Hi everyone! I'm currently torn between the suzuki ciaz and toyota wigo a/t as my first car. I would be using the car primarily from home to work. I have 0 knowledge about cars that is why I would want suggestions on my soon to be first car from the pros in this forum. Feel free to share your thoughts. Thanks everyone :happy:
Both are different platforms. The ciaz is a subcompact, where it's rivals are the vios and city while the wigo is a mini hb that rivals the mirage hb and eon or celerio. If you're going for the a/t, then the ciaz is a better choice as it has a bigger engine over the wigo. The latter is better with a m/t than an a/t.
0 knowledge in cars means you'll probably be going to the dealership for repairs and maintenance.
In that case, your best bet is probably going with the Wigo.
Also consider: Vios, City.
Thanks sir, but in your opinion is the suzuki ciaz good for a first time car owner?Quote:

if you will be doing hi speeds and long drives, get the ciaz. "hindi bagay" ang wigo ko sa long, hi speed drives.Quote:

If only for being a more "proper" car, i'd go with the Ciaz. And being quite uncommon on the road, it's quite a headturner too. I would guess it would also handle better and drive better too. Well, that's not considering after sales support, which you probably need to do more due diligence if you so decide on the Suzuki.

WIGO is NOT a Toyota... It's a Daihatsu.
Same as Jut. If you're going to shell out 773k for a Ciaz, I would spend an extra 30k to get a City E CVT. If you're going to get this thru a loan, the difference will be minimal but you get a better car with the City.
