Then ok lang ba kng ung 2.8 J dsl variant ang kunin ko? Lastly, pag nag spot cash payment ba ako, makakadiscount pa ba ako? Salamat.

Para sa akin pag 1st time driver mag 2nd hand ka muna ng kahit 1 year. Practice muna hehe para iwas scratches pag bago na car mo.

Mga sir kunin ko lang sana opinion nyo. Mag lalabas kasi ako ng g variant this month. Ok po ba yung alumina jade na color? Pansin ko wala masyado akong nakikita sa daan na color nun. Yung silver gray naman napaka dami sa daan. Eh yung pearl white ok po ba?

i'm a practical person.
i like silver, because it hides small imperfections (bangga and scratches!) well, and it hides dirt so that i don't have to clean it every day.
i also see my car as a tool, and not a status symbol.

i also feel a used car as a learning-to-drive-car is a good idea.
but in truth, it cuts both ways.
a used car might have defects in it, that might hinder the fun in learning to drive. i mean, how can TS judge a used car's condition, if he doesn't even know how to drive yet?
also, the paperwork involved in buying a used car is not exactly welcome.
but if you have the wherewithal... go brand new!

A cheap entry level budget vehicle would be another alternative ... Honda City, Toyota Vios, Toyota Wigo, Suzuki Swift, Mitsubishi Mirage, Suzuki Celerio ...

apologies if this has been answered already, but is there a door lever for the last (3rd) row to open the rear hatch, so people can exit also from the rear? TIA

None for the new one. Don't know about previous model. There's just a small panel that's covered which you can use to open the rear door from the inside in case the outside button fails to unlatch the hatch. Not to be used as a regular "opener" though.

Was looking at that color as well but for the G variant and up the green color when under the sun just doesn't seem to blend well with the brown interior. It's a personal opinion though so it's subjective. I do like it in shaded areas as it gave a darker shade of gray. For the E variant with black interior it looks nice. Pearl white is nice but hard to match if in case panels need some retouching. I still like it though but we settled for the blackish red.

none in the older models.
kaya siguro hindi popular ang innova na pang-FX. hassle sa chauffer pag may bababa sa likod.
and the front-facing seats don't help, either.
