First time to drive and first car.

[confused shoes]

Haha! Galing naman A1 daw kaya educated driver DAW lol. What would be your hierarchy when it comes to looks and comfortable ride?

Experience would make you the better driver "in the Philippines". Lalo na pag sa Cavite roads ka pala dadaan. Among roads sa Luzon na aking nadaanan (farthest north-Vigan, farthest south-Batangas), bus/PUJ drivers sa Cavite ang pinaka.... (bahala ka ng magdugtong).

Ang short advise ko naman sa 'yo. Get the safest or at least the newest na kaya ng budget. Sa FC, hindi na magkakalayo yan at Cavite ka naman mag drive. Unless dadaan ka ng Cavitex, ang best average speed mo on Cavite roads is 30kph. Resale value, syempre mabibili mo at lower cost ang car with the lowest resale value. Pag ibebenta mo ulit, which I guess it will happen in two years time, siguro yung nabili mo ng 300K, kaya pa sa 250K kung hindi mo inabuso.

Good luck.
