Have something to add? Feel free to drop by the comments section! Also see: 10 Most Expensive Luxury Cars in the Philippines.
The suzuki alto standard at 398k is the cheapest brandnew Japanese car (albeit made in India). But, it lacks a lot of the basic stuff like power windows (even just at the front windows) and central lock/ing. Therefore, it’s not worth it when compared to a low-end Toyota Wigo which can seat 5, has central power windows and locking, airbags dual, among others (priced at around 450k to 470k). I am just curious why the low-end Alto in India priced at 2.49 lakhs is priced at 398k here in the Philippines. FYI, 2.49 lakhs is equal to around 182,000 php. If the low-end alto is priced at 300k, it’d be bang 4 the buck and would sell like hot cakes I guess. It’s engine is efficient I believe and may give you 18km/l in the city, I am open for comments or reactions regarding the price of Alto in the Philippines. Please do.
Ano po kaya ang lkotse rito ang may pinakamurang maintanence at spare parts? Salamat po.
how bout the Geely Panda LC? 250k Brandnew TOTL, ung lower end nila is 220k, 4star NCAP Safety rating. 1.3 DOHC
Merry Christmas Sir Yugatech, Chevrolet Spark 1.0L MT po maganda :) Sana this coming year magkaroon akoh ehehe
I think you forgot abot Geely LC priced like Hyundai Eon GLS at 498,000. Chery QQ if I’m not mistaken is around 300k only.
Maganda rin yung Honda Brio! Medyo unique yung design… Kahawig ng Volvo C30 -> http://www.volvocars.com/us/all-cars/volvo-c30/pages/default.aspx
Alam ko dpat na sma ung racal na mga vehicle kc may nkita aq na van ng racal mismo. Para malaman natin kung matibay ba
ung mga specs na naka indicate ay oang high end ata. pero yung price ay pang entry level.
we bought a toyota wigo a few months ago and okay naman ung performance niya sa mga kalsada dito sa baguio. we use the car everytime we go down to manila and super tipid sa gasolina. problema lang eh masikip lang talaga leg room niya. pero what the heck. basta komportable at may kotse eh okay na rin.
I own a spark. Not a fancy car. 3yrs now. Climbed to baguio this weekend. I love the stick shift. And the gas from calabarzon was just 70% of the full tank…
nakasakay ako sa celerio ng ka office mate ko
ang tigas pala ng suspension sa likod
tagtag talaga
nag rereklamo nga siya na matigas daw
mararamdaman mo talaga kahit konting bukol lang sa daan.
talaga bang ganun yun?
tsaka maliit nga sa loob
2013 model yung sa kanya, at ang aircon mejo mahina din.
alin ba sa mga small cars na yan ang pinakamalambot ang suspension.
sabi sa review matigas din daw ang Jazz.
Wala bang entry ang CDR-King dito?
Tatawa na ba kami, brad?
haha.. in fairness, natawa ako dito. to think na halos lahat ng products pinasok na ng CDR-King — from mobile phones, beauty products, appliances, office supplies, pati windmill at motorcycle — kaya bakit nga naman hindi pati kotse — USB-powered nga lang din. :)
How about Lifan 320? I guess that’s around 500k only and an instant looker in the streets.
Wala pa ba ang ‘Tata Nano’ car sa Philippines? This car can be had in India for about the price of 2 high end smartphones ($2000+). (Google Nano Car)
Sana mag labas ang China ng *quad core*….errr 4 Cyl. cheap car.
uhm, 4 cyl. Geely Panda for 250k bnew.
You forgot the Honda Brio.
… then again, ang pangit nung lintek na kotseng yon!
Ok sana tong mga to. Problema lang pag baha. Sa panahon ngayon ang hirap ma-predict kung uulan ng malakas o hindi. Hirap din umiwas sa baha kasi halos lahat ng kalsada na importante eh lubog.
Sana mag labas sila ng mga matataas na vehicle na abot-kaya ng bulsa. Pinakamalapit eh yung MT ng Ford Ecosport… kaso parang ang taas pa rin ng presyo eh.
nice info yuga,, i will buy that Chevrolet Spark this weekend for my younger sisters birthday gift:)
Kia Picanto should be included.
Toyota Wigo :)
Yan ang mga kotse na dapat bilhin matipid sa gas
Huwag lang mag Ondoy
sir abe what about Cherry QQ?
very nice information admin, pwede bang magtanong? ano po ba ibig sabihin nang all-in downpayment? kasi sa mga mall ang mura nang downpayment like sa kia is around 20k lang..
ty
All-in Downpayment includes whatever fees and taxes are required to pay before you can get the car.
Yep, mura nga ang all in down…pero matataga kayo sa monthly.
Anyway I am planning to get Suzuki Swift 1.2 :-) hopefully makaipon ng 20% down hehehe
Another thing…was told to have it bank finance than ahente kasi daw mas mababa ang monthly, yun lang mostly 20% down ang kelangan.
Included na yung taxes and other fees? o exclusive of tax etc..? So bali kung 20k yung naka lagay so 20k lang yung babayaran? oo nga medyo matagal sa monthly nways based sa review maganda daw ang kia, maraming freebies at malaki ang back compartment pero mas boto ako sa swift ganda kasi at medyo malaki din ang katawan
pag all in ata kasama na yung mga fees ng registration and insurance. Basta kukunin mo na lang yung car after payment, tapos magma-monthly ka na lang. Iyon lang pag mababa ang downpayment mas malaki ang monthly. Kung kaya mo mag 50% ka, para di gaanong taga sa tubo.
Hahaha…owner type jeep, ano to 1976?
bakit si nasama yung owner type jeep?
mirage g4…better looking…most efficient!
low price…
Its efficient sure. But its ugly. Its tight not too much room.
One of the worst cars made.
