I agree with your sentiments towards A/T vehicles. Mahirap talaga magmanual sa ganoon katrapik. Tried it before with a 1997 Honda City 1.3. Nangawit sobra ang paa ko! Pero kung manual na diesel, mas madali talaga gamitin. So I'd suggest you consider the Adventure as well. 4D56 engine means dirt cheap maintenance and low fuel costs. High ground clearance and heavy duty underchassis are much better suited to our poor road conditions and flashfloods. If you take good care of it, it will probably be ten years or more before you start replacing your first suspension component. 08-10 models will fit your budget.

I'm a 6 ft 1 guy, tried driving a sedan from espana to marikina, 2 hours stuck sa traffic, after i got off the car i can hardly feel my legs, knees down. Man grabe na talaga traffic.

Will try looking for adventure within my budget range.

BTW any idea how much an altis 08-09 AT cost?

Thanks so much
