    Hi all!

    I’m about to buy my very own first car with a budget of 250k for a used one (Financing). Just a little backstory last 2008 we got the first i10 sayang lang kasi nabenta din namin last 2011 and we had a very good time with it, since then di na kami nagkotse.

    So naisip ko, sa budget na 250k bakit hindi nalang i10 (2012-2014) yung naka facelift na.

    So tama na ba yung budget ko? Plus any tips sa used i10 will be highly appreciated. And if i10 (2012-2012 Facelift) ang kukunin ko, ano mga kailangan kong papalitan na parts / What's the common issue and how much kaya dapat budget to get it going smoothly?

    Madagdag ko nalang eto originally ang choices ko:
    1. 2011-2014 Hyundai i10
    2. 2012-2014 Hyundai Eon
    3. 2006 Honda City
    4. 2006 Toyota Vios

    Since i10 yung pinaka modelo dito at 90-95% city driving lang din ang gagawin, PLUS almost always solo ride lang ako, yun na first choice ko.

    And matanong ko na din, bakit sobrang bihira at halos wala ako nakikita na 2013 Grand i10? Ganda na kasi nung flowy design lol

    Walang grand i10 dahil overpriced sya compared to other alternatives (mirage, wigo). For 250k, you can probably score a mirage of the same model if you get lucky.

    Pricey kasi yung hyundai i10 grand.. at almost 800k for a small car.. although feature packed na din still too pricey.. mag honda jazz na lang ako..

    For your budget add a little and you can get a kia rio.. saw one at olx for 2014 model at around 300k top of the line na

    Is a Kia Rio more advisable than an i10 or Eon? Thanks man

    if memory serves, i think the rio has bigger passenger space than the eon, or even the i10.
    personally, i see no logic in buying an otherwise great car, if it's too small for one's intended need. everytime it is used, it will naggingly remind the user of its small size.
    try them out for size, sir.
