    Yes meron Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

    Great competitor sa Civic/Corolla. Maganda din pricing per VW PH website.

    What VW Philippines launched here was the older-gen (lower-priced) Lavida.

    Like other manufacturers, in China VW keeps the previous gen model as a cheaper alternative to the new one.

    The Lamando looks good.

    -www.topgear.com.ph
    It uses a version of the MQB platform also used by the current Golf Mk7 and 2019 Jetta.

    Saw a Lavida last night in Mckinley going to BGC. Got a good look at it since the traffic was bad. I must say maganda ang tindig niya. Proportions are similar to the jetta if im not mistaken.

    How much is the Lavida? Maybe you can check other brands what models they have at the same price as the Lavida.

    Thanks for the responses, guys!!! We just have to let go of the leather seats (and sunroof) for now, but I guess we're getting the civic kasi oldschool infotainment ni Lavida.

    Thanks for the responses!!! So new here, just wanted to check out reviews for the Lavida, but it appears it's a no match against the civic. haha hope our decision is right.

    The leather seats, you can easily add later on for about ~40k. Should not be a dealbreaker.

    The Civic drives better, looks better, has better parts availability and a wider dealer network, and will definitely sell higher later on.

    Just got this as my first car from EastWest Repo.
    If anyone has questions about the Lavida I'd be happy to answer them.
