with your budget, civic fd na! 1.8 mt or at. doesnt matter. at is reliable for the FD. used to own one. transmission was never a problem. may isang poster dito nakabili ng FD for 330k ata. 2006 mt. very good buy. basta be patient. dont rush it. its not as fuel efficient compared to smaller cars syempre. if your daily drive is full of stop lights and is bumper to bumper during rush hours (e.rod-espanya), FC can go down as low as 4-5 km/l its pretty bad. my current car is a lancer ex 1.6 and with the same conditions i get 7-8km/l. advantage of the fd over the others is its looks inside-out. yung mga makikita mong 400k sa sulit tawaran mo nalang in person. hanapan mo ng mga minor sira para matawaran mo lalo. pero if ever you really cant find a good deal, lahat naman ng sinuggest ng mga nandito is good.
