It is as if it's made from rubber bands and tofu!

Hindi sya ang gagamit ng bibilhin namin, ako. The Haima7 will be hers, safe naman kasi yung Haima7.

Nag-ikot ikot kami sa mga dealers kanina, I like the Fiesta, the Haima3 (because of the amazing deal), and probably the Vios (but not quite. Aha!)

Gwapo ng Fiesta talaga, mahal nga lang ng konti.

Kakatakot naman kasi mga second hand, lalo na sa first few months of ownership.

Old Alto gearshift was doggy. New one is kinda okay. Like I said, Eon's is worse. Mirage's gearshift is lighter and quicker, but the Alto gearshift feels more... mechanical... the Mirage gearshift doesn't feel like it's actually connected to anything.

My only problem is, is it a waste of money, or actually a good buy for this purpose?

I think even for a point A to point B car, you shouldn't sacrifice safety.
The Alto 800 has no safety features, it's an outdated car wrapped in modern skin.
If you want a modern A-segment car, you might want to look at the P498K Mirage GLX, at least it already comes with dual airbags. Plus points too for the extra interior room because the Mirage is sized between a traditional A-segment city car and a B-segment car, the Mirage is also a global car.

Parang ayaw ko na nga din mag-settle for a car. Looks like we would wait for another year, para yung gustong gusto ko na talaga yung bibilhin. ehehe! Ano kaya ang mga lalabas na bago by next last quarter of 2014? ehehe!

if you still want something compact, but is not a car...
The EcoSport perhaps? :D

Pre-launch is at the end of this year. Launch is sometime early 2014.
