hi mga sirs! im a newbie and don't know anything about cars. i have a budget of 300k but i don't know which is more practical or suitable car for me. 2005 model po ba para hindi masyado gamit or mga below pero top of the line na sinasabi nila. suggestion naman po. im eyeing on vios but still not sure. sabi nila baka mabangga ko lang kaya better na luma muna daw. help. thank you po!
