Bottomline- a good, safe car for us, I'm not scrimping but I don't want to spend too much considering the minimal usage. We live in Bulacan with my parents. They have an SUV, which I'm too much of a wuss to drive (hence, subcomp or sedan). Husband's in the US, and we may decide to move there within 5 years time. In the meantime, she (daughter) does her schooling here.
I'm torn between older models (2000-2005) or newer ones (2010-2013) that are in the same price range. Considerations are safety, maintenance costs, and ease of drive. All power, maybe? Ang nakikita ko are Jazz, Honda City, Altis (older built set), then Celerio, i10 (not Grand), and Eon (later model set). I would prefer A/T. Which way should I go? Any other cars I should include in my search list? I've never owned a car so I don't know what to look for, or if I'm looking for the right things.
Also, bakit ang daming murang Chevrolet Aveo?
