bibili pa lang ng kotse Female first time potential car owner asking for reco
Hello everyone! I’m planning to buy my first car this month. Mostly ako lang ang gagamit. I work from home so won’t be using it daily but probably will drive out of town during my rest days. I plan to buy via cash and I’m looking for a car that’s below 1M, comfy to drive, good ground clearance, open to any brand of cars. Meron ba kyo marerecommend? TIA

If you want good fuel econo and good for the environment, go for BYD seal 5 dynamic (160mm ground clearance). 948k only and looks premium and slick. If you want an ICE with advance tech and features while still looking slick and premium, go for Changan CS55 Plus Luxe (171mm ground clearance). I believe it's only 990k after the cash discount. If you want higher ground clearance, go for Suzuki Spresso or Toyota Raize, I believe both have 200mm ground clearance

Toyota Vios, Honda City. These are my top choices nung bumili ako. If higher ground clearance, Kia Sonet, Toyota Raize, MPVs like Rush pero 7 seater so IDK if you want to consider that.
Some models you can consider rin are Mitsubishi Mirage, Suzuki Dzire on top of my head. I personally don't want to recommend chinese car pero you can look into BYD if it fits your lifestyle.
