Honda Mobilio

Also, priced at 877k for the automatic variant, it is just priced the same as the 1.5 AT avanza. The mobilio is longer and has more space inside than the avanza.

Gumawa ng sariling class para sila ang best dun

Hahaha. Napakagaling. But what does it mean?

Panget nito grabe, one of the ugliest cars released in the PH next to the Ssangyong Rodius. Even the Ertiga looks better than this and the Ertiga isn't a looker. At least the design of that is through and through from front to back. This one is just one confused mess. First the dull Civic, then the Brio, now this. Daf*q are the guys at Honda smoking lately?

Ganyan ba kabobo ahente ng mga car dealers?

Anyone with a bit of interest and technical know-how on cars would know that much of that product info sheet is BS.

Kahit nga sa India, ang reklamo nila sa mobilio is it is under-spec'd.

well, beauty is always in the eyes of the beholder..
so let us wait and see how they will vote with their pocketbooks.

Saw the display unit at Honda Marcos Hiway, one thing that I don't like about the Mobilio is its low ride height compared to the competition. Ok naman sya but too expensive for what it is.

[keithdb]

It might not but Its pricing is interesting. It provides a very compelling choice versus other cars at that price range.

Kung vs sedan ang labanan, then i think mobilio is a very good off field choice. Kung versus mpv's ang labanan, then i think mahihirapan majustify ang cost ng mobilio. For the its base price, halos ka level nya na ang avanza at ertiga totl. Yung totl na mobilio is very close naman sa innova.

Innova E diesel manual.

I think there's a market for this car.. those looking for a 'better' alternative to the avanza.. It's like your everyday commuter choosing the city over the vios heheh. Surprisingly, lot of people still see Honda as 'high end'.

True Honda will invent the high-end Avanza. This is best for families I think. But for me, ertiga na Lang Kung familia. At least nakatipid ka pa ng 200k+. Cars like these are not exactly prestigious whether they try to convince their inner selves otherwise. For me soccer mom cars are soccer mom cars.

Even subcompacts aren't prestigious, but people still consider the better image of a City over a Vios or any other subcompact.

Really up to now ganun pa din ba ang view ng mga Tao .. Well with the brio, justified yun 700k + price when I test drove it, maganda sya. But with that segment parang Hindi ko na ka-differentiate, anytime last time ko magka-sedan was more than 10 years ago

Ride quality and gearing for city, the Mobilio wins.

Pero, is that enough to justify the price?

Honda did with the Mobilio what they did with the City, in terms of pricing.

They knew that their offering was better than the competition (noone would argue that the City VX is inferior to the Vios G), so they priced it slightly higher, but still not as high as the mid-range of the next class (Altis G).

Likewise, I think the Mobilio is better than the Avanza and Ertiga. At 877k for the mid-range AT, it's priced exactly the same as the Avanza G, and still much cheaper than the Innova E.

People saying that pricing is too close to an Innova don't seem to understand that 100k is still 100k, and you're only getting a manual. Many people these days won't be caught dead driving stick - either because they don't know how, or are no longer willing to endure the inconvenience given the heavy metro traffic.

Unlike the Avanza, which still feels very utilitarian, the Mobilio is a more refined family hauler, more like a Grand Livina. Hopefully, Honda tuned the L15 well enough to deliver more torque in the low revs. They were able to do it with the CR-V and its K20 lifted from the Civic, albeit at the expense of very poor FC. The CVT of Honda has proven very efficient though, and hopefully it stays that way despite the added bulk.

Practicality wise, buying the Innova, even the J Diesel variant, is a wiser choice. Space, availability of parts and mechanics, and bang for the buck. Sa dami ba namang nabentang D4D dito sa Pilipinas eh.

But, we will see. Aggressive marketing may yet propel this unit far, hopefully. Para maiba naman hehehe

Sana lang may pang 4th contender na pumasok. Nawala na Spin eh.
