    the older ones are asking for less than 500 K...
    if the previous owner took reasonable care of it, i am confident new owner won't spend much in fixing it up.
    Plus the fact that she lives in Baguio a torqey diesel is better suited for up and down mountain roads than a gasoline engine. Lalo na yung mga maliliit na engines ng mirage or wigo, or worse the torque-less engine of a honda jazz (or any honda!), e panay high rev ng mga yun pag paakyat. Those engines will be needing overhauls in short order due to high revving conditions. Pag diesel di ka magha-high rev managing those roads of baguio. Basta alaga lang sa change oil tatagal yan.

    many years ago,
    there was this very hill-y resort down in south of manila
    their service vehicles to ferry guests from the cottages to the activity areas, were fieras. ang-bibilis magpatakbo!
    i asked the driver, how the fiera was.
    "ok naman po. but we have to fix the transmission regularly, like every several months or so."

    But fieras are fords.

    I've had a ford once, never will again.

    my first car was also a ford.
    nevair again, too.
    but my ford never gave me transmission issues.

    diesel is probably post-er's better choice.
    torque.. matibay..
    i'd get one if i were me, even if it will need more money to get.
    it'll probably pay dividends later, in terms of less maintenance woes.

    based on experience, i haven't really needed to revv that hard when driving in Baguio, aside from when coming in/going out of the city (Marcos Highway/Kennon Road). All our cars are gas

    No issues naman driving ko going up Kennon using a torque-less Honda City 1.5L. I guess a bigger Honda like a Civic or Accord will do much better. Kennon is not that demanding of a drive.

    The last times I went up to Baguio I used turbo gas cars. It was so much better! The Fiesta Ecoboost is so much fun to drive in twisty roads. The FXT is also the same. Even better was that the X-mode AWD of the FXT came handy when we passed thru a muddy stretch of road that jeepneys and trucks were not able to cross.
