Student ka lang, Vios ka na.

Pag nag-AUV ka, baka gawin kang school bus ng mga kaibigan mo. Haha.

Kung gusto ang maangas, matibay, mataas at malakas humatak, pero ayaw maging school bus, there is the 3 door Pajero.

Very unusual choice, but if you can be sure of the conversion quality, its a very nice, go-anywhere car. If you take good care of it, it'll last much longer than those sedans. Looks timeless too.

If you want a small sedan, the Vios is a good choice. Since you're mostly alone anyway, the cramped cabin shouldn't be a problem to you. It's very fuel efficient and cheap to maintain too.

Sakit sa bulsa mag-maintain ng Pajero Pag student ka. Presyo palang ng tires mamumulubi ka na.

Salamat po talaga sa mga input! Medyo stretch ko na budget ko to 400k. Mukhang marami nga problem yung Jazz.

Si TS ba mismo ang babayad sa maintenance ng sasakyan?

IMHO, the tires would be of minimal concern since they last a long time. If by the time the TS buys the car and the tires are still quite new, the TS may have already graduated for a few years before the tires would need changing. Old school diesel din naman ang 3 door Pajero so maintenance cost is not very expensive.

*TS: From what school are you? Does it flood a lot in that area? What are the road conditions of your route? Baka kawawa naman si Vios kung sakali eh.

For 400k you can also already get a decent Altis or Civic FD.

Ako po lahat magbabayad sa lahat ng gastusin. Independent na po ako. Sa ngayon hindi pa sure kung aling college pero sa Espana ako nakatira. :D

May ino offer sakin yung kaibigan ko na Honda Jazz/Fit AT 2008 model. Eto ba yung prone sa CVT issues? Good buy ba ito for 350k?

**enterbay** · May 26th, 2012 08:28 PM

Ang Ford Focus 2008 AT model po kaya? Ok po ba ito?

**GTi** · May 26th, 2012 09:39 PM

Yung Focus medyo may kalakasan yan sa gas bro. Only Focus variant I'll consider is the TDCi. Saan parte ka ng Espana? Bahain yung University belt ah. OK lang ba sayo mag-sedan?
