Our choices at the time we were buying our 1st car was brand-new S-presso, Dzire, Brio, and Wigo back in January. Unfortunately, when we have enough money on hand to check on the prices in July, they all jacked up! The pricing of the lowest variant in January have matched the pricing of the highest variant. So we went on to choose 2nd-hand sedans such as Honda City and Toyota Vios. In the end, we have chosen Vios as with the same pricing of 10 year-old Honda City we get to have a newer Vios model. On our 6th month now, and never regretted our decision so far.
Finally! A video advertising alternatives to the very common vios!
Honda city all the way. Twice a year visit for PMS.,higher resale value than all competitors.
I'm leaning towards honda city because it is more fuel efficient than vios. But for longevity vios stands out.
As usual this content is good again, although the experience in viewing your videos could be furtherly improved by creating time chapters. :)
Let us all appreciate competition in the market. More players, more options and thus decreases demand and prices.
Let's make automobiles a need rather than luxury, especially in this modern age.
I hate to disagree but no, automobiles are only good as there are parking spaces, since many Filipinos can afford to buy a car yet cannot build/buy their own garages. Sakit ng ulo na yan palagi especially when they make use of sidewalks and widened road as parking lots, then they blame the government for the traffic. That's one bad piece of advice you can't get away with.
@@michaelkevinmirasol8256 I believe during CI, you must have your own parking space. Unless, if you're buying a repo
@@pauljoseph3081it depends on the Agent really😂
Buti sana kung ok infra dito sa pinas
I've been eyeing for Mirage G4 as my first ever car. But fall in love with MG 5 Alpha! ☺️
I have a vios and a city. I love them both.
If you're a car buyer that thinks long term, you would go for the Honda City. Resale value is unparalleled. Ofcourse the performance (Honda makes one of the best CVTs in the market currently). Parts are readily available. Its a well known japanese brand wala kang pag aalinlangan. There's a reason why it isn't cheap.
Let me guess - honda city owner ka no?
@@francisvalerio9303 mg s owner here. For me honda is the better option. bought mg s because that was the car that I could afford at the time. It was my first car so I was excited and impulsive. Don't have any regrets 2 yrs after. But I still appreciate how honda cars have high resale value.
@@francisvalerio9303 what's wrong with honda city owner?
@@francisvalerio9303 putcha savage hahahha
@@m.moonsie nothing, actually. and so are the other brands in this segment who've proven themselves already. ang tindi lang kasi nung write up eh haha, loyal na loyal sa brand / unit, kaya ang saya pag tripan
Well, just got my new nissan almera vl n-sport and loving it every time i drive.
It's currently the best in the segment imo
Correct me if im wrong, but i noticed that the prev models for almera (if not for most nissans) have a much larger depriciation value compared to most car companies
Honda city still on the top
@@jamesk2310 yes. Isang factor is magastos mag own ng nissan, lalo pag may edad na. Honda and Toyota ang pang matagalan. Kaya ang gaganda ng mga resale value nila.
@@knav5216 would that make it worth it to buy 5 year-old nissans, yung mura nalang yung price? Or mas worth parin bumili ng toyota/honda? Im currently looking for a first car e. TIA!
got my almera n sport... never had any regrets.. high torque... great response fuel efficient , sporty look and the techs...
I'd read somewhere Geely's Emgrand does have pending recall on china. There might be affected units here?
why does kia soluto has been left out?? Soluto EX AT priced at 850k w/ 140k discount = 710k for cash maybe a good choice
Sir Caco, you did not include the Changan Alsvin in the list. Why? The Alsvin came in earlier than the Geely Emgrand in the market.
My vote is in Honda City very Eligant and simple style Sedan of many pilipinos
what I want to hear is an official statement from Nissan that their new CVTs are fixed compared to the old Jatco CVTs that encountered numerous problems especially in North America... dito kc sa Pinas konti lang sales ng old Jatco CVT vehicles kaya konti lang reported transmission issues
Thanks for sharing this content, these alternative brands are compelling choices but for parts availablity, consumer's will still be choosing the vios 🤔👍
That is one of the first things to pop in our minds when buying a a car. Sure you can buy any preferred car of your choice, but always keep in mind that good car to last for many years, you always have to be sure there are parts available for replacement and maintenance. Simple is better. 🤗
@@lancecorgos683 exactly
@@braderlouie1081 Thank you. I'm glad we share the same viewpoint. People nowadays were blindsided by the stylized design and high-tech features of the car, not knowing if they're already available parts, and if there was, it could cost double or triple. Because not all people are rich enough to buy a brand new car, that most of us would they prefer to buy Vios or rather a second hand car.
@@lancecorgos683 agreed sir.. kahit Tatay ko eh, yan ang unang iniisip, kaya puro Toyota kami.. first car na binili nya back in 1998, Toyota Corolla, until now, Toyota pa rin, hindi mahirap humanap ng parts nya, at matibay talaga ang Toyota..
@@marie080385 Indeed. Mas marami pa ako nakikitang corolla from late 80s at mid 90s, ganun din ung first gen ng vios. I'd rather mag-invest ako sa car na more reliable and conditioned kaysa sa iba na puro style na lang pero mahirap i-maintain, regardless kung anong brand ng car ang hanap mo.
Caco, the MG5 Core MT, Style, and Alpha has Android Auto and Apple Carplay on their stock infotainment. I think you forgot that as you said "it doesn't have..."
Imho, seems the top variant mg5 is the best overall looks, price and features wise..
City and Almera. Can’t go wrong. Accent is nice esp the diesel. Got a bit more budget? Mazda2 is the best alternative
The Volkswagen Lavida, w a 1.4 turbo engine, currently sells at a discounted price of P918K.
That's a big discount. Price point yes you can compete to a Vios but different categories since the Lavida is a Compact Sedan.
@@JohnAgustinScuderia458595 The discounted price is very tempting considering the size and the turbo engine.
@@kotabg1946 oh yes the Lavida is a great car!
Hi👋 im looking for my first ever car what do you guys prefer and why? vios,almera or any other sedan
Mazda 2 and Hyundai Accent are still good choices. Basta iwas iwasan lang ang mga chekwa cars, nasa tamang kalagayan ka.
Changan Alsvin is super underrated and should be on this list. It’s a DCT yo! Walang wala ang CVT ng mga to. 🙃
Hey you seem to have overlooked Mazda's offering, the "2".
Anything on Soluto? Reliability, efficiency, etc?
How about the Mazda 2? GAC? Are they viable?
Nice message for the women's football team in the back.
I wonder why hyundai accent or elantra did not included in the video✌️
My answer to Caco's question: the GAC GA4 Sedan which is made in China but "50% owned by TOYOTA".
Ako nag almera ko kesa vios... Durability reliability and after sale parts andun din naman sa nissan almera. Kaya satisfy din ako sa choice ko
Honda City 💪🏼
May gap kayo sa hyundai accent autodeal? Pansin ko never pa ata kayo nag review ng accent correct me if im wrong.
My tito want to buy a car. My other tito told him to buy a big car, either an MPV, pickup, or SUV since the reason is for more seating for big family and cargo. He bought a Nissan Almera VL, because it is like a sportscar. The family members except my tito who bought the car is quite disappointed 😂
Gotta love the Almera! Haha
It's his money, he has every right to use it as he sees fit. Almera looks-wise is the best among the competition. Suzuki dzire owner here
Honda City is the best car in this line up 🤫
As a City owner myself, I agree but it also the most costly when it comes to maintenance.
@@NJohnGA10 true! But but not on my HONDA Brio RS BT haha
Saan gawa po ang Nissan Kicks?
If bbigyan ako libre, i ll choose city due to build quality. Yoko lng sa new vios/city is the length. Pinahaba pero di pinalakas
imo Toyota vehicles are the best and practical... Matibay Maasahan at may "MURANG" piyesa na laging available.
Mirage G4 for beginners. Flooring it will get the engine roar while speeding like a cute cat.
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
Emgrand for the win.. very business looking.. when it comes to parts i got the mags and side mirror after 3 months. Not bad for me.. in terms of fuel efficiency city is still winning but emgrand is very competitive, city and highway is about 14-18km/l not bad emgrand ❤️🥰
kamusta po emgrand mo today? Ito din pinag iisipan ko eh
Grabe Sa gas naman ang emgrand 😁
Why suzuki dzire didnt make the list??
One question is boggling my mind...
Where is the HYUNDAI ACCENT? How come its not included in this category? 🤨
Basic pinois will never abandon a Vios. Remove all vios on the road today and boom, traffic solved. Though the latest generation finally tried at least, Toyota is afraid of the emgrand taking their loyal customers but in reality, the typical vios lover doesn't see any other vehicle as an option.
@Bogz Media neh bro, no other car stands a chance against a vios loyalist
@Bogz Media You're not wrong. I would rather choose between Toyota or Honda over MG and Geely, not because of its brand loyalty. We need to understand that when buying a car, ensure that there will be available parts for replacement and maintenance.
Vios lover na sobrang bulok yong aircon.
Patawa talaga sobrang tinipid yong interior ng sasakyan halos lahat hard plastic at di pa leather ang upuan.
Bulok na nga over price pa.
@@Alex_the_great1990 mas bulok pag wala kang pambili kung yun lang kaya sa budget nila anong magagawa mo? Haha
Hyundai Accent?
Really enjoyed that one too! 1.4L Gasoline Engine mated to a 6 speed automatic trans with a touchscreen AVN with wired android auto and apple carplay straight from casa 😁 medyo malakas lang sa gas 🤣 pero solid yung engine kaya makipagsabayan sa ibang malalaking sasakyan maski puno yung sakay 😁
Hyundai Accent is discontinued
the only good thing on owning a vios is the fair price parts
What about Hyundai Accent?
Got the Honda city 2022, vios 2022 and Emgrand 2022. I'd take the Emgrand any day cause of its size and business look. Hoping that I won't get into an accident since parts availability isn't good for now
Wow Geely having issues with spare parts in the Philippines as well?
it's kind of weird to have those 3 cars at the same time. may i know why?
@@uragodpax0921 shared between the siblings in one household
@@muhsin_sultan from what I heard, yes
Watch in 5 years the emgrad loses most of its value out of the 3. But its good that you have 2 japanese cars to offset 1 chinese lol
Good content
Honda city is the best alternative!
Geely would be my choice if I was going for that style car, why, because of the input from Volvo in there designs and manufacturing.
Problem with Chinese cars are parts availability and resale value. Hard pass.
Honda for life!
Hope I could acquire the Volkswagen this year
Pinagpilian ko lahat yan last year pero I end up choosing vios,
Looks oo mejo matagal nasya pero for me maangas padin tignan lalo n ung mags nya ngaun xle ang pogi, dko type ung iba, although new almera type ko din, lalo na may bago lalabas na vios nxt year ganda din pero kontento nako sa unit namin (nabili na eh 😂)
Hindi ako gaanong mahilig sa mga feature, ung android auto nga dko man ginagamit, lagi lng Bluetooth at radio, mas prefer ko less features pero tatagal.
Reliability shempre toyota eh, lalo na sa parts pang masa, sa gusto natin o hindi tatanda ang sasakyan in the future madami lilitaw na sakit.
Service, galing ng service ng toyota specially toyota marilao, excellent 👍👍👍, laging humihingi ng update at nangungumusta kung ok ung unit and maaasahan sa anumang question at lagi nilang sinasabi na kapag nagka problema inform lng cla at gagawin agad ang sasakyan.
Me too, very satisfied naman sa after sales ng Toyota Silang (Cavite) 👍
Same
So am I. I'm very happy for a simple car that would last for a few decades than the ones with high tech features which will cost you more for upgrades and maintenance. Be practical, be safe. 😎
choice mo yan eh pera mo yan.
mazda 2 is my choice and you missed this one the best car in my opinion
Of course Almera. I wish I could buy it in Poland...
sorry but the mg 5 DOES come with apple car play
Bakit walang changan alsvin?
WHAT MG 5 no apple carplay and android auto lol? Its the main reason why i chose it haha
I was wondering why autodeal haven't reviewed hyundai accent/elantra yet.
Mazda 2?
my cars consists of a next gen sclass, e class, audi a4, and lexus rx. We got a geely emgrand recently and it rides/drives just as well! considering my ass is spoiled
i wonder why the hyundai accent isnt here?
Our Toyota Vios, Hyundai Accent and Toyota Fortuner are Heaven sent!
We never had any problems with them.
Pero oo nga ano, bakit walang Hyundai Accent? Tito Caco! Jack! How can you guys forget! Wag ganon! ✌️🤣
discontinued na po yata ang accent
@@dinorojales5372 for next year pero never sya nag review ng accent. May 2022 model na nun na nairelease facelifted di pa dumadating sa atin.
GAC GA4 ?
Where is the Hyundai Accent?
Sir Caco how could you forget the Changan alsvin? It's more affordable and quality wise than Emgrand, Santana, and MG? The only 1.5 DCT with sports mode than other competitors though no apple and android but Bluetooth,sunroof, and blind spot camera are there 😃. I do hope you consider it from the # 1 dealer in China 👍
Almera for me
no kia soluto?
ganda ng relos ni caco
Magtatanong lang po kasi may napapansin akong car brand "Tata" ata yun magtatanong lang if may review or magrereview kayo sa ganun? reliable ba?
Tata is made in India, and yes they are reliable. But the main question is if parts are readliy available?
Buy what you need and not what you want. For todays generation car is a necessity not a luxury. Buying a car is like buying a cellphone considering the features and benefits. If you just want a ride to and from the workplace I would rather choose santana, if you are more into sounds and music and safety features and traveling with your family I would rather choose the city. If you are single, yupie I would choose vios because its reliable, efficient, cheaper and parts are cheaper, after sales is great because its available everywhere.
Nissan Almera & MG
Best alternative is the 2023 vios
MG5 is almost perfect if they could just improve their aftersales performance. But there's still hope.
PS: I own an MG5. Superb performance talaga. Theyre still new and can improve better pa since theyre an established brand in other countries.
Don't even try, yung tiya ko nag sisisi na sa pagbili ng mg5 at at cherry tiggo, 2 years palang dami ng problema. Kahit over price ang mga japanese car pero sa quality di matatapatan ng chinese cars. At yung mga foton trucks ng tiyo ko na ginagamit s constructions lahat sira na. Di kc sila naniwala s sinabi ng Toyota marketing manager nung nag inquire sila na wag na daw makipag sapalaran sa chinese cars. Kaya ngayon grabi ang pagsisisi.
@@nyahahahahaha2087 Ano po ang naging problema sa MG5 at Chery Tiggo?
If I may share, ang Toyota Wigo ng kapatid ko, 4+ years n, wala pa din nagiging problema.
hala lagi ko naririnig ito parang ayaw ko na sa MG
...my...2 year MG5 is ok na ok.....
@@nyahahahahaha2087 yung kapitbahay namin ay merong mg5, 3 years na kanya, wala naman siyang naging major issue except the battery and the wiper. manual yung kanya. kaya plano kong bumili ng mg5 kesa sa vios. mas looker din ang mg5, mukhang premium kesa sa vios. with the exception nitong bagong labas na 2023 sa thailand.
anung naging issue nung sa tita mo po? dapat open ang discussion sa mga issue para matulungan yung mga prospective buyers kagaya namin.
dami kasing mga tao na nagpo-post ng negativity sa ibang brands because of the country of origin, which is China. Para lang yang Kia at Hyundai dati, noon wala silang tiwala sa Korean cars, ngayon mabili narin sila, at maganda narin ang availability ng parts. nagsisimula parin kasi ang MG, Geely at Cherry dito, yun ang isang risk.
Caco always the best.
asa miragr g4 owner, the car should be last on the list haha kulang features compared sa iba. if it was hovering around 600k -800k pwede pa. but at almost 1m na totl tpos ganun lang? nah.
Dzire?
All of these Subcompact Sedans are Fuel Savers due to its lower engine displacement.
no.7 hyundai reina/accent
The Vios outsells every other sedan a lot. Even if you remove the ones used as taxis.
Na try nyo na po ba mag apply ng SANGLA ORCR sa Global dominion Financing Incorporated?
Vios #1!
Still unmatched when it comes to reliability, affordability, parts, mods & safety.
but the santa rosa plant vios is goodbye..😅
@@AntiJEVsInPH that santa rosa plant is only an assembly line factory, spare parts are still being imported from thailand or malaysia and they keep on coming tax free so no worries there
i trust toyota bz4x recall for now bcuz wheels could come loose and dont bring here in ph, ugly design, poor black fenders under the wheel, no glovebox, slow charging.
go for ioniq5 or Ioniq6 and EV6 now for safety, design, reliable and sustainable material
Honda City.
MG5 Alpha owner here! Wala pa namang issue sakin. Okay na okay. Super gaan dalhin, hindi mahirap kahit traffic dahil sa auto break assist
Bago pa kc unit. Hintay ka ng 5 years. Toyota namin 40 yrs na still usable.
@@mariatheresafortunado1427 wag naman sana magkaissue lol good for you po 😊
MG5 FTW. And it does have apple car play and android auto.
Almera design is top notch, HP is disappointing... transmission is a concern until an official statement from Nissan
How about suzuki ciaz?
Discontinued na ang Ciaz
For a first car, buy 2nd hand. Shit, you can get a Camry for the same price, and it's much bigger and roomier, as well as more comfortable.
6 Best Toyota Vios
Vios #1 tho
how i wish toyota did a hatchback vios
we do. we call it wigo
emgrand fo the win
MG and Geely are dangerous choices for maintenance and afterlife support. Where you gonna get the parts? Would they be able to still provide parts 5 years from now? How do we know that MG and Geely are reliable and can stand the test of time that Vios easily flexes on?
On VW's case, it's German so we can fully trust them in terms of quality and reliability, I just hope the parts aren't astronomical in price and easy to source.
The Japanese brands are still by far the safest choices, unless MG can guarantee to the Filipino people that they're here to stay and support their customers for 20+ years to come.
The Santana, like majority of the VW models offered here, is made in China; so parts availability is no different from MG and Geely.
I'm pretty sure you can get parts from the casa. Geely's been here for some years now, and so far they're doing ok.
I know that's not the narrative people who are Toyota fans wanna push but objectively Geely has been on a roll. It's Coolray's outselling the Corolla Cross, and it's starting to get more attention as the years go by,
The vw is also made in china and designed there
Agree with you about MG, however Geely now has Volvo as part of its family and you can see that with the designs that are being rolled off the production lines. Parts and support, there doesn't seem to be any issues there.
Lol at this take. Sounds like Sinophobia
we want the car can last up to 300k miles odometer i think only toyota can give that durability
You forgot the suzuki ciaz
No Hyundai Accent? Hmmm
The GAC ga4 is soo underrated its insane specs, price, aesthetic , tech drive etc all great. The only thing is its a chinese brand, but its a hidden gem. shangri la uses it as their fleet car
Almera ☺️
I'd go with Honda and next to that will be VW.
Pucha akala ko si Rico Yan yung nasa thumbnail hahaha
Emgrand for me kahit anong mangyare itutuloy ko pag bili.. talamak na ang mga chinese car sa china hindi imposible na dumami din ang parts tulad ng japanese car sa laki ba naman ng bansa nila :).. para ka lang din bumili ng EURO Car mas mabilis pa bumaba RESALE VALUE.. parang FORD napaka HIRAP ng Pyesa
