Hi OT, but I'm already at the brink of getting the currently upgraded mirage glx over the suzuki celerio. In terms of 1. after sales(maintenance and parts) 2. Aircon 3. Practicality (daily usage and interior space) and 4. Looks is it still wiser to get this car. I might be able to get the mirage 10k less than the current price of celerio assuming wala ng discount si suzuki. But after seeing the award that it has received and the reviews its getting from other countries this may be the winning choice. Thanks mga sir!
I'd go with the Suzuki Celerio. Have test drove one recently and i like the overall performance and space it offers. The mirage might have more power but the handling and suspension in the celerio is way better. Space and Fc is almost the same on both cars and I felt better a/c on the celerio.
May Facebook Group ba Celerio? I would agree that the suspension of the Celerio is very good for its class. We had a Rio before and nahihilo ako minsan dun pag passenger ako. Sa Celerio kahit papaano para kang nasa bigger car.
Personally, best cruising speed on the highway for both economy and safety is probably around 85-90. That's just fast enough that buses aren't constantly riding your tail and cutting you off.
I could have... but I had a two hundred plus kilometer drive ahead of me, it was the middle of the night, in typhoon weather, and the trucks around me were damn scary.![]()

All I can say is: I.want.a.Celerio.
The Mirage feels loose and loopy to drive in comparison. The Wigo feels like an oxcart. Sorry, Wigo owners, I just don't like how cheap it feels. The Celerio isn't perfect... there's some thumping over bumps that indicate short suspension travel versus the Mirage, but the Wigo is worse in that sense, and wanders much more on the highway.
The Celerio tracks truer than both of the others at speed on the highway, it has a nicer cabin than the Wigo (against Mirage, it's debatable), it has a great cargo area, the manual transmission is just right... not as notchy or crunchy as in the Wigo, nor as loose and flappy as in the Mirage. Can't guarantee it will stay that way over the long haul, but at least it starts out good. The automatic is worlds better than the Wigo. The Mirage 1.2 CVT is superior, sure, but not by all that much. The main complaint with the auto is that it's slow to engage from a stop. But for a 1.0, that's a given... other 1.0 ATs take forever to move from a light.
At 507k, you already get ABS, airbags and mags. And the stereo doesn't completely suck. The Wigo and Mirage still have maybe an inch more legroom, but both have less headroom and the Wigo uses ultra-thin seats to get that extra inch. The Celerio's big glass makes it feel like a roomier car than either. Only nit is the big glass means you'll need good tint on the sides and rear to keep cool.
I was thinking of buying secondhand for a service vehicle by January, but I'm wondering about buying this one... seriously wondering.![]()

high!
thanks.
maka-lakad nga sa otis at mamalengke... ng brochures.
galing nako sa mitsu doon.. they do not know how to entertain potentials, in my opinion..
frequent flyer ako sa toyota.. (i got a wigo, because it's a toyota. reliable, easy to sell and service and all that..)
kilala na mukha ko sa UN nissan (1.2 almera! still waiting for the metal to arrive..)
hyundai at honda na lang..
heh heh.

The rear headroom in the celerio is better. 60:40 split folding and slightly wider cargo area in the back compared sa mirage.
Parts - mitsubishi pa din
Maintenance- regular pms oil change will cost you roughly 1.5k
Aircon is ok din.
Celerio handles better and still zippy around the metro
Thanks everyone for your input. Coming from sir Niky, that also validates most reviews like the ones coming from Australia. It'll be a matter of choosing the right color at this point. Again thank you, really appreciate it!
Hi! Any thoughts on the reliability of the CVT? Any differences with maintenance cost? How many miles before it breaks down (which I hope does not happen) or needs a replacement?
Ma rerelease palang yung Celerio ko next week. For those who are driving the car already, kamusta naman ang sport mode? mas mabilis ba siya pag gagamitin from traffic stop tapos switch to D?
Also magagamit ba siya for overtaking sa highways?
Sa Celerio group ang sabi nila dahil lang sa catalytic converter.
