December 27th, 2015 10:44 AM #22I'm planning to buy my first car soon. However, i'm really torn between my options, Corolla Altis 1.6V, Nissan Sylphy 1.8v and Honda City VX. All are current models.
I am considering the following:
1. We are 6 in the family, one of which is a 6 yr. old girl. I was actually thinking of a Fortuner, but it's too much for my budget and I don't think all of us will ride the car most of the time. So I'm considering a sedan.
2. I want to call it as my personal car.
3. I want to use the car for adventures, if possible.
4. Fuel efficiency
5. Looks and comfortable ride
6. Maintenance costs
I am considering Altis as my top choice but it seems that it lack technology inside. That's why I also considered the Sylphy 1.8 variant. It has all the specs! But my problem is, can i use the looks and presence of the Sylphy in going to Baguio or for adventures? Coz, it seems that it looks more of a professional car (i am actually a professional). Also, I don't have ideas on the parts prices of Nissan and how frequent should the pms be.
I considered Honda City VX since it has a lot of tech features.
Help me please!

You are 6 in the family and wants some adventure, a sedan won't fit your wants and needs.
Buy an Innova, it's the best fit for you.

December 27th, 2015 10:51 AM #24a family of 6 won't fit comfortably in most sedans, including the sylphy. and most families only get bigger with time, in number as well as in size and weight.
and... errr... what adventures do you mean, sir?
...seems to me you need something more... an innova perhaps? a mobilio..?

^ all this talk makes me wonder how we were able to move around in relative comfort in an 80's sized sedan back in the day
i guess not having any other option all those years was a blessing in a round about sort of way

December 27th, 2015 11:17 AM #26I agree. Lima kami sa family and medyo tight squeeze na sa altis. Compact din yung slyphy so d nalalayo yung space. All adults though. Prone sa sayad din pag loaded kasi malambot suspension at mahaba overhangs so if you are thinking baguio or sagada and the likes na adventure, medyo uncomfortable na yun for the passengers kung anim kayo. Kahit sa driver, lagi kang magmemenor. Best nga yung auv or mpv sa purposes mo. Consider mo yung mga ertiga, innova, and the likes. D kasing porma pero mas suitable sa needs mo.

December 27th, 2015 11:35 AM #27Haha.. I will just revise my statement. Actually, I can say that the car will only be at full blast (all of us 6 inside) for just once or twice a year. Usually during groceries for holidays. Major uses will be:
1. service of my daughter to and from school.
2. Service of my dad whenever he goes out for a check up.
3. Mom's use for her meetings.
4. Personal use for a week every month from Pampanga to Manila.
I plan to leave it in the province since Im working in Makati. Pero plan ko rin to use it kahit one week a month. Advice ko nga sa family ko is hndi naman mapupuno ung loob kasi ung mga purposes ko is hndi nman at the same time.
Then for the adventure thing, ito nalang ask ko. Pwede bang pang akyat mga yan Baguio?

December 27th, 2015 11:40 AM #28I really love the Altis. But everytime i think that it lacks tech inside, napapaisip ako to go for the Sylphy.

December 27th, 2015 12:33 PM #29Consider this - people will spend more time inside so its best ma i provide mo ung comforts. Baka tiis ganda ka sa altis nyan. Altho, nagagandahan din talaga ako sa auto na yun. Preferences nalang.
