The reason i asked this question is that most of the posters, I believe, have 2-3 cars ( I have 3 ( LC Prado (2010), Fort (2013) and Mazda 6(2010) and I am thinking of getting another one (explo or xtrail) of flipping the Mazda 6 for another mid size sedan ( Teana 2nd hand or camry )and your inputs are helpful.
Categories na lang ser. To me, this would be better so you don't have cars that serve identical purposes.
1st Car - Mid Size SUV (Prado/Grand Sta Fe/Pajero); Don't particularly like the asean pick up based ones
2nd Car - Mid Size Sedan (Camry/Mz6/Legacy); A "Formal" car that you can cruise in yet pack enough power on tap whenever you feel like it
3rd Car - Van (New Carnival/Alphard); to roll your fambam in style
4th Car - Small car for errands/light utility (Soul crdi/Jazz/Accent crdi); yung pwede mo lang ipark sa dulo ng garahe/labas for easy movement pag mag grocery run.
If I have a 4 car lineup, it would be these...
Fiesta Ecoboost
Lexus IS350F Sport
Subaru GT wagon
Ford Explorer 3.5L Ecoboost
+1 on this.
In my opinion, i would prefer to have specific cars for specific categories or conditions.
1st car = Weekend car/sporty car - a car that you would use for sunday funruns, occasional nightouts. (toyota 86/BRZ, mazda miata, nissan GTR/370z, for mustang, any convertible)
2nd car = Off road, flood worthy, panharabas na auto - usually a pick-up or one of those mid sized diesel SUV's. (toyota hilux/fort, mitsu strada/monty, isuzu dmax/mux,)
3rd car = an good executive luxury sedan - something to use everyday at the office that can accomodate clients etc. (toyota camry, honda accord, mazda 6, nissan altima)
4th car = a big van ( if you have a family ) - something to use to ferry the kids to school and other errands. (toyota grandis, hyundai starex, nissan urvan)
Most of these car can be overlapped by 1 car. reducing the number of cars you would need.
Like a Toyota land cruiser lc200 can do both #2 , #3 and #4.
A Subaru Impreza Sti can do #1 and #3.
A mid sized suv like the fortuner/monty/mux can do #3 and to an extent #2 and #4.
Bakit hindi pwede euro?
BTT:
Toyota Land Cruiser
Nissan Super Safari
Toyota Camry
Subaru Impreza WRX
I'd go with a Carnival or Starex for a van, a Landcruiser for large SUV, a Santa Fe for a midsize SUV and an Accord V6 for a midsize sedan.

hmmmm..... car fleet eh?
4 na Toyota Vios J Variant in White....
Taxi fleet.... hehehe
When you talk about a fleet, first consider what they are mainly used for. It's either transport for passengers or transport of cargo. Also, consider parts and service availability and cost per passenger per mile.
Kia Sorento 4x2, my wife's daily drive. Nahihiram ko din when parking is an issue where I'm going.
Mazda BT50 4x4, my farm work horse and for school runs as I give the misus a break when I am on vacation.
Hyundai Grand Starex, our weekend and coding car. Most of its miles are from long drives on long weekends, holidays, sem breaks and summers.
Thinking of a Hyundai Genesis Coupe or a Subaru BRZ. Thinking lang, di na kasya sa garahe. Baka mabenta ang Sorento if ever.
If I'm to rethink my priorities, I would rather have this lineup for my own future family (wife & future kids)
Suzuki Swift 1.2 Gasoline - For congested future city driving
Kia Soul Gasoline - for congested future city driving
New Mitsubishi L300FB - for hauling stuff / appliances / furnitures / business sideline / people mover / with occasional driver
right now, we have 2 aging mid-size SUVs and 1 Starex and 1 aging L300FB. walang araw na wini-wish ko may small car kami just to relieve stress the way
Manila traffic has evolved right now. Ang Hirap na magdala ng malaki car
With the booming population, improving economy, and aggressive car low downs, it's gonna be hell on the roads for years to come in the metro.
I used to dream of 2 door sportscars like the genesis / t86, but I think masasayang Lang ang mga engine Neto sa all day round
bumper to bumper trafficmageddon that will come for us
and do notice, medyo Iwas na ako sa diesel Suv, 2 of our aging SUv are crdi's,
These cars are money pit as they grow old, sa battery pa Lang Nyah kelangan 6sm or higher w/c cost 8k up with a lifespan of 2 years. Simple gasoline cars have small batteries which can last up to 4 years, and with the quality of diesel sa'tin, our diesel SUVs been sick so many times intermittently, na I would like to conclude diesel quality
ang culprit. Why? This parang wala naman incentive ang mga oil dealers dito to
Follow the euro standard, since sa'tin lang naman Mura ang diesel coz of
pUvs and trucks. Imagine buying expensive diesel SUVs with substandard PUV diesel fuel
Tsk tsk
