I`d go for the Altis E -, 03

You wouldn't really need an adventure since you wouldn't be really hauling lots of stuff so, what's the use for an AUV .?

And since may baby pa kayo, baka sa tagtag, ingay ng adventure compared sa sedans eh mahirapan pa kayo lalo.

The previous altis is not as large as the current altis as of now, it's smaller. I`ve ridden an Altis 9th gen and the ride is pretty good, power is adequate and so does it's cooling system so it's going to be pretty good for babies.

The only thing that I didn't appreciate in that lancer is it's aircon, dunno I just don't find it enough for summers. Not sure if the lancer mx that I rode in needs a/c cleaning already or what ... but, I`m not satisfied with it.

afor me altis na lang, big trunk for your needs and yung loob comfortable rather than sa ibang nasa choices.

kung kabado sa pagbili ng 2nd hand, ask a friend na may alam na mechaniko para sure na trusted.

a few tips na lang sa pagbili ng 2nd hand: try to look for cars that are casa maintained. look at the records during the ondoy months kung ginagamit or biglang nawalan ng service records. kung wala naman service records, try to look for parts na napalitan na. something that looks more new rather than the other parts.

HTH

how to determine po ba if a person is a good mechanic? meron po ba kayong alam na bentahan na quality used car known for providing really good car po.
anu po ba ibig sabihin ng CASA maintained

CASA maintained sa dealer pinapagawa at inaalagaan. Example dealer ng Toyota so CASA ng Toyota. Kaya maganda CASA maintained e theoretically mga mas mahusay or expert tao nila at hindi sila gumagamit ng hindi original na parts.

On topic - i'd get a newer model Altis. Normally mas matanda kotse mas worn out na.

Wag mo ubusin budget mo sa kotse kasi sure ball yan marami kang papaayos para smooth takbo ng isang second hand. 1/4 budget mo for regular maintenance (, check electrical, palit gulong, ayos suspension - shocks, rack end, etc., palit engine oil, tranny oil-grease clutch etc., clean-refill aircon, detail or clean interior and exterior, etc.) Budget mo 300K car at 50K repair.

BTW how to test if a car body is na masilya na o orig pa - bring a small ref magnet yung ginagamit pang stick ng papel sa ref door. tapos casually dikit mo sides ng pinto, likod, hood, etc. Pag mahina dikit ng magnet or ayaw dumikit, sure-ball plastic na yung area na yun. Lalo na sa bagong model, sigurado napaayos na yun dahil nabangga or nadamage.

good luck

A car doesnt have to be casa-maintained. Hindi totoo na mas magaling mga mechanic nila. Most of them are trainees only. Not only that, a lot of times the repair of your unit will be subcontracted to one of those "talyer". Maganda lang ang outer appearance nila. And good luck too with parts. I caught them twice already (once with honda kalookan and once with toyota q.a) repairing parts that were supposed to be replaced.

And I dont see anything wrong with panels that have been repaired with masilya. But its a good test too with the magnet at least youll know there had been an accident so you can ask the extent of the accident. If it doesnt include the suspension or any mechanical parts, then its ok. And also that gives you a leverage to ask for additional discount.
