Pasingit lang saglit tas balik na sa usapang cute girls, hehe..
From a cold start, Do you guys stay on P until revs go down to 1k, or shift to N/D na agad?
^ For me, sakto lang yung time adjusting the mirrors, seatbelt, aircon, radio, pagsaksak ng mga gadget then go na. Pero nagbabagal lang ako hanggang nasa gitna na yung temp![]()
sa mga owners ng swift 1.2. kamusta na po? FC, PMS and overall experience? Thinking of getting one pero nasa comparo stage pa ako between mirage GLX CVT and Swift 1.2 AT. best deal after discounts is 80K in favor of the mirage.
TIA!
kung mostly low speed city drive with no traffic (bulacan area) ang route malayo parin kaya ung FC nilang dalawa? gusto ko kasi sa swift yung build quality and interior fit & finish. cyempre pati yung style.

May car meet bukas sa MOA Swift 1.2 PH group. Sayang hindi ako pwede.
May mag adjust daw ng trunk dun, para mas madali na maisara. Safe ba yun?
^Nagpost ako ng step-by-step nung trunk fix sa forums, check mo na lang
FC in favor of the Mirage CVT. No comments on PMS since I've only had my 1000 km PMS. I'll have a concrete opinion after I've done my 5K and 10K km PMS. I have a 2015 Swift 1.2 AT btw.
But for "overall experience", I'd definitely take the Swift. Sounds biased but there's no contest in terms of driving pleasure. The Mirage is an econo car through and through and it shows in the way it drives, particularly on the CVT-equipped variants. The Swift on AT is very exciting to drive. Excellent steering response and feedback and the acceleration is exciting because there's a lot of torque in the low range. Prod the pedal even just a little and it will GO. It's pretty much like a go-kart. Sharp handling and engaging to drive. In short, it's fun. Btw, the Swift is also more quiet and has a better ride than the Mirage. It's noticeably more refined. Test drive both so you know what I mean. Most would actually put the Swift in the same class as the Jazz and Yaris, but given the pricing, interior space and engine displacement the Swift is often compared to the Mirage and Brio.
The Mirage on the other hand has a more spacious 2nd row because the seats are thinner which mean more legroom, and it has a fancy head unit with navigation on the GLS variant, and it's one of the best in its class in terms of AT fuel economy. But its 3 cylinder 1.2 engine, CVT transmission and poo-poo handling makes driving boring in comparison. This is exactly why the Mirage is one of the most disliked cars by auto journalists from developed countries. Even Consumer Reviews, which is known to be very lenient in their reviews, couldn't help but say they hated it.
Basically, if you simply want more passenger space, better FC and a high-tech head unit, get the Mirage GLS CVT since those discounts look yummy.
P.S. Shameless plug of my Swift which I just upgraded to 17" rims.

^^^ Nice rims, how's the ride quality compared to stock? What size tires?
