IMHO 1.2 and 1.3....definitely out cause they would be lacking on power.....

ciaz......ertiga...and cruze.....aint too sure about as parts wise and maintenance wise it gonna be expensive cause its LM you gonna be dealing with

they call the ertiga a 7 seater buts it really is small looking.....resale value on these gonnna be pretty low after a few years.......

versa is way ugly....and sentra well...we gonna be flooded with those foreign used just now....it already started....

the elantra may be nice as its nice looking and spacious.....may not hold resale value though and not sure about reliabilty as its a hyundai....

how about the toyota corolla and kia cerato?

Civic is like $217 so that's a bit more than his price range.

The City is $153k ; worthy of consideration if u willing to go CNG.

Corolla and civic are over $200k.

Cruze is an American car that original parts can be imported from the US cheap. Spoke to a guy with a PCS 4 yr old one.

Ciaz has real good features but engine is 1400cc.

Ertiga not really so small as seat itself is big. So it only looks small. It's really a Maruti but I'm not sure about how it performs. A 7 seated is really what I was looking at.

Suzuki's are good cars.

Ppl always mention this.^^^

In the past yes Toyota was king in resale value and to a point still today.

Vehicles being produced by other makers now(ie. Hyundai, Kia, Chevy etc.) are quite desirable to the public, they have proven so far to be reliable and aren't expensive to maintain improving those brands' resale value from what it was 5-10years ago.

Prices for parts at Toyota is ridiculous compared to others. I know this for a fact I deal with them and other dealerships quite often.

In years to come I believe the "winds of good resale value" will shift a bit. Toyota Trinidad is screwing us with terrible features, under powered vehicles and high vehicle and parts prices.

Just my opinion tho.

While yes, Toyota parts from the dealer are expensive, it would be quite some time before a new Toyota requires maintenance parts i.e. suspension, engine etc. And even then there are a host of aftermarket brands available that are also of very good quality. My good friend owns a PCS Corolla, the basic version and after four years and 150,000kms, the only thing he's changed is a rim that he bent, suspension and engine run like new still. The only negative may be body parts in the event of an accident and if you're going fully comp then that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

It would be a factor when the Insurance company hits u with depreciation lol. The Cruze, Elantra and Cerato have been around a while and never heard of owners having serious issues either so it would really come down to what ppl believe a badge is worth. Doubt a run of the mill Corolla or Yaris can be seen as any more prestigious :?

test drove the Cruze on saturday...it was sweet. Good power, sits and handles well on the road. No blind spots or uncomfortable feeling compared to others in their design ie height of trunk / headrests blocking rear view. Sporty yet executive!

Hey guys and gals, we invite you all to come down and test drive the Suzuki Ciaz and Chevy Cruze!

Even though the Ciaz has a smaller 1.4L engine it certainly isn't any slouch. With Suzuki's VVT and enhanced engine design it makes driving a pleasure while still offering excellent fuel efficiency. Comes standard with a 5 Year Warranty and starts at $156,650 and available for $166,650 fully loaded.


11807730_878644952251014_9127205594976169164_o.jpg


We urge you to come take a test drive and see for yourself :)

Test drive at least 3 prospects leaving the one you leaning towards for last.

I agree with worksux that the CNG Honda City should be on your short list.

Boy stick to Toyota! A new Corolla and you good to go. If a man pay $20000 for a 2005 Accent he get rob, a 2005 NZE man wa $60000

If you feeling to go on the luxury side Camry or C180 FU ftw.

the corolla price is $70k more up front to get back $40k more after 10 yrs...doesn't add up to me.
