Hi butchoi_oOo,

Thanks very the recommendation. Much appreciated.

Downpayment was 28% for the sake of availing the free insurance. Chattel Mortgage was around 12k, monthly amortization is 15k.

If I opted for 20% downpayment, chattel mortgage would have been 14k, monthly amortization of 17k.

Regarda,
Kutchikutch

She also commented on the how the A/C vents looks (sticks out from the ceiling unlike those of the Avanza na incorporated na sa ceiling). She even noticed kung bakit daw ganun ka-"crude" yung gas tank and hood levers.

Am more of the practical owner and to me the bigger space (vs sedan), better ride quality (since this uses the platform of Swift) and better fuel consumption (vs Avanza) are my primary considerations.

But, that said, how do you feel about these comments about the Ertiga's interior? And what should I tell the wife naman para ma-appease yung pagka-turn off nya?

Yes there's a plasticky feel but I will say it's pretty solid. I haven't seen the interior of the new avanza though. But I can say mas plastic ang interiors ng KIA

The overhead aircon vents were designed that way kasi hindi naman yata dual aircon talaga ang ertiga. It only helps circulate the air from the front cabin to the back. (I read this somewhere but not sure if this stands true with the current model). But this doesn't bother me at all dahil giniginaw pa rin yung mga passengers ko.

Things I didn't like with the interior:
1. Seat adjustment levers. Parang kinalahati para makatipid at mukhang mapuputol.
2. I will agree that the gas lever looks crude, masyadong raw.
3. Walang arm rest sa middle kahit GLX na yung variant.
4. I felt that the side mirror control was very fragile and it might break easily.

Small compromises lang naman tong list na to para sakin. Maingat naman ako sa gamit. I'm still very much satisfied purchasing this car for my family. The kids were happy!!! :clap:

i got white (easy to mod color) but if u like plain, i suggest checking out the silver. its a very light silver and may pagka pearl ang dating imho...

gray is i think the hardest and most sought after color

Yup, the second row has an arm rest. I'm talking about the front, sana meron din. Na miss ko lang yung sa Altis.
