    I'm planning to buy my 1st ever car. Would like to ask your opinion. Below are all the considerations I'm currently thinking:

    1. Budget: upto 800k (can stretch upto 860k)
    2. I'm only 5'2 so I'm looking for a car na comfortable para sa height ko. I've tried Honda City before but seems huge for me or I guess indi lang aq nasanay kc ilang beses ko lang nman naidrive.
    3. AT transmission - most of the time is gagamitin sya for city driving. It'll be used to go to office but also for my business to pickup stocks sa lotto outlet ko like 4 boxes of lotto tickets. Box is like the size of PS4.
    4. Aircon - I have hyperhidrosis so madali aq pagpawisan. Not a huge deal kc natry ko nman na ang aircon ng toyota, nissan, mitsu at honda, etc and ok nman sila for me. Except Kia na parang mahina ang aircon (based sa reviews/feedback na nabasa ko)
    5. Toys - toys that could be helpful in my driving like rear cam, additional safety features, etc.
    6. Looks - not a huge deal but ofcourse I want to impress my girl.

    Below is yung mga pinagpipilian ko. Feel free na dagdagan pa ang options and why.

    A. 2019 Honda Brio HB
    B. Suzuki Dzire
    C. Honda City E CVT
    D. Kia Soluto
    E. Mitsubishi Mirage HB
    F. Kia Picanto

    All can be top of the line except Honda City.

    Thank you.
    My best advice? It isn't car-related.

    Your problem with hyperhidrosis can be remedied by DRICLOR, an OTC solution na parang roll-on siya. It's quite expensive, pero you'll only use this 2 weeks straight at most. Super matipid siya if maintenance phase na, yung akin inabot na ng expiry di pa ubos. Been using this since 15 years ago and tried and tested na ;)

    As for the car... hehe. All the others have better inputs and experiences than me, and i'll leave the car advice to them

    C. Honda City E CVT : CVT Transmission is a different animal, unreliable and expensive
    D. Kia Soluto : I will never buy a Kia again, 3 of 7 Kia's I owned, engine knocked (1 even knocked 2x). 2 of 7 I owned, A/T tranny broke Down in less than 3 yrs.
    E. Mitsubishi Mirage HB : Rides like an owner Jeep, a/c not that good, CVT problems (shift solenoids). Very fuel efficient, parts aplenty and relatively cheap (I had 2 Grab cars HB, 3 G4 Grab car)
    F. Kia Picanto : I had 4 of these. I will never buy a Kia again, 3 of 7 Kia's I owned, engine knocked (1 even knocked 2x). 2 of 7 I owned, A/T tranny broke Down in less than 3 yrs.

    I always recommend... Buy a car based on what you value most, based on what is important to you. You can't have it all.

    Congratulations in advance on your new car.
    So what would you recommend sir? Other options are very much welcome. What specific car would you recommend based on the considerations I listed?

    Best car overall for me would still be the Honda City. Perhaps you were not able to properly adjust your seat position? Performance is really good. Toys and additional features can be easily added.

    Hehehe

    1) List the top 3 attributes that are important to you, rank it 1-3
    2) Score each car on these, giving highest score on best car per attribute
    3) Sum up the scores

    Viola! You'll have your choice.
