    IF I would buy a car?

    Do we mean realistically? or fantasy-like?

     

    Realistically...

    Am happy with the ones i bought the past years...

    (A Nissan Altima - first car i bought in the 90's, and a Ford pick-up)

    Pero if i were to add to it (am hoping our car benefit for sr. mgt. gets an upgrade), id really like to aim for a 3 series BMW or a small Volvo (S40) next year.

     

    Fantasy...

    I'd really want a HUMMER H2 or H1 :P

    Ako Toyota Echo...kelangan ko kasi ng maiksing kotse.

     

    Paano, stoopid nung gumawa ng bahay namin, bitin yung garahe :P

    ay! ganyan yung car ng Lolo ko!! cute car! lots of compartments! kaso nga lang baduy yung napiling kulay... parang blue green na ewan...... make sure u get the echo not the echo verso... parang baduy ang design nung echo verso....

    We have an Echo Verso. My only caveat is that its a manual and not an automatic tranny. But we have absolutely no regrets buying it. It's roomy inside, economical, the VVTI engine is energetic, and the handling is very crisp. We also have a '97 Civic VTI and the Echo feels more precise in its handling, although the Civic will beat it hands down in acceleration. Maybe it's just a difference in character, the Civic is also fun to drive.

     

    Too bad Toyota doesn't sell Echos anymore. The Vios is supposed to be the successor, but I haven't driven one yet.

    The echo, and even the verita, were experiments in the RP market.

    Toyota misread the RP market with the Echo eh...in Europe, compact hatch backs are all the rave...in the philippines though, a majority of the market like their cars larger, look at the SUVs AND AUVs - our motoring mentality is closer to the states than europe. Hence most of the car buyers tended to want a car that had a 'puwit' or trunk. This is why the Echo did poorly. It was a good car though, but they also sold it at an outrageous price...at close to 560-640K, you could get a much larger 1.6 sedan. The VERSO was better because it was like a VAN and a car, pero expensive for the common buyer at over 700K.

     

    Am afraid Peugot and Opel are misreading the market again by pushing small hatchbacks. There IS a niche market for it though, as staypuff mentioned - he needs a small car. Pero that niche market has to both really WANT and NEED a hatchback, because if they dont, theyd realize that for the same price - they can get a sedan. And for cheaper, they can also get a sedan like the VIOS and the CITY.

     

    Happy car shopping though! :)

    marc.alan, so you're in the market for a classic cooper ei?

    well, that would depend on the condition of the car...if its restored or not,

    how original the parts on it are, and the condition its in.
