Choosing a Car: Do you Use your Heart or Mind?

[_Cathy_]

I always go with my mind. What makes more sense, dun ako.

Cathy, mag Toyota ka na. Sa mitsubishi isang Mali lang sa tpl/comprehensive, grabe na galit mo. Pero sa Toyota, di bale masira a/c at gumastos basta Mabait, all is forgiven.

Ill bet, konting rattle lang sa mitsubishi, parang end of the world na sayo. Haha.

Ginawa ako tanga nung sales kasi sa Mitsu. Hehe. Sa Toyota kasi mabilis mag claim ng warranty saka kahit iwan ko auto ko sa casa ng ilang araw walang nawawala. Ewan ko lang kung magagawa ko yan sa Mitsu

Get the stripped down Fortuner M/T na lang. Just stretch your budget a bit more.

Toyota na yan. May peace of mind ka na.

Hindi ba ginawa ka rin tanga ng Toyota na sinabi walang sira a/c and spend 5k on it?

Tigilan na mitsubishi, go with Toyota kahit mas mahal ng konti. at least kahit magkaroon ng problem oto, nakasmile ka pa rin.

O ya, sa insurance, basta kinuha sa SA kahit anong claim madali.

Ke Mitsu pa yan, Toyota, o Hyundai (potek may naalala ako dito), basta hindi maayos mag-handle yun casa niya, walang mangyayaring maganda. Wala sa brand yan after sales, nasa casa yan ;)

Ang tanong, may matino bang casa ang Mitsu? Hehe

buy the montero, then have toyota pasig service it ....

Kung ako tatanungin, I'll treat each casa na pare-pareho lang. Di ako masyado magrerely sa kanila in terms of service. Siguro first year ng sasakyan eh sa casa muna. Pero after a year, kahit ako nalang mag-isa mag preventive. Mas competitive pa nga minsan mga talyer kesa sa casa.

Hay naku ha ha ha. Yung Fortuner base model 1.3M pero ayoko kasi ng Fortuner.

May mga casa kasi na yung tauhan puro OJT, tapos yung mga foreman/leadman lang ang mga industrial grade mechanics. Hindi naman lahat na casa ganyan.

Yung mga experienced mechanics either go abroad or establish their own business (talyer)

Don't ask me how I know.

Then you have your answer.

Pointless to buy a car and lahat sisitahin... Baka kung pms ka sa mitsu, masabi pa na panget showroom, hindi friendly mga tao, etc. Unlike sa Toyota pasig, all praises.

Mahirap yan... Hindi ka sasaya sa mitsubishi. Stress lang and at the end baka humirit ka "dapat Toyota na lang".

Kahit honda preference ko, yung kumuha ako mitsubishi, steady lang. No comparison needed kasi hindi naman ako titira sa showroom nila. Nung may kalampag, pinasok lang sa warranty, ginawa na.

Hahaha! Speaking of this one, pinag-iisipan namin ng erpats ko magtayo ng talyer. Sabi ko nalang eh madali lang bumili ng gamit, pero mahirap makahanap ng magagaling na mekaniko.

BTT:
Kung ganyan ang mindset mo, Cathy, wag mo na pangarapin magkaroon ng isang Montero na gustong gusto mo.

Puwede naman ata. Dito sa amin Mitsu casa caters to all kinds of vehicle naman.

I'm in a really big dilemma in choosing my next vehicle.

My heart is really with the Montero GLX M/T (1,290,000). I have wanted this vehicle from as far back as when I got my Altis in 2010. When I was recently given a chance by my family to justify my getting an SUV, I was very ecstatic about it as I could finally get a Montero. But then I started reading about the horror stories on the after sales service of Mitsubishi so now I am having second thoughts about the car that I really want. The Fortuner is beyond budget and I really don't like the looks. The Hilux is an option but based on the feedback I got, it's not such a good pick up (matagtag) and I did not like it so much too when I went to the showroom.

My mind goes for the new full model change Altis G A/T coming next year (less than 900,000 +) I am a Toyota fan and I will definitely have peace of mind if I get an Altis. I also have nothing but good things to say about Toyota Pasig. I know that if I get a car at Toyota Pasig that my car (and I) will be taken cared of and I will have no difficulty claiming warranty. I also get to save money if I get an Altis because I would assume that the base model or G model would not reach the 1.2M mark naman, plus I will get to own an AT vehicle since my current Altis is a manual.

so in choosing a car, do you go for what you desire (heart) or what is practical (mind)?

first of all why do you need an SUV? do you carry alot of passengers around? and why montero? i think there are alot better choices now, besides, matagal na model na montero. we just got one but i like the ride of my sportage better, why not consider this or a tucson?
