Avanza for me! Roomy and new looks... . People will look on the new model than a 'little' old altis. That's me only.... But of course sundin mo ang tibok ng puso mo.. .

Cool Re: Discounted Toyota Altis 1.6G A/T or Newly prized Avanza 1.5G A/T

Considering the kids, the Avanza is a winner for you. Better payload than the Altis.

Provincial trips? Mas comfortable yung ride ng Altis, IMHO. But if you're considering the 1.5 Avanza, why not stretch for the Innova instead? It still rides like a truck, but it's got lots of space, and enough weight to keep the suspension settled. The Avanza, on the other hand, is very light, but is sprung to carry heavy loads, so it can get a bit skittish and bouncy... okay lang sa city, but unless you're used to AUVs, it might be taxing on long provincial trips.

There are lots of other cars in your price range, but the only other seven seater as cheap as the Avanza is the Suzuki APV, and that really rides like a truck.

Split the difference... Honda City 1.3 CVT? Amazing fuel economy, huge trunk (at 500 liters, it's over 100 liters bigger than the Corolla's). It's narrower than the Corolla, and rides a bit stiffly, but the fuel savings over the Avanza would be enormous. Plus, 10,000 kms yung service interval niya... which is a plus if you're not there often and can't see to your car's maintenance. My uncle-in-law uses theirs to go to Bicol to visit their farmland. They ride four-up, and always bring back lots of stuff.

Kaya lang, weirdo ang itsura... pero practical talaga. Ibang klase ang tipid sa gas, if you can't afford a diesel car.

given the choices, Altis pa rin ako. it'l also hold it's value better than the Avanza IMO. The City seems okay too based on what Niky described.

as mentioned, test both and go where your heart is...

ibang klase si Bimbim, love na love yung outlander ah.

the avanza's bouncy.

a sedan fits your profile, unless you're adding more kids.

go with the altis. if you're in a tighter budget, get the rio.

I think the Altis has is better build and crash rating than the Avanza.

Have your wife bring your kids to the dealership and see how you fit in the cars, join them if posible. Imagine if the seating capacity and trunk space is enough. Then test drive both cars and see what she likes more.

if you're wife will the one to drive...altis is the decent choice, comfort,confidence and presentable in any gatherings...to me auv's/mpv's for ladies its appealing to drive an innova rather than the rest looks cool to them or maybe its just me...
