Actually its for the mom of my friend hehehe (nagpapalakas hehehe) she's a VP in a company so its a company car, mga 50+ yrs old siya.....brand new and dapat eksakto 1.4M para di lugi yung mom niya, kasi lets say starex 1.1 lang, sayang 300thou niya how about grandis?

[pissword]

maop99.. tell him/her nalang na camry nalang at around 1.3M++ ata then mag hire nalang ng driver for ipambayad yung 100,000 sa monthly salary hahaha hindi na lugi ganda pa ng ride

if SUV naman... hindi ko alam anu ang swak sa budget na 1.4M na elegant tingnan for a VP

Car - Get a Cefiro
SUV - Get a Sorrento
VAN - Get a Toyota HI-Ace (top of the line of course)

imo, skip the SUV and van and go get a midsize sedan.

the Honda Accord 2.4 VTi-L lists for P1,382,000 and is the top pick in this segment. 1.4 million will only get her the bottom-end Camry 2.4 E (at 1.325 M), so scrap that option. the Cefiro is okay if she likes the look, but at 1.350 M for the 2.0 Superior, the Accord VTi-L is a better choice.

if she'd prefer a high-rider, a top-range compact SUV is her best bet. the Ford Escape 3.0 AWD is at 1.365 M, while the Nissan X-Trail 250X is at 1.350 m. skip the fortuner, for one thing, alanganin yung pricing. for another, i dont think she'd need or want the truckishness of the fortuner. mahihirapan pa siyang umakyat ng fortuner hehe. plus, of course, there's that long wait.

for a van, forget those one-box maxivans like the hi-ace. no power executive will want to be seen on one of those hehe. the good vans like the previa and town & country are way out of her price range. the venture is a good choice, but its huge and doesn't really fit her corporate image. kung van talaga ang gusto niya, the grandis would be her best bet.

bottom line, Honda Accord 2.4 VTi-L at 1.382 M.

[mbt]

van_wilder,

masyadong mahal yung 3.0 V6 accord.

Honda Accord 2.4 VTi Automatic: P1,202,000
Honda Accord 2.4 VTi-L Automatic: P1,382,000
Honda Accord 3.0 V6 Automatic: P1,602,000

Isuzu Alterra looks nice. :praning:

[mrpink]

go for the accord .. you can use the difference to get a few more accessories ... i think swak sa tribute yung 1.4M na budget ..

[marv0083]

go for grandis swak sa budget

[maop99]

go for grandis swak sa budget

how much ba yung grandis ngayon? Thanks okay pa ba image ng mitsubishi? reliable ba yung mga cars? kasi may dalawang bad experience na siya sa mga mitsubishi.....sa 2 cars nila na mitsubishi before 2 cars din lemon.....she wants to know kung okay pa ba mitsubishi....kasi hirap kung "ipilit" ko to take a look at the grandis or worse makinig siya sa akin at bilhin ang grandis tapos lemon nanaman....yari ako! hahaha.....post ko kaya dito kung kamusta experience3 ng mga gradis owners? Thanks......

I think the V6 Accord is priced at around 1.5M, 100K over the alloted budget.

[mazdamazda]

I'll go with the Cefiro 300EX. It certainly has more commanding presence than an Accord or Camryl.

[mbt]

1.5M yung 300EX hehe

i think she's in a company's top management so beter she takes the Cefiro... very elegant for her.

mey pogi points ka pa para sa daughter ng future mother-in-law mo broe...
