    good day sa inyo, matagal na ako nagbabrowse dito sa tsikot pero ngayon lang ako nag member.
    pa-advice naman kasi balak ko bumili ng 2nd hand na kotse pampasok sana sa school. kaya lang hindi ako madecide kung hyundai sonata ba o mazda 323 ang bibilin ko.

    yung hyundai sonata, 2001 model, LPG talaga no gas option galing ng Korea idinaan sa port irene. 120 ang benta sa akin. ayos naman, maganda pa labas, may ingay lang sa fan belt daw, crack ang wondshield at sira ang fuel gauge at kung bibilin ko ay papaayos naman nung may ari lahat. mejo madumi lang ang loob kelangan linisin ng mabuti. malakas aircon. power steering, power window, power lock. di ko lang masyado na check ang makina dahil di ako marunong tumingin. 2.4 ang makina.

    yung mazda 323 glxi naman, nabasa ko sa mga thread na ayos naman ang performance, 1.6 dohc engine, abs, all power at ang price range niya ay nasa 120 to 170 din naman at yung mga nakikita ko sa classifieds ay maayos din naman.

    ano kaya mas ok sa dalawa?
    sa fuel economy, ok ba yung sonata na LPG pero 2.4 naman o mas ok ang 1.6 na gas?
    maintenance
    ano mas madali kuhaan ng parts at mura ang paggawa?

    salamat

    Mazda 323 ang dapat mong kunin. obvious naman diba.

    Come on, hindi mo alam ang tunay na sakit nung Sonata, imported pa pala, ano ba yan? converted to left hand drive ba yan? Doon na ako sa local Mazda 323 hehe.

    About arangkada, since LPG na yung 2.4, doon pa rin ako sa Mazda 323 1.6.

    > better than the imported sonata
    > the sonata has issues
    > the sonata might have some other " hidden " issues
    > sonata's imported, might be converted from left to right
    > 323 is a gas guzzler but its waay wayy better.

    A Korean-market Sonata is not a conversion. Korean market cars are left-hand drive only.

    Whether the LPG kit is any good depends on whether it's electronic or venturi... but if it's factory-installed, there should be no worries.

    Problem is, the Sonata is a mid-sized car. Parts for mid-sized cars are more expensive than for compacts like the 323. And factor in that it's a Korean market Sonata that may or may not be identical to models sold here, and the dealerships might not have the parts. Of course, I'd prefer to get a Sentra of the same age as the 323 as opposed to either of your choices... but the 323 is a decent car, depending on the model.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    If you're going to add the lovelife into your list. I`d go for it, just make sure it's in top condition.

    Why not get the XE instead of the GLi, with that you can save money for the XE is cheaper.
