Planning to get my FIRST BN CAR (Sub Compact)
« on: April 05, 2012, 11:26:38 am »
Hi there, am planning to get my first CAR,
SUB COMPACT, but i can decide what to get.
My choices are;

Chevy SPARK
Suzuki CELERIO
Kia PICANTO

Budget, 600K

I have no idea on cars maybe,
you guys can help on terms of performance, interior, exterior, and such?

Iv already watched and read reviews from brands above,
pero iba pa din yung galing sa first hand users. HELP!!!!  ;)

in terms of performance all of them were equally good as far as minicars go

The chevy spark is probably the flashiest of them all especially the top of the line 1.2 liter. The celerio and picanto also looks good but the spark's unconventional lines standout in traffic.
Interior wise the picanto has the edge, it feels better built and classy compared to the sporty theme of the celerio and geeky theme of spark.The picanto feels the roomiest of the 3 though I'm not sure about the luggage space but don't expect much for these kind of cars when the rear seats are up. If you spend most of the time driving in traffic, get the celerio for its smaller 3 cylinder engine will consume less fuel compared to the spark and picanto. However if you use the car in occasional long distance driving get the 1.2liter spark, the additional juice is useful in highway driving.

I'm able to drive all of these cars and I can say that the spark gets the nod

Cool review! Thanks sir, i was eying the spark too cause of its looks, 1.2 in particular, am just waiting for the AT model to come out.

Again, thanks!
