What the heck do you mean by "above" and "lower"?

I assume lower includes Chinese cars and other less known brands

Toyota or Honda and above means Lexus and other European brands?

overrated ang ground clearance

i replaced my honda city with this, which has almost the same ground clearance, approach/departure angles as my jimny. pero wala din, coz it's fwd

you run out of traction before you run out of clearance

so i regret buying it. should've gotten a honda jazz instead

I wonder what is the criteria for being "lower" car.

I would keep the car running well. It's 1 of the simpler, more reliable ones out there.

Stay nippon for better longterm ownership. Our Korean episodes were generally disappointing. Apologies, K-fans.

Planning to replace my aging Honda City with the following:

1. Changan CS55
2. GAC GS3 Emzoom
3. Toyota Yaris Cross
4. 2019 Hyundai Sta Fe

Considerations:
- 1-3 passenger(s) most of the time (though I sometimes bring my parents with me on my out-of-town trips)
- provincial trips 2x a year (Benguet)
- owns a Sportage CRDI
- Budget is 1.3M

Which car would you recommend? I'm open to other suggestions.

Thanks!

Nakapag-decide na ba?
IMO, have the current Honda City properly maintained and keep it, since me 2nd car ka naman.
But if you have to replace it with a new one, buy the Yaris. . .stay away from them Chinese brands.

Take into account that just because its Japanese/European/Korean/American-branded its already good. There are branded cars now that are only sold in SE and China because they would not pass the more stringent controls of the home country.
