rear seats(60:40 split)
- MP3 player
no confirmation is there is a price increase... if there is none, then it is the cheapest car with ABS locally * P 635,000 (MT) P 675,000 (AT).

The Rav4 4x4 has curtain shield and side airbags in addition to the front. 4x2 has the fronts only.

The Civic just says side airbags

[basti08]

yup the Civic has 4...only for the 2.0S-L variant which cost P 1,102,000 (+P 15,000 if its white ) even the 2.0S doesnt have those side airbags.

the RAV4 should really have it....coz it's so expensive.

[OTEP]

I don't really care how many balloons it has. Even no balloons but with ABS will be fine.

What? You pay additional 15K for paint that's easiest to make and most prone to stains? Years before, you even get discount for choosing white, and for second-hand, this color gets the most haggling.

I dont know why charge a premium but at least this white is not the same white you see on delivery vans or buses. They call it Pearl white because the shade is the same as that of a pearl and it has some glitter in it. I think this shade of white will be less prone to staining bec. it looks stained already, off the box.

RE: Jazz 1.3 - sabi ko nga, daming mistakes sa mga buyer's guides na yun! They ought to be updated every month instead of every 18 months (or 24, in the case of the Lynx... ).

The premium for the Civic's paint is either because of the multi-layered / chameleon-type effect or the metallic stuff. Isuzu does the same thing. If you've ever had to have your car painted, you'd see how expensive this stuff is...

It's a b*tch to repaint those cars, as the color is nearly impossible to match outside the casa. My dad has one of Isuzu's "special" colors... lime-metallic-green. Really pretty, but he hasn't painted over the scratches for a while because of the cost.
