Then get the Jimny.

+ 1 on the jimny

jimny na nga talaga. just get the entry level jx then get bigger tires like drave did. use the extra money for a better head unit.

If potholes are your only obstacle... have you considered getting a subcompact? The Honda Jazz comes in within your budget, has more space than the Jimny, and is a better long distance car.

As per what TS said, I think a sub-compact isnt really for her. She is more of in driving in wet roads, flooded perhaps, so I think a sub-compact car with very low ground clearance just like the honda jazz wouldnt fit her that much unless the jazz could take and drive on those wet roads TS was pointing in to.

oh yeah additional info, ung village namin particularly sa street namin is known for those horrendous humps, halos every 5 meters may humps dahil sa mga mahuhusay na mga tricycle na feeling nila may daytona race dun lage..and mind you hindi sya mga cute na humps ha..madalas maraming mga kotse na tumatama ung ilalim ng kotse dahil sa humps yon..

so what do you think?

Jimny ka na lang. If you would opt for a sub-compact car, your suspension might not last long

**testament11** · July 23rd, 2009 05:06 PM

go for jimny na talaga kung ganun... if not at 2nd hand, pajero 3 door...

pero brand new, jimny na talaga ate...

**hydra925** · July 23rd, 2009 05:20 PM

ano subcompact? hehehe

hay sa amin pa lang bug-bog na kotse..ung innova 5 years pa lang pero nagkakalampagan na at ang tag-tag na...madalas pa ma-pako ung gulong namin, dahil kapag umuulan..eh bumabaha sa street namin...so lahat lumulutang, plastic, bote, etc. - kaya kapag tapos na ang malakas na buhos na ulan aun naiwan lahat ng sediments sa kalye...

hay mukhang jimny na nga ang pede...

so un na ba suggestion niyo mga kuya???
