I think medyo mas mataas fuel consumption niyang Honda Accord compared with Mazda 323 GLXi. If okay with you, suggest consider Honda Accord with automatic transmission.
99-01 accords yung parang shark look would be better. masyado na luma yung 94-97.
galant shark look OK din
cefiro 98-01 is what i would suggest.
kung gusto mo malaking car and ready ka for the fuel consumption (medyo malakas), i further suggest na mag automatic tranny ka na. 2.0 cars, a/t or m/t, pareho lang halos sa konsumo. e di dun ka na sa mas convinient diba?
fuel economy across all the models i mentioned would be from 5-7 km/liter. advantage mo lang jan yung maluwag na interior, relaxing ride, extra power, more gadgets, saludo ng mga security guard sa village, generally better underchassis parts, at bragging rights (pare yung pinambayad mo jan sa corolla mo pang gas ko lang sa isang bwan, nyehehehe).
