May 5th, 2011 05:31 AM #1I don't know if anyone has started this thread yet but I can't find one so I'll ask you guys thanks.
I am going to buy a new car for coding replacement, I want something cute, not a sedan nor a hatchback, I want a cute and boxy styled car. So I ended up with two choices na pareho halos ang presyo, don't care about the brand nor the resale value, nor do I care about how well it will perform since its just a coding car and I want it to be cute, slightly unique among others.
Ended up with Kia Soul 1.6 for 899k and Suzuki Jimny 805k. So which is which????

I like driving the Kia SOUL, having driven the 1.6L last year and the 2.0L version the year before that. It feels modern, young and trendy. It accelerates well to around 100kph with it's 1.6L engine. Seats four to five adults well. Ride quality is good and comfortable. Handling is good too as it can do quick turns and maneuvers with confidence. Only major downside is the small cargo space. Trying to accelerate from 100kph and up, you will quickly find the engine lacking in more "oomph".
The Suzuki Jimny is cramp inside, practical space for only two people. The people seated at the back seat will quickly find very little legroom. Bigger guys will be seated shoulder to shoulder. I could unlock the passenger door just by reaching for the door, I don't even have to bend over my body. The ride quality of this vehicle is hard/stiff, great if you are planning an offroad trek but too harsh for a city car.
My choice (among your choices), KIA SOUL 1.6L.Last edited by ghosthunter; May 5th, 2011 at 09:26 AM.

Between the 2, for city driving the Soul is definitely better. But if you want to do some minor off-roading, then Jimny na.
Fasten your seatbelt! Or else... Driven To Thrill!

May 5th, 2011 10:00 AM #7Main car kasi is monty =) and ayoko po boss ng sedan or hatch... Getting an SUV like 2007-up like x-trail, crv, would cost me 500k na rin... 5 years old na din yun tsikot, getting a pre-owned jimny would cost 350k for 2003 model 8 years old na siya... second hand na soul ganun na din price kasi 2.0 lang naman yun second hand... so opted for half down na lang (maliit lang monthly) may warranty pa boss di lang din for coding... para pag ako lang din magisa ang sakay, pwede na pahinga monty.

And if you want to do even more off-roading, Jimny pa rin.
The Jimny is really for a limited market only; if you want a nice weekend offroad toy with 4WD and are a sporty type who goes off to places where road condition is iffy. If its really just for city driving then the Soul would be better as mentioned; you also have a Monty already so i guess the sedan does match out better.

i'll go for the kia soul.
malaki na naging improvement ng kia motors sa mga nilalabas nilang mga vehicles lalu na sa mpv at crossover variants.
Buhay na buhay ang BGC this evening. Bukas halos lahat ng restaurants. Sabi pa nung isang cashier...
Traffic!
