  • @ 1 million budget ano pinaka sulit, pamasok sana at pang araw-araw

    I was thinking of Honda Civic 1.8 S CVT @ 1.1M, ano pros and cons neto? idadaan sa EDSA madalas

    Ano pa pwede na option?
    I am thinking of Fortuner rin para sa future plan if lumaki family. kaso medyo mahal na.

    Salamat

    Kung hindi problem ang parking space size, Fortuner na. Although mga new models ngayon mas maliit ang space sa loob yun napansin ko sa Fortuner 2019 V 2.4 namin kesa 1st gen Fortuner.

  • ang naiisip ko lang na con (for me) ni Civic is old engine and cvt, although ok pa rin naman ata FC nya because of the tranny

    if you can get past that, everything else is good.. space, nvh, visibility, looks

    if you are considering Fortuner, check out Innova na rin siguro, more spacious
  • Kung wala ka pang gf, get the civic.

    Get the Coolray instead, mas comfy yung ride lalo na sa lubak lubak na EDSA and mas mura pa sa Civic except the totl (but barely).

    I have the Civic 1.8E but kung nauna lang yung Coolray lumabas, I will get it over the Civic without hesitation. Madami din problem yung Civic FC: EPS gearbox (P80k if out of warranty, and some owners more than 3x na nagpapapalit within warranty, ako 1x pa lang so far), unlimited rattles sa cabin, fuel pump, etc.

    And bitin yung 1.8 + CVT, compared sa 1.5 Turbo wet DCT ng Coolray.

    In addition, mas madali mag load ng stuff sa CUVs/SUVs and easier egress/ingress sa cabin sa mga CUVs vs SUVs (mas mataas). If may anak ka, hassle mag lagay ng car seat sa sedan kase mababa (lalo na sa Civic). Perfect ang CUVs for me. (Coolray, HR-V, CR-V, XV, Forester, etc)

  • Advise po sana sa Wigo 2020 and Brio. both are 658k srp. same cabin space po ba sila? sa availability po ng aftermarket parts? mas mahal po ba ang honda parts compare sa toyota? sabi kasi ng bayaw ko mahal ang honda kaya toyota nalang daw. before may civic 2006 ako and tested ko at yung comfort driving.
  • @iamcdo20

    mas okay kapag maitest drive mo. since same price naman, masasagot mga tanong mo sa cabin space and comfort kapag nadrive mo both.
  • Brio, no question about it.

    Sa parts almost same lang yan.

    Sa PMS/maintenance naman, mas mura Honda vs Toyota since 2x a year lang ang Honda.


  • hello guys,

    need lang opinion , which is better?

    * second hand toyota vios
    * brand new honda city

    biggest factor to consider: price / value / availability of parts

    on paper kasi honda city talaga pero concern ko is yung parts availability and price nya , parang ang mahal kapag nasira.
  • if you can buy a brand new honda city, why not put on your selection a brand new vios instead of a second hand.

    if you are going for the second hand vios, parts are always available.

    Misleading masyado na mahal Honda.

    I've owned a 1st gen Vios and a City GM, walang concern for both parts and price.

    Pareho lang presyo ng parts, mas madami pa nga ako nagastos sa Vios kase mas madami nasira compared sa City na PMS lang ang ginastos ko.

    With that info in mind, nag bnew Civic ako (2nd hand yung previous cars). So far no regrets sa purchase pero considering the market nowadays, I would have gotten another car if I were to buy a bnew car today (Geely Coolray).

    dun po kasi ako sa deal na less money needed pero good yung value.. concern ko kasi kapag brandnew ang dali mag mura ng price once mailabas mo na ng dealer..

    i'm leaning toward honda city.

    side note: ye -i agree , geely coolray is a nice car though there's a stigma on Chinese car. Same treatment on korean cars around 10 years ago.
  • concern ko kasi kapag brandnew ang dali mag mura ng price once mailabas mo na ng dealer..


    it is normal. once you drive it out off the dealer, simula na ang pagbaba ng value nyan.
  • sabi kasi ng bayaw ko mahal ang honda kaya toyota nalang daw

    no offense sa Toyota owners pero sa mga na-own ko na brand.. yung Toyota pinaka-sirain, and that is within first 5 years of life ng auto

    totoo na madali makahanap ng aftermarket parts ng toyota
    problem with other 3rd party parts though is hindi masyado maganda ang quality
    pag original parts kasi ang usapan, minsan hindi narin nagkakalayo ang mga Japanese brands
  • concern ko kasi kapag brandnew ang dali mag mura ng price once mailabas mo na ng dealer..

    Kahit anong brand naman ng sasakyan eh ganyan talaga nagdedepreciate ang value.
  • ^Mas mura ba ang OEM parts ng Toyota compare sa Honda?

    Kapag Suzuki car like swift or jimny mahal ang parts at limited supply din?

    Thanks
  • Kung concerned sa depreciation, 2nd hand is the one for you - regardless sa make and model.

  • sabi kasi ng bayaw ko mahal ang honda kaya toyota nalang daw



    bili ka orig parts for both
    lamang lang toyota sa replacement / taiwan brands
  • oncern ko kasi kapag brandnew ang dali mag mura ng price once mailabas mo na ng dealer..

    Kahit anong brand naman ng sasakyan eh ganyan talaga nagdedepreciate ang value.


    bakit? ipagbibili mo ba kaagad pag labas ng sasakyan mo galing sa dealer?
  • I am thinking of Fortuner rin para sa future plan if lumaki family. kaso medyo mahal na.


    maliit ang loob ng fortuner. mas malaki pa nga ang innova kung space ang paguusapan
  • concern ko kasi kapag brandnew ang dali mag mura ng price once mailabas mo na ng dealer..


    Kung 2nd hand make sure cash mo wag mo na pasok sa financing loan. Mas okay parin 2nd hand kung tight ang budget at gagamitin lang daily driver. Kung brand new tapos pang negosyo at cash mo bilhin mas ok, pero kung hulugan na wala kang negosyo wag nalang. At the end of the day, mas okay maging practical kesa porma. Just make sure ok 2nd hand bilhin mo.

    Take it from me, napaka bwisit nabili ko 2nd hand. Nag tiwala kasi relative. Good thing na dispose ko na.. haha!

  • bakit? ipagbibili mo ba kaagad pag labas ng sasakyan mo galing sa dealer?


    good point though wala ako balak ibenta agad.. na OC lang siguro ako na ang bilis mag depreciate ng value nya kaya naisip ko mag second hand na basta maayos yung status ng car.

    yep , from point a to b lang habol ko talaga.. practicality lang tsaka ang hirap kasi mag commute ngayun..
  • ^ looking din ako eh for family of 4.. Suv target ko rav4 or crv 2nd hand. Stay safe!

  • sirain pa rin ba transmission/clutch ng ford? i own an ecosport, hindi pa naman ako tinatamaan ng matinding engine problem pero nakapagpalit na ako ng parts at inabot na ako ng 120k (it is a 4 year old unit) excluding ang gulong na 20k and sabi eh tatagal na ito ng additional 3 years pa.

    i am thinking of getting ford ranges xlt. Sulit ba mag wildtrack for express way driving or okay na xlt? thanks.
  • ^ mahal yan kung p120k for a 4 year old unit. I remember yung 2003 nissan sentra ko, natapos yung 5 year amortization ko bago nasira yung aircon at temp sensor. before that ay tune-up at change oil lang ang ang usual na tire changes. nothing major.
  • Yung City ko dati 7 years nasa akin PMS lang ang ginastos. Walang nasirang part.

    120k for a 4 year car is extremely disappointing. Of course unless under warranty yan at wala kang ginastos. But still wala ka ng peace of mind.

    Andito din yung new owner nito hehe.

    Also hindi pickups or ppvs ang best choice for expressways. Kung mainly expressway ka, better to get yung CUVs like Sta Fe, CR-V, or even the Explorer.

    Assuming ayaw mo na ng sedan which are the best sa expressways.
