Small Car Query

**euro_c** · February 18th, 2003 02:21 AM

I was thinking of getting a small car for everyday driving... ang mahal na kasi ng gas! Here are my choices:

1. Toyota Echo
2. EG Hatch
3. Mazda Miata(?)

Which is one it the best value wise... fuel consumption, reliability, parts, etc...

Any other vehichle suggestions :?:

definitely not the miata...

i think the echo is the most fuel efficient of those.

Among your choices it's the Toyota Echo.

You may also consider:
1. Honda City
2. Kia Pride
3. Hyundai Atoz
4. Daihatsu Hi-jet
5. Suzuki Jimny/Samurai
6. Any diesel AUV

Echo's really fun to drive.
But really, fuel consumption is not
as low as what they claim. Siempre,
with all this traffic, you get less kilometers
per liter as you waste gas idling in traffic.

If you want to save on fuel expenses, why not
practice car less days for yourself. I mean,
take public transpo once or twice a week.
I used to do that hen I was working in Makati.
Nandiyan naman kasi ang MRT.

Grabe na talaga gas prices!
Kayong mga Expe' owners, magkano na gas
bills niyo?

The EG hatch isnt really that stingy on fuel, despite what its 1200cc engine will suggest. Among your choices...

Miata!!!!!!!

**sup** · February 20th, 2003 05:02 PM

**HBOY** · February 20th, 2003 05:17 PM
