bibili pa lang ng kotse Kindly asking your opinion ano po sa apat na to ang pinakasulit?

Kailangan na talaga namin ng sasakyan, hindi na pwede ang motor kasi may tatlo na kong anak. Sakto malapit na mag-December. Nababasa ko kasing maganda daw offers pag ganitong panahon kasi naghahabol ng sales (sana totoo). Thankfully nakaipon na kami ng pang down at hopefully mas madagdagan pa para kaunti na lang yung MA namin. Okay na din sa parking.

Ngayon, nagtitingin tingin na ako at feeling ko ang choices namin ay:

- BR-V S CVT

- Xpander GLS

- Avanza G

- XL7

Bakit ito sila? nagcheck ako halos 1m-1.1m lang sila with discount, the BRV-S can go as low as flat 1m. Hindi naman kailangan ng malakas na malakas ang makina kaya okay na to. Sakto lang din to sila sa parking namin. Ayoko din ng Innova (hindi gusto ni wife yung itsura)

- Mostly gagamitin lang dito sa province: pang work pag maulan, around 2 kms, pang hatid kay misis sa grad school (52kms) at pang gala minsan syempre.

- Downpayment: 50%, maybe 36-48 months ang duration ng loan.

- Vehicle load? Me and my wife, 3 kids, siguro madalas ko din isasama mom ko since never pa kami nakagala since ngayon palang lumuwag luwag sa buhay. So 3 adults and 3 kids

Ano po kaya ang pinakasulit?

1m-1.1m Budget

Brandnew kasi po hindi pa ko maalam sa kotse, yun din yung recommendation ng pinsan ko na nasa buy and sell ng mga sasakyan. Hindi ko daw malalaman agad kung may problema na ba pag daan ng humps, pag may problema na sa preno, kaya mag brandnew daw para 5 years wala akong masyadong isipin.

Maraming salamat!

Hello everyone. I need your opinion lang sa mga nakapag try na or merong mga unit na options ko. Im 27 years old with partner wala pa naman kids and for daily driver ko lang sana. Here are my options and could you include the km/L para alam ko yung fuel efficiency nya 😁

Civic S Turbo 2022 “not RS”
Civic RS turbo 2017
City RS Hatchback 2023

I need your opinion lang between the three. Least favorite ko si city rs but pwede nyo mabago insights ko about that car. Hindi naman sila nagkakalaro sa price gaano.

bibili pa lang ng kotse family wants new hilux so much, but not fitting current needs - give up on convincing or bad idea to buy?

7 Upvotes

hello, i posted a few months ago na anong kotse best fit para saatin, mag-update lang ako tungkol dito, acutally parang okay na ang 7 seater as long as may decent na cargo space na hindi naka-fold ang 2nd row.

pero, my family really wants the hilux, specifically yung E M/T 4x4. nagpipili na lang sila ng kulay, pero ang concern ko ay baka hindi kakasya sa totoong needs na 7 seater at magandang fuel economy. tapos most of the time, hinahatid lang ako sa school at dalawa lang kami, so parang sayang lang ang space at hindi din maganda para sa dpf at 14 km lang every day round trip, pero kapag every sunday naman, lahat kami pupunta sa church at kailangan ng 3rd row, tapos yung hilux 5 seater lang.

i'm considering the rush, pero ayaw nila ang automatic transmission (they want diesel manual). also considering the innova G M/T pero i'm fearing na ang 167 mm ground clearance niya ay not enough para sa steep incline ng garage namin. our other options ay xpander GLX M/T (considering its 225 mm ground clearance, 2 mm higher than our current sportivo) and stargazer X GLS Plus, with honda brv and suzuki apv as other potential options. byd emax 7 and mg g50 phev would be a solid option pero ayaw ni lola mga chinese brands.

general query Did Peugeot pull out of the Philippines? Are there any other branches still operating?

• Upvotes

Hello people! I was planning to view a Peugeot 3008, but when I came back to Pasig to check it out, the dealership had already been replaced by Mazda. Even the QC Ave branch seems to have switched to a different brand. I saw another Peugeot dealership in San Fernando, but it's a bit far, and I'm not sure if it's still open.

Did Peugeot pull out of the Philippines? Are there any other branches still operating? What happened?

Hi po, ask ko lg if saan prefer nyo? I’m leaning towards the mirage g4 kasi mas recent at lower ang presyo. But I really want the toyota because of the great reputation pero 74km mileage na. Saan mas piliin nyo based on your opinion?

bibili pa lang ng kotse Choosing a hybrid car: Need advice for newbie Car Driver

3 Upvotes

I really want a hybrid one para tipid sa gas because I will be driving mostly in QC, Marikina, BGC areas, and sometimes Antipolo, so super traffic. Occasional out of town trips din. It will be mostly me and my teenage daughter who will use the car daily, but sometimes my senior parents will join too.
Two weeks ago, almost sure na ko sa Yaris cross Hybrid, but when we saw the Ford Territory Titanium Hybrid, napa wow kami. I had a driver-mechanic with me who did the test drive and mas nagustuhan nya idrive si Territory. Mas marami rin features si Territory na feeling ko mas useful for new lady drivers like me. Marami na kong nabasa about Ford being expensive to maintain, pero baka owners of the hybrid territory can give their comments after months or few years of use? Thank you. Your inputs will be very much appreciated. :)

P.S. my child really loves the moon/sunroof. Mahal na yung Corolla Cross na may moonroof so medyo out na sya sa budget.

Hello, anyone who owns/has experience on the Subaru Crosstrek E-Boxer?

Can you please share some insights and honest feedback. Been contemplating on getting one :) Will do a test drive at the dealership soon too!

  1. How’s the infotainment system? I read it’s a bit laggy?
  2. Fuel consumption - good or bad?
  3. How’s the acceleration, after sales and reliability?
  4. Looking forward - is it difficulty and expensive to maintain compared to Hondas/Nissans?

Thanks in advance!!

repair query Auto Insurance Claim Issue: Malayan Insurance and Gateway Dealership Requirement

1 Upvotes

My car got involved on a minor accident. So upon claiming, I learnt that they will only approve claims on gateway dealership.

Now, I have already done a repair estimate on our nearest dealership paid 3k.

They are asking me to go on a nearest gateway dealership WHICH IS 3 HOURS AWAY FROM MY LOCATION. Imagine my commute going back and forth tapos in this economy?!

Ang hassle. Idk but this wasn’t disclosed upon getting the car. Ngayon naka ilang follow up ako requesting to have the repair near kasi mitsubishi lang din naman?! Antagal mag reply jusko been following up for over a month na

Has anyone have the same experience?! Need your inputs huhu

Hi everyone! I’m planning to buy my first car, and I’m considering getting a second-hand SUV.

Since this will be my first car, I’d like to hear your opinions and experiences. Is an SUV a good choice for a first-time car owner, or would it be better to start with a sedan or hatchback?

I’d appreciate it if you could share the pros and cons of owning a second-hand SUV.

I’m also open to recommendations for reliable second-hand SUV models that are beginner-friendly and worth the money.

Any advice, tips, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Sagad na yung 405k since galing sya sa 420k. Sabi kolng masyadong malayo pa sa market value kaya ibinaba narin nila eventually.

Note lang na it comes with freebies din kasi such as lipat pangalan, interior/exterior detailing, and PMS. Nag request din ako dashcam so ininclude nrin.

Malayo sya sa market Value na 350k pataas pero kasi yung freebies and sakit sa ulo is mawawala na. So 50k Convenience fee nlng sya. tingin nyo ok pa??

Looking to replace my old Montero unit with a hybrid.

Requirements:

2nd row captain seat with ottoman
hybrid ( since condo living)
7 seater

chatgpt recommended 2 options.

GAC e8 Hev

Right now I am partial to the GAC since it provides additional features such as massage seats. But I am concerned about the after sales service.

May I know your opinions on the matter? For those who are GAC unit owners, How was your after sales experience?
