My top choice would be the:
2006-2009 Hyundai Tucson - 2.0 Gas MT (kung makahanap ka)

Seven seater models na pwede mo tignan:
Toyota Revo (2002-2005 models)l - 2.4 Diesel MT
Mitsubishi Adventure diesel MT

Good luck shopping!

Thank you po sir! :D uhm di po ba mahal pa yung Tucson? Actually po may revo na po kame diesel sports runner 2002 po ata un mag uupgrade lang po talga o magdadag haha. Thanks you po :D

Around 2002-2004 models, depending on condition and mileage.

150hp K20 engine gives good power, and though this particular engine is known to have quite an appetite especially with a matic tranny, if you be nice to the throttle and shift early (around 2000rpm), your fuel bills shouldn't be too bad. To give some sort of comparison based on my experience, our matic Accord with the K24 engine (can be said as an enlarged K20) gets between 6-7km/L Manila city driving. It gives excellent performance especially when the VTEC performance cam engages at the higher part of the rpm range, but dramatically increases fuel consumption in the process. A manual K20 CRV, when driven properly, will be able to get around 7-8km/L city and beyond in provincial conditions.

Meron din kaming Revo. 2001 GLX diesel. Magandang pang-city pero ramdam na ramdam ang kupad kapag sa highway.

Actually kung may makita kang mababa take it. Otherwise pwede ang CR-V second gen kasi you have no other choice na. You may want to check out the Suzuki Vitara or first gen CR-V

THE ULTIMATE USED CAR GUIDE: Used Car of the Week - Honda CR-V (2002-2006)
THE ULTIMATE USED CAR GUIDE: Used Car of the Week - Suzuki Vitara (1994-2004)
THE ULTIMATE USED CAR GUIDE: Used Car of the Week - Honda CR-V (1997-2001)

Try placing the 2002-2004 Ford Escape MT or 2000-2005 Toyota RAV4 1.8 MT sa list

If offroading is your thing, the 2nd gen Suzuki Grand Vitara is worth a look. There is a 2.0M/T 4x4 variant, rather rare nowadays. Traditional ladder frame chassis + primarily rear wheel driven + longitudinally mounted engine = serious offroader

IMHO the Escape looks the most aggressive and the Rav4 looks the sportiest. 1.8L Rav4 is a bit down on power though, awfully high resale value too. Escape has very tough underpinnings, I'd say second only to the Grand Vitara. 4x2 means no serious offroading though. But its also got excellent handling and a spacious and comfortable cabin. 130hp 2.0L Zetec lacks power, though the manual tranny partly makes up for it, is still inferior to Honda's K20.

Admittedly, I find the CRV the ugliest.

But then its also the most practical. I find its cabin the most functional and timeless too.

Sir, are you sure with a 1995 Eclipse or 199* Skyline? Una sa lahat they are not the idea college car kung practicality and cost of ownership ang paguusapan. Sure you get the stares or pagiingitan ka pero in the current case, I won't recommend them. Infact wala sa school namin naka Eclipse or Skyline.

Apart from the Vios, pwede ka makakuha ng decent 10 year old car worth 370k. Here are my other recommendations na pasok sa budget mo plus practical to own (may link na sila to my articles):
2001-2007 Toyota Corolla Altis

2004-2011 Kia Picanto
2003-2008 Honda City
2006-2011 Kia Rio
2003-2007 Hyundai Matrix
2002-2005 Ford Lynx GSi
2001-2005 Honda Civic
2003-2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Cedia
2004-onwards Nissan Sentra
Hyundai Getz

Marami ka pang choices hehe. Good luck!

Ok the main difference between sa Jazz na iDSi and VTEC are yung engine system. And iDSi has 8 spark plugs and more on economy driving, pang low end torque siya. Habang ang VTEC timing technology ng Jazz focuses on high end torque pero 4 spark plugs siya.

About the Lynx RS, it is blistering fast in stock form but finding one that has been used as a daily driver is hard, lalo na konti lang ang naibenta dito.

Wag kang kukuha ng racecar lalo na kung zero knowledge ka. Yung mga nasa ganong price range ay malamang pinang-karera na kaya maraming aasikasuhin sa maintenance. Marami pa dun converted, lalo na mga 2 door.

Kung gusto mo ng mababa na mabilis,I'd suggest the Lynx RS o kaya '98-'03 Accord M/T. Parehong hindi ganon ka-spectacular ang gas mileage pero magandang paporma yan.
