Gusto nya ata ung elantra pero mahal ba talaga yun i maintain?

For the camry naman., okay lng ba FC at maintenamce nya?

^^^ If Camry is a suggestion, then consider also the Accord or Mazda6. They are better for folks who drive their own cars.

Midsize cars tend to consume more fuel than the usual compact or subcompact mainly for the reason they have bigger engines. A midsize with a 4-banger NA engine (between 2.0L to 2.5L) would do around 6-7 km/L on city driving routes, similar to most CUVs with the same engine size. Midsize cars are much more durable though as they are designed better to deal with its bigger platform.

In terms of maintenance? Does midsize cost the same as the compact/subcompact of the same price range?

parang yung nasa isip nya is Elantra>Civic>Jazz.
Halos sold na siya sa elantra kung hindi lng dahil sa reliability.

Mejo mahal hyundai. Every 5000kms ang PMS. Ako kasi sa casa lang talaga ko nagpapaPMS, if he'll do the same baka mapamahal sya. Mas mahal kapag 10k pms lalo na 20k pms and 40k pms kasi mas marami pinapalitan. I remember, sa 80k pms ko, inabot ako P21k. And that is just for an Accent 1.4L(manual).. Also im always using fully synthetic for my engine oil.

Mahal din parts, nung nireplace ung aircon pulley ata yun, they charged me 12k for the item alone.. Wala pa labor.. So "$$$kaching$$$" nanaman yun for hyundai! Haha!

I'd gladly drive a (my) Camry .. (if I had one) ...

BTT:

Owning a bigger car, is like "more" car for your money's worth.

Better interior materials, better safety features, etc.

Re: Hyundai, yeah medyo over-acting ang brand na yan when it comes to aftersales parts and service.

Plus midsize sedans feels much more comfy
