Car for a young dad

TBH, getting the spin would be pushing the budget. I'll let them know of the carens, i forgot about it. Shame

Hard to beat talaga ang innova. The best ang carens but you are already looking at mid size suv. Kaya mas practical ang innova

Anything with a massive trunk space should be the number 1 priority. Stroller pa lang, kamot ulo ka na. Plus grocery bags, baby bags, and all the massive travel must haves when bringing the precious baby/toddler along. The rest is dependent on budget.

I got through that stage with my trusty hilander. Had absolutely no problem with space and if the little kid (then) wanted to play with the talc powder, the floor of the rear seat was big enough to be her moving playground.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL !!!

My friend test-drove the Spin last month: it was noticeably underpowered daw even with just three people on board. Even the sales agent they drove with admitted it and mentioned that that was why Chevy didn't bother to bring the automatic diesel variant here. Struck that one off even though it was at the top of their list.

I vote for the Ertiga. Seems really sulit and good reviews abroad.

I still say that the Innova is the most practical car for most Filipinos today.

Seats 8, rugged chassis, lots of space, affordable parts, fuel-efficient...what else do you need?

Obviously not the most attractive but hey, it's a family car right?

Honda SIR!

innova talaga, kasya lahat ng gamit plus yaya and baka sama pa grandparents pag lalabas kayo..

pero SIR talaga maganda

Working with a budget of P800k hands down I'd recommend a brandnew Avanza AT.

Seats 5 without problems with cargo space. And should you need added seating capacity you can defintely stretch that to a 7 seater. Clerance is slightly higher than a subcompact, yet overall dimensions are perfect for narrow roads.

Fuel consumption is also good.

Underpowered? Nahhh.. Turbo wakes up at 1.7k rpm, torque is just right. Did a long distance 6 adults(inc 2 yayas) 1 kid 1 toddler, no problem at all.. I cant fault the motor, FC during trip was 19k/L the most frugal diesel i drove. Only thing i can fault is the middle and 3rd row seats, with its limited adjustments and upright position.

I agree with most suggestions here. 1st car noobness, get the tried and tested Innova. Pag aralin mo nalang ng M/T para swak sa budget.

I would recommend the Innova as your first choice
comfortable in the inside , can hear road noise at 100kph
spacious
fine crdi engine
cons- low gorund clearance

2nd Isuzu crosswind/sportivo

how much ba yung budget?

**cast_no_shadow** · December 26th, 2014 07:05 AM

O landslide na innova na yan! Hehe yes for a young dad? Complete package na si innova. Seating capacity and storage? Pasok yan!

Magkano nga budget?
