My Parents decided to sell our previous car to buy a new 2nd hand. The money we've got from it is 385k.
I researched cars and what i've found are this two:

honda civic vti 2004(LOADED)!NEGOTIABLE!SALE/SWAP Philippines - 8866901

and

2005 Ford Lynx RS turbo M/T * SHOWCAR* loaded SWAP /TRADE OK Philippines - 9674184

I don't know which is which. Hope that this car are still available.

I open for your suggestions Tsikoters !

My Standards are:

1. Engine Peroformance
2. Maintenance
3. FC
4. Looks (Outside&Inside)
5. 2000+ models

Thank You and Good Day!

A couple of questions first. What school are you going to? How much driving experience do you have under your belt? You do not want to get a fast car and then wreck it because you are still unable to control it, or get a low car when you will be traversing floods a lot.

Between the two, I'd suggest the Civic. Its much more fuel efficient. Get a stock unit, you don't know if a certain modified unit was used in racing. This car's already quite respectable in the horsepower department. You can throw in bolt-on mods later on.

The Lynx comes with a boatload of features. Performance is definitely better than the Civic stock to stock, but gas mileage is not as good. As bro niky said, stay away from the turbocharged cars. They chug fuel like the Expedition next to it!

Or, you can go for CUVs. 2.3L Ford Escape/Mazda Tribute, or CRV 2.0M/T.

Prestige pa rin, yo !

Seriously though, if this is your first car, you don't want yourself getting into headaches. And that turbocharged RS is just screaming "come to me, new driver, I'm going to be the reason for your early death"

What's the fastest car have you driven? Kung yung Revo then boy, that Lynx will be worlds apart. And if the Revo is just your experience, then... you're going to have a hard time dealing with the ultra-fast, yet attention-seeker RS (attention-seeker because FI cars tend to ask a bit more TLC)

Dami mo kailangan bantayan. At kung noob ka pa sa car, baka may hindi ka makita na sira... warak

Seriously, get a Type Z city then call it a day. Tama sabi ni Niky, it's more fun to drive a slow car fast. Get a 1.5L Type Z City MT. Explore its limits. Pag tapos mo malaman limits niya, at nakulangan ka pa, then start doing upgrades. IHE, chip, port and polish etc. etc. kapag kulang pa rin, that's the only time you consider engine swaps (B16, B18 etc. etc.) or turbocharging. At least, by then, may alam ka na sa konting technicalities ng oto.

Sir bakit ayaw mo i consider mga pick up trucks? (eg Ford Ranger, Isuzu Fuego, Mitsubishi L200, Toyota Hilux) mas ok po sila gamitin lalo na kung sa U-BELT ka nag aaral. (Engine performance + Maintenance + FC) lalo na sa UBELT bahain sir umulan lang ng konti di mo na magagamit ung sedan mo. College student din po ako, personally para sakin, mas may dating pa ung mga pick up trucks compared to sedans. Kung FC naman ang problema, mas ok sir diesel kasi mas mura kesa unleaded. + points nadin kung ayaw mo pahirapan sila parents sa pagbabayad ng weekly fuel allowance.

Eto sir, pormado na pick up truck.

IMHO, sir hindi naman siguro nakakatulong ung pormado o mabilis na auto sa college. Pwede pa maging reason un para bumaba ung grades mo ( imbes na sa school ang punta mo sir, baka sa banawe ka mapunta kaka isip ng porma ng auto mo.)

Kung Revo gas, benta na habang may kaunting resale value pa. Mabagal at malakas sa gas. Baka maging driver ng bayan ka pa. If you're really gonna use it, maybe just upgrade the lights and sound system. Keep the old head unit in case you'll be selling it soon and transfer it to your new car.
