1.222 I think, not sure kung may discount pa. Considering this too, but kung ito, kelangan pa mag ipon pandagdag ng down. I dont want/cant afford to pay more than 16k monthly

It's worth it to save up more for the Innova since it's a more practical car. Downpayment of 480k (40%) so that you can keep your monthly payments under 16k/month.

On the other hand, the Ecosport Trend is only 885k and already has all the basic things a first-time car buyer needs, except generous space. However, since you only have one daughter, it shouldn't be much of an issue. You can get one for roughly 180k DP and 15k/month amortization.

Eco sport vs the asx sa space and storage?

Asx is almost 1m lang dahil sa 100k discount.

ASX, definitely. The ASX is wider, which is good for bigger guys like you. Space in the back is still quite small compared to sedans like the Altis and Civic, but bigger than the Ecosport.

The only reason naman kasi i chose/considering asx is

Price, after discount its only a little over 1m.
For a subcompact suv, mura na siya, with abs
Hindi mahaba so I dont think first time driver like me ay mahihirapan
And looks, medyo suv-ish na talaga tignan

Other models like the tucson kasi mahal na and mataas daw maintenance

Well if you like the ASX, then go for it. [emoji1303]

Always buy something that will maximize your happiness. No use settling for a different car even if it's cheaper or more practical if you're not happy with it.

As you very well have noticed, my car knowledge is next to 0. Kung computers lang yan, networking or programming palag palag pa eh hahaha.

Sa ngayon medyo kinakabahan pako kasi no matter sino tanungin ko, pag hindi toyota, lagi sabi "mahal maintenance niyan"

The only downside of the ASX is that it's not fuel efficient. We have one in the family and it's a pretty decent car. Maintenance is higher than, say, a Vios, but it's just the same as with all other CUVs.

ASX I think is CVT. To me CVT is not yet ready to compete with the conventional Automatic Transmission. Rear wheel drive is still the best.... performance and maintenance wise. Nagsisi narin ako kung bakit ako bumili ng front wheel drive na kotse buti nalang isa lang ang FWD ko at lahat ay rear wheel drive and 4x4 na.

Aside from the ASX, an increasing number of cars today come with CVTs:

- Lancer
- Mirage
- Altis
- Vios
- Yaris
- Civic
- City
- HRV
- BRV
- Mobilio
- Sylphy
- X-Trail
- Forester
- XV
- Impreza

None of these cars have known CVT issues. The CVT on the ASX has been around since 2008 (first used on the Lancer), and improved in 2014 coinciding with the ASX's facelift. Again, no issues.

Also, stop with the misinformation regarding RWD vs FWD. A rear-wheel drive Avanza is no match to an ASX when it comes to performance. Maintenance of a FWD is no different from an RWD - Regular PMS, change of fluids, occasional replacement of suspension bits and other things that give out due to wear.

I just have to ask. Why is your handle "ako malibog" spelled backwards?
