Sabi nga ng pinsan ko mag SiR daw ako e kung mag ES Civic lang daw ako. Ang arte kasi ng parents ko e.. gusto wala pang 10 years yung sasakyan saka mas safe daw yung sasakyan ngayon di katulad ng lumang model. Syempre kahit gaano ka kaingat at yung ibang driver e walang disiplina.. kung matiyambahan ka aksidente abutin mo so aasa ka nalang sa kung gaano ka safe ang sasakyan mo. Mamaya daw maging konsensya pa nila at pinagmaneho pa nila ako. Kontento na nga sana ako sa Sentra B14 o kaya Honda ESI e. xD Yun din ang hanap nila.. mataas ang resale value.



ahhh.. yung isa lang yung grills.. thanks sa info.


Update:
Nagtingin ako kanina sa mga used car dealers.. yung mga auto mall.. hindi pala yung mall na yun ang may-ari ng mga sasakyan dun? Nakikiparada lang pala sila at puro ahente lang.. Parang mas gusto ko na sa mga tao.

Sabi ng mekaniko na kasama ko kanina tapos yung pinsan ko din pangit daw ang Nissan? Huwag daw ako kumuha ng Nissan e. Mahal daw piyesa/maintenance.

About sa transmission din pala.. yung mga mid-2000s ba na sasakyan mas superior ba ang AT kaysa sa MT? Sabi kasi ng pinsan ko mas madalas daw masira yung trans ng MT pero mura paggawa pero yung trans ng AT daw mas matagal ang buhay yun nga lang medyo mahal daw paggawa kaya mas boto daw siya sa AT. Para sa akin naman.. exciting kasi kapag MT.. feeling ko professional driver ako lol.

Ang sabi niya din, ang tipid daw ng AT niya na Mitsu Grandis 2002 na may 2.4L na makina. Average daw ng 10km/L kapag city driving at abot ng 12km/L kapag highway. Hindi ba malaki ang 2.4L na makina at considering na AUV(auv ba ang class ng grandis?) iyon.. hindi ba dapat mas mababa compared sa sedans?

May Ford Fiesta 1.6L na AT din siya at medyo dismayado siya sa FC ng Fiesta kasi parehas lang ang FC noon sa grandis niya which is 2.4L. Inaasahan niya na mas matipid yung Fiesta dahil sa liit ng makina at sa liit din nung sasakyan. Nirereto nga niya yung sasakyan niya na Grandis e heheh, ok na ba yun sa 350-380k?

Maayos naman at walang ibang condition kasi yung ang gamit namin kanina at ilang beses na akong nkakasakay doon. Mag-aabroad na kasi siya. Pero gusto ko parin sedan.

Another question, bakit binibenta ng mga owner nila ang sasakyan na less than 4 years? at minsan less than 2 years pa. Di ko lang maisip kung bakit mo ibebenta ang nabili mo ng more than 1m after 2 years of use e ibebenta mo na uli ng almost less than 70% - 50%? Well except sa mga shady motives.. ano pang legit(kung meron) reason on selling a young and great working machine for 70-50% less than the price sa pagkabili mo?
Dun sa upuan... I'm not really one to complain about hard seats, as I find these give great support and are much more durable in the long run, especially if said seat is leather. Take our Revo's seats for example. Material is high grade moquette. Very softly upholstered too. Can make for a rather comfortable bed if I wanted. But my back starts complaining if the driving time exceeds an hour or so. The Accord's seats on the other hand are really hard. Its actually quite similar to the FD's seats. But then it gives excellent support even in long drives and still looks pretty much the same since the day it was bought.

SiR? Kung hindi ka naman kumakarera lagi, dun ka na sa ES. Sure the SiR has a hell of an engine, but it has no safety features whatsoever besides the 4 wheel disc brakes. Very scary if you ask me. Yung VTi-S variant ng ES meron nang ABS/EBD and airbags. Besides, it already has 130hp on tap, which is already very respectable for a 1.6L engine even by today's standards.

Pangit ang Nissan? Not necessarily. Parts for the Sentra are actually pretty widespread, since it is used for cab service.

A/T's have come a very long way since the 90s, but they are still inferior to manuals in terms of performance and fuel efficiency. Manuals are still much simpler, lighter and more durable. There are some modern manuals that use a dual mass flywheel though. These are quite expensive to replace and may be what your friend is referring to.

2002 Grandis? Wala pa atang Grandis nun dito ah. Converted ba yan? That one has the GDi engine, which would probably explain the good FC. The local Grandis is classified as a minivan, and is based off the Galant with the traditional MPI engine. Ride comfort and performance are good but FC should be just around 5-7km/L city.

Bat binebenta after just a short time? There are many possible reasons. Some dahil naaksidente o nabaha. Others dahil aalis na sila. Yung iba dahil hindi na bagay sa route nila (for example subcompact sedan then mining area ang workplace). Others still dahil lang nasawa na. I know of people with deep pockets who would change their cars like they change cellphones.
