    mga experts, need ko advise nyo.. we own a 2001 Honda Civic VTI A/T.. we bought it last year.. pinili ko ang A/T kasi akala ko iddrive ni misis un.. pero ngaung malapit na ulit ako magwork abroad, ayaw nya drivin kasi mahaba daw.. she prefer to drive a small car or a hatch one.. so ngaun, binebenta namin kotse namin para makabili ng maliit na sasakyan..

    my first choice was a Honda (im a Honda fanatic) Jazz CVT 1st gen since budget ko lang ay 300k to 350k after ko mabenta kotse namin.. kaso, after reading the threads regarding CVT issues, parang nagdadalawang isip nako mag Jazz..

    secong choice ko sana Toyota Echo A/T.. kaso ang hirap humanap kahit sa net..

    nasa pinagpipilian ko rin sana ang Suzuki Swift.. or Hyundai Getz (but matic are very rare).. and my last option might be a Kia Picanto.. (pero gusto ni misis looks ng Picanto though she doesn't know that much pagdating sa cars)

    hindi ako expert sa sasakyan pero d naman noob.. average lang.. last options ko ang korean cars kasi medyo hindi ako bilib sa quality nila (base lang sa naririnig at nababasa) unlike japanese car manufacturers..

    pahingi naman po advise nyo.. ano po kaya small car ang pasok sa budget na 300k to 350k na walang mga issues like sa CVT kasi si misis nga gagamit.. hindi ko pa kasi kaya magbrand new at balak ko muna magbahay habang wala pa kaming baby..

    salamat sa mga magrereply...

    Alternative choice...

    Toyota Yaris. You can find them on ads sites like www.sul!t.com.ph... at the price of P400K+ ... but I think you can nego it lower to your level. The Yaris is bascially the same as the Vios.

    Or if not the Yaris, why not opt for the VIOS? It shouldn't be any harder to drive than the Yaris.

    Pre-owned Getz should be a good balance for your wife's needs....

    nung d pa kami kasal, meron akong 89 lancer (manual) at dun ko sya tinuruan magdrive.. nakakadrive naman sya kasama ako,pero medyo may takot pa.. tapos ibinili sya ng parents nya ng honda civic 2000 model.. manual din.. nahihirapan sya sa clutch ng civic nila.. kaya nagdriving school sya (vios and accent ginamit nya na parehong manual) at parang sisiw sa kanya kasi malayo narating nya at nakita ko nung sinundo ko sya after driving lessons nya e naniningit pa sya sa traffic.. pero after nun e hirap pa rin sya sa clutch ng civic nila.. kaya pinagbili na lang kasi hindi nya nagagamit e nasa abroad na ako nun at wala ng ibang magddrive.. kaya after ng wedding namin, matic na civic na binili ko kasi isip ko ddrivin nya.. natry naman nya idrive once.. then nakabili ung bayaw ko (brother nya) ng kia picanto matic (para sa wife ni bayaw).. nung nakita nya, dun sya nagreklamo sakin na mahaba daw ang civic at mahihirapan sya.. kayang kaya nya daw ung auto namin kung small car din gaya ng picanto.. e ngaun pabalik nako ulit abroad, namomroblema ako at baka d nya nga magamit yung kotse namin.. mapapatambak lang.. kaya naisip ko ibenta or itrade sa small car..

    pwede nga siguro subukan ko lagyan ng back-up sensor.. then patry ko ulit sa kanya.. tanong lang mga boss, pwede din ba lagyan ng sensor ung unahan? pano function nun?

    salamat po sa mga reply nyo..

    I agree... sanayin mo si misis sa manual STICK :D haha! lakasan lang ng loob yan... much better din para sakanya na alam nya how to drive both manual and matic.. lalo na sir nagaabroad kau... dpt dependent siya... alam din dpt nga mga do's and dont's when driving.. hindi lang puro drive... what if bigla tumirik...
    for me wala pinagkaiba kung sedan or subcompact kahit microcar pa nga... same lang sila... base on your thread, I think hindi ang haba ng kotse ang problema ni misis, baka nga takot lang din talaga siya magdrive? wala naman kasi kaso kung mahaba or maikli kotse mo pagmarunong ka magdrive :D

    sabi nga nila "size doesn't matter as long as you know how to use it" :P
