The Car Buying Guide - Brand New Cars

[polka]

my choices as of the moment are Jazz/city/vios.

 

1.3 CvT for honda and 1.5 A/T for Vios.  Please give me your thoughts.

City na bro! maganda na ang porma!

Mazda3 or the Ford Focus hatch - para d masyadong mahirap abutin.

[tim21]

plan on buying either the mazda 3 or ford focus.

 

but if kung meron pang brand new, i would like the first edition of the civic na lift back pa. i'd paint it all black with no tint and papalitan ko yung mags to chrome ones.

MINGGOY, better get the getz. it's very porma when u decide to dress it up later. i saw it already fully dress up including the upper pakpak sa likod. then with a bigger wheel n mags. wow ang tapang ng porma. althought the interior is plastic but it's not obvious without a 2nd look. it's nice and simple to the chassis and the back is jus simply roomy than kia picanto.

 

try to get the top variant or model for a better interior if there's any difference fr the basic one.

 

i've seen black n yellow fully dress-up n driven them. move than ok for me.

Pinaka-practical pa rin na 1.6 sa akin ang Ford Lynx GSI. Maluwag sa loob saka busog sa freebies like tools, power doors, alarm, tint, and my favorite, yung backup sensors. Saka kayang kayang iwan sa highway ang City, Jazz, Vios, and Corolla. Mababa lang ang resale value, pero what the heck, I don't intend to sell it naman.

 

Got mine last year for P600K.

If brand new, i want a mazda 3, or the new civic which is coming out next year.. right now i am very happy with my 1997 Accord VTIS, but if a good deal for a 1999 VTIL accord comes around.. am going to get that too.. sarap talaga ng ride ng honda accord, cefiro, camry..

if i have all the resources

 

bmw... welcome to my life :cool:

[Elai]

Mazda Miata

[complicated8]

i may be going for the jazz 1.3 CVT. am just looking for everyday car na matipid and medyo nice.

It also less likely to be carnapped than the Japanese counterparts.....according to TMG

due

1. Lesser resale value than japanese brands

2. Parts are not interchangeable with others compared to Jap brands

3. Not used as taxi

4. One will have a hard time finding replacement parts when it is brought to southern philippines

5. others

halimaw ang fuel consumption ng ford...i own a honda jazz..kung may budget ka ito bilin mo...kung wala hyundai getz (madali pormahan..maganda rin overall)

 

cgurado kayo na kaya nyo iwanan ang jazz sa highway? yung kaibigan ko naka 1.5vtec jazz..testing natin...tsaka 1.6 yan eh..kung vtec 1.6 ang tinapat mo kakain ka ng alikabok pre..pinakamatulin sa 1300cc category ang jazz..iba gumawa ng makina ang honda pre

[complicated8]

Thanks for the inputs, guys... Jazz na yata talaga ang decision ko.

hmmmmm gsto ko lang share.. for me ndi ok ang honda.. pag brand new, ok pa cya.. swabe pa takbo.. pag tumagal, ndi na.. mabilis masira makina, suspension, transmission.. i knw because we used to own 5 hondas.. 2 accords, 2 civics and 1 city.. in a span of 8 years yan.. ngayon city na lang naiwan kasi pang laspag lang namin.. yung city namin is like the jazz ang korte ng harap, and there is nothing that i like about it.. suspension sucks, transmission sucks.. jerky ang takbo, and all other components feels like its all gonna crumble on u.. sold my last civic and bought an altis 1.8.. IMHO ok cya.. suabe sa takbo, ok ang suspension, and ndi mo man lang mapapansin na nagchchange ng gears ang altis.. unlike the civic and city na parang magjjerk.. fuel efficiency? ok naman cya.. i get 11-12 km per liter shell unleaded.. cyempre ndi parin kasing ok ng brand new honda, pero sa experience ko kasi, civic ko nung tumagal nasa 5.5 per liter na lang e.. i actually swore off hondas in the mean time kasi bad rep na tlga sakin.. im really happy with my altis.. no prob watsoever..
