And I thought I was really a late bloomer. Hehehe. I never thought of buying a car till I was 28 as I was contented in just borrowing my dad's Crosswind. Computer ang interest ko in my early years. Now I am trying to learn about cars.
The first car I bought was the Civic FD. Unfortunately, it got total wrecked after 1 year of use. So car hunting ulit. Ngayon what I got is the 1.6L Elantra, out of budget na yung 1.8. If the new Civic FB was priced under 1M baka yun ulit kinuha ko. Kaso too pricey now eh.
If I have enough money, I wanted those SUVs or CUVs (Montero, Fortuner, Sportage, Tucson). The reason is, nadrive ko na yung civic ko dati sa baha. Sayad na yung tubig sa ilalim ng floor ng kotse. I can hear the plok plok sound. And I was pissed sa mga jeep na kasabay kasi patigil tigil pa sa daan samantalang ako ay kinakabahan na kasi baka tumaas pa baha. Importante kasi lakad kaya pinilit tawirin baha. And then since malapit na election, marami karsada ang sinisira para gawin.Parang nakakaawa yung kotse ko noon kapag dumadaan ako sa mga sinirang daan na ito.
Kaso wala kaya compact car ulit.
Since I have an Elantra, suggest ko sa iyo is Elantra. hehehe.
Or pwede rin Kia Carens kaso MPV class ito (7 seater). Pero diesel engine sya.Around 950k ata.

What it does have are all the good qualities expected from a Euro hatch coupled with an excellent diesel engine paired with that gem of a dual clutch transmission. Its devilishly fast, even in stock form, and yet still extremely fuel efficient. It sips less fuel in km/L than all of the compact sedans in our market. And then the fuel it sips is P10/L cheaper than the fuel used by all the other compacts in the market too. This makes it equal parts ideal daily commuter and equal parts weekend/track day/vacation car. Only shortcomings I can think of are the higher maintenance costs as compared to its gasoline powered competitors and its apparent lack of space.
