Dear ZTHians,
As per the title, a lady friend who once asked me which of these 2 are better as she loves both of
these models but still prefer a hatchback. Anyhow, Almeria seems to be in her category even
though is not a hatchback.
So, her question is which car to buy. There are 3 concerns:-
1) Resale Value
2) Maintenance
3) Spareparts
For me, I told her I would go for Ford Fiesta. I say best to narrow down to 2 models that you like
which is easier to make a choice later. So, she told me is either Ford Fiesta or Nissan Almeria.
Resale value, for Ford cars, are usually not famous for their resale value. While Nissan cars, are
just so so if we were to compare with Toyota brand. Since Almeria is still new, is hard for me
to tell on the resale value, whereby there are getting more Ford Fiesta on the road.
If there are high demand for Fiesta, might improve on resale value. This is all just my POV.
Correct me if im wrong.
So, I say so far there are good feedbacks for Fiesta. FC is not too bad either. Spareparts?
Well, if she is the type who service only at Service Centre, is not to worry as well. Yet,
there are lots of aftermarket parts nowadays.
Maintenance wise, appreciate if anyone who owns one can share on the maintenance for the car both Almeria and Ford Fiesta.
For car price around 80 - 100K, there are lots of choices but that would just confuse her
on which car to take.
If you guys have any other cars that qualify for the 3 criteria to suggest, then feel free to suggest.
The only car I can think of that meet that 3 criteria is Vios. But she prefer a hatchback.
Maybe Yaris? or Suzuki Swift Sports?
Still car suggestions are welcome but would like to know more about which car to choose
either Fiesta or Almeria.
Basically I dun like the design of Almeria. Gadgets and design wise, Fiesta is better as well. Fun to drive compact car.
Thanks in advance for all advice, opinions and suggestions
