Best Options for 300k Automatic?

mda, i've been reading about the sentra threads a lot! the only disadvantage is that it can't go fast. (no prob with me...) Now, I'm trying to find out if I can take it to baguio or drive it on batangas dirt roads. (yes, vacations are very impt to me ) Or will the car's performance limit me.

The roads in Batangas wouldn't be a problem if they are hard packed dirt roads. If they are soft or muddy, well, you might need a SUV with it's higher clearance for that type of surface.

Well if that is the case, a suzuki vitara maybe?

I was thinking 1st gen CRV since I dont think traction would be a problem as compared to ground clearance.

But in the end it still depends on the road surface itself.

mda: o nga, I need to be super critical if I buy a 2nd hand. About the dirt
roads for Sentra, I was worried about the tag-tag if the car can take
it. At this point of my driving skill (v. minimal) not so much speedy

ghosthunter: Okay, scratch Getz =) hmmm.. thanks for the altis warning.
That maybe the reason I see so many of that model on the ads.
But it's such a waste there are really a lot of them posted to find
out their not okay afterall. I've read the link about the Exalta the
article says its fine and had lots of accs, the table had a lot of info I
didn't understand except for the 3 stars - yey!

renzo_d10: no SUVs for me now I think. Isn't is harder to maintain?
Not much rough riding for me, just the roads to anilao and san juan
are not yet fully cemented.
