    Mga ka tsikoteers! Magandang umaga(hehe). Na-trim down ko na yung list of choices ko sa tatlo car brands na yan (titingnan ko pa lang yung mga kotse pero gusto ko lang magka-overview sa kanilang mga specs, pros at cons...etc). Yung tanong ko lang po, sa tatlo ano ang pinaka fuel efficient, mura, maganda ang porma at madaling palitan ang parts (mura din!)? Kung pwede rin po (si ako masyadong marunong sa mga kotse), paki-lagay ang mga pros at cons at kung anong expert input niyo! Thanks in advance and God bless mga ka-tsikoteers! :D

    Oo nga pala, yung budget ko po is 235k max :D Salamat po!

    If fuel efficiency ang paguusapan, remove the Exalta (in AT form) due to the suspension tuned for comfort which gives it a wallowy ride and the electronic buluroy they have - which can be a pain to fix for a 10 year old vehicle (which you said, 235k max budget mo). So, this leaves you with the Lancer and Sentra.

    Both have good attributes pero:
    Fuel efficient: Both they are pero MT variants couple with 1.6 would do you more
    Mura: Sentra - check classified ads
    Maganda: For me? Sentra N13, medyo funny looking ang Pizza tail lamps. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
    Maganda ang Porma: Pormahan? Both. You can do an Evo with the Lancer, and an executive look for the Sentra
    Madaling mapalitan ang parts (yung mura): Both have adequate spare parts availability. You should know kung saan ka bibili. Mura ang parts? Learn how to haggle.

    My vote goes for either Lancer or Sentra.

    Ako mas gusto ko yung Exalta na puti. Palitan mo lang yung mags, drop, tanggal tint at regular detailing sobrang pogi na.

    Pwede na rin yung MX '00. Pero ingat lang sa suspension at alam ko mainit aircon niyan eh.

    IMHO, ang pinakamaporma sporty-wise sa tatlo is the Lancer. There should also be more performance/cosmetic parts available for this one. Yun nga lang do note na matic lang yung MX variant if that is OK with you although it is very well equipped. Just check with other 2000s pizza Lancer owners if they still experience suspension kalampag.

    If you want to go the luxury route, then the Exalta is for you. Best go with the newer N16 version since pasok naman sa budget mo. 1.6L M/T variant ang pinakamagandang hanapin. Just check if all electronics are working. But then you'd be doing the same with all modern cars naman...

Nissan Sentra Exalta ('00-'02), Nissan Sentra GT/GX or Mitsubishi Lancer MX ('00-'02)
