Wigo vs Mirage vs i10 (M/T)

**Garry Respuesto** · September 10th, 2014 09:46 AM

Hello Guys,

Balak ko pong bumili ng new car, (M/T) and ito po ang mga nakita kong pasok sa budget ko. (1st car)
Gusto ko po sanang malaman ang mga pros and cons ng bawat isa at compare sa kung anung tipid sa gas.
Kahiya hiya na pero 0 (zero) knowledge pa po ako. and ayaw ko po na manghihinayang ako after ko makabili at biglang may magsabi na "Dapat ito ang binili mo"

Makikicheck nalang po ng picture.

Lahat naman yang 3 car na yan ay ok, in terms of tipid sa gas according to other thread ay mas panalo ang mirage. I have an i10 at ang masasabi ko matipid naman ito sa gas depende lang talaga sa trapik, route mo at oras. Pag Sunday drive 10-12kms/liter, pag normal day 8 to 10km/liter at pag hi-way 14-15 km/liter ang consumption (MT po ito). Di ako maka comment sa Wigo at Mirage., but if kung ako bibili pa lang maybe Mirage ang kukunin ko (mas matipid daw according to other forum).

Maraming marami pong salamat sa pagtugon.
Nov. pa po balak kong bumili, and opo base nga po sa mga thread mas maganda daw ang mirage kesa sa wigo.
Kaya ang ginawa ko nag search naman ako kay youtube ng kung anu anung mga review pero murang lumalabas na mas maganda ang i10 compare mirage eto link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQaVrDW9O9k

Ang problema lang daw po sa hyundai ay mahirap ang mga parts if ever na masiraan ako... Tama po ba?

so dapat pala hyundai i10 vs mirage nalang ang ginawa ko hehe

^ ok rin ang grand i10 pero mas mahal na. 1.0 nya pwede pang pagtiyagaan yung higher price nya kumpara sa mirage. Pero yung 1.2 nya ang layo na

Sir, kung yung basic maintenance parts like, air filter, oil filter, cabin filter, spark plugs eh napakamura lang and i think pareho lang yung ibang parts ng sa Kia Picanto at ang engine na first generation na i10 ay 1.1 epsilon engine ay katulad lang po ng sa Getz, so matagal na rin ang Getz na tumatakbo dito sa atin. At dun po sa Goodgear ang bilihan ng Kia/Hyundai parts, magugulat ka at ang mura lang ng mga basic maintenance parts. Pag sa casa syempre iba presyo....

I recommend you try test driving your choices.
The driving experience (comfort) might just make the disadvantages seem minor.
Ease of service or maintenance, or casa service performance, might also be considered.

My opinion...
Just standing still, the i10 seems to be the most comfortable. But I am still wary of Korean maintenance and quality issues, borne out of my Korean experience of 17 years ago..
The mirage seemed to me, offered more creature comforts than the wigo. The mirage was also reported to be more fuel efficient than the wigo. The mirage also had reported starting issues in some units, as amplified in the internet (heck! The internet amplifies just about any negative "feature" in cars now..).
But I got a wigo AT anyway, because... It's a Toyota (for whatever real or perceived advantages that would imply), and also because I could not find any internet wigo issues..

After 1-2 years, I will re-evaluate matters and change cars if I feel it is worth the change..

I actually went to the casa, intending to buy an innova.. But there was this minicar selling for half the innova's price... and I actually fit in it!... unlike other minicars previously, where I had to be shoehorned in...

since M/T ang pref mo, i'd get Wigo, then use the saved money for gas, at papasyal ako ng south luzon loop, then north luzon loop.

consider also the re-sale value....

Maraming maraming salamat po sa pagtugon. Everyday q binibisita tong thread at akala q dhil bago lng sa forum kaya walang nagbibigay ng idea.

To be honest po, currently training plang po aq magmaneho... kukuha palang po ng licence kya todo todo po tlga aq s pagsesearch d2 ng mga tungkol sa car na yan.

Ang problema q po sa wigo, kokonti lng ang nkikita q sa daan... dahil ba hindi ganun kasulit sya bilhin? Pero still looking aq sa wigo dhil mura lang at toyota pa... un ngalang mas matipid dw ang mirage s gas pero base s pagkakabasa q ay nsa a/t na thread ang pinaguusapan ndi m/t.

Yung i10 po ndi q tlga malaman ang presyo kung 488k b tlga which is mas mura p sya s wigo G.

Pa share naman po ng exp nyo s mirage 1.2 glx m/t.

Wigo E at wigo G po ba ay malaki ang pagkakaiba?

Hyundai i10 at grand i10 dn po malki din ba pagkakaiba? Wala po kc sa thread nila kung anu ang pagkakaiba. Thanks alot po.

EDIT: opo balak ko na po puntahan bawat isa pra macheck q mismo kung anu maganda pero still looking padin po aq s feedback nyo.

Sabi ng mitsubishi skin mawawala daw ung mga free 3yrs registration q pag sa regular payment aq napunta. Balak ko po kasi mag down ng 150k pra maliit lng monthly ko pero ayaw tanggapin... 20% lng dw tlga ang dp or ipapadaan pdw s regular but no freebies.

When I bought my mirage, it was still a toss up between mirage glx mt and wigo g mt up until the last day.

Reasons I bought the mirage:
The looks of mirage is better. Very subjective subject though.
FC.
Mirage is already 2 years old, compared to wigo which is new. Read: you will have a more general idea of the maintenance cost and issues compared to being the first one to experience it.
Since mirage is 2 years old, you will have more accessories and parts to choose from
1.2 engine vs 1.0 engine
30K discount compared to none for the wigo (note: this 30K bought me insurance since I paid in cash, accessories, rustproofing with ziebart) - if every I bought the wigo, I think I will also shell more or less the same amount
4 stock speakers compared to 2
supposed waiting time for the wigo g
mirage gray mica was available just after 2 days
although wigo feels more spacious, i felt that it just reduced the amount of area between the passengers and the door panels. Avanza is the closest thing i can think of as an analogy.

Some thoughts about my mirage glx
- soft clutch
- very light steering.
- nvh is so so.
- comes with steel rims with hubcaps. not really a deal breaker for me though.
- you come in contact with the knees of your passenger while shifting to 5th gear.
- averages 8-12 Km/l city driving. Full tank method yields 300km per 25 liters. Need to test it more in the highway though so no data for highway fc.
- Can get up to speed very fast.
- 91 ron is the minimum fuel rating
- no abs. Not a deal breaker fror me. At this price range, I wasnt expecting any. Plus, before mirage, I am driving a 20 year old car without any abs or other high tech fancy stuffs. I am not discounting the benefits of abs but my motto is if you learn how to drive without relying on added stuffs, then it can lead you to become a better driver.

Up front, the wigo has more to offer (mags, abs, gps reads navi, etc). But I chose mirage because of the above reasons.
HTH. Happy hunting.

Whichever car you choose, I think you will be happy anyway.
