Just buy what you like the most. Para walang buyer’s remorse later on.

Official wading depth.
Jimny 300mm? Pero kaya hanggang bumpers?
S-presso ?
Ecosport 550mm
Rush 600mm

Sabagay tama din na kunin ang gusto mo. Huwag na lang susugod kung baha. Check mo din size kung comfortable ikutin sa parking bldg. Naalala ko hirap na ako dati sa loob gamit Mobilio. Pero may mga naka park na PPVs naman, pero limited areas lang.

Rush for a student? MPVs are boring choices for young kids or even yuppies.

A used pickup or hatchback or sedan will do. Spend like 500k for a fairly new vehicle and save the 200km for mods (new rims perhaps, head unit, other accessories).

Pero kung 900k for a new car, I guess a midtrim City or Jazz will be a good choice.

ano ba maitutulong at kailangan pa sabihin na freshman sa UST. Kung pinost mo lasale csb ateneo crc eh mang-aasar talaga ako.

And pandemic ngayon malabo-labo pa magka physical classes.

Kung atat ka bumili sasakyan eh mag hatchback ka, Wag ka bibili mahaba kotse like atlis or civic malakas maka-tito yan. Hindi ka pa nakakaparada teacher ka na agad.

Tingnan mo yung likod ng civc, mukhang easy open can ng spam.

Pero kugn may pera ka panglaro eh mag coolray ka. Itsura sa itsura talbog lahat ng sinuggest dito.

For around 700k+, you can buy a used 2013-2014 Forester XT. Around 800k for something a bit newer (2015-2016). It might not have the good looks of a sedan but it is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Eto you get good ground clearance (like PPVs), decent interior & cargo space, AWD handling, plus lots more performance (quickness and speed). It drives like a big sedan also.

If you have around 1M, you can buy a used WRX already.

6km travel, baha, problema sa parking, I'd go for a high ground clearance bike. 500cc or bigger considering your price range. Then again, out of line advice ko na yan haha.

Malabo pala sa mga bagets ang MPV.

Kung ganoon, Jazz or Ecosport ang boto ko.

Hello mga sir! Slightly off topic but I just wanna ask if it is still advisable to buy sedans (2nd hand Honda Civic 1.8 E 2018/2019 specifically) kung sa Manila ka nakatira? I am going to study sa Manila po kasi and bibilhan po ako ng dad ko ng sarili kong kotse para di po hassle sa pag commute. My initial choices is of course sedans (Altis, Mazda 3, Civic) since solo ko lang naman po palagi. However, my dad recommended crossovers nalang po like the mazda cx3/cx5, subaru xv, honda hrv for the added ground clearance.

And currently I am really lost on what car to buy hahahaha sa crossovers I am leaning towards the subaru xv but I’ve read that mahal daw po parts/maintenance kaya bumabalik lagi ako sa civic [emoji28].

Will really appreciate your inputs mga sir!

a pre-owned fortuner or something of similar height.

errr... where are you gonna park it?
'hirap pumarada sa UST, ah.

[johnbreeeezy]

Forester XT would be my pick at that price range but yeah the CRV is a good safe option too.

Ilang beses na nastuck brother ko sa Taft dahil bumaha. The extra 5 minutes an SUV buys you can be the difference between being stranded and getting home safely and on time.

May one time palabas ng Taft tumataas na baha tapos hindi gumagalaw traffic and muntik nang lumutang yung Mazda 3 ko if hindi pinagbigyan nung mga SUV na naggive way para makauna, sila ok lang abutan ng baha makakalabas pa naman.

Wala halos benefit sedan - same price lang ang Civic and CRV na secondhand so mag-CRV ka nalang.

Pwede doc, Ang mga hatchback madali kargaha ng bisekleta. Tapos parada sa isang place at magbike na lagn.

I do not understand why people say the ust parking building slots are cramped. I parked my everest and my starex there, maluwag. Ano ba kayo claustrophobic ba kayo madikitan lang konti masikip na?

Get a 2nd hand fortuner. May makukuha ka 750k na 4x2 2013/14 model, dami nagbebenta ng kotse ngayon walang pera. Use the extra 150k for a proper 3-4" lift and big tires. Wa pakels ka sa baha kesa dyan sa crossovers.

Subaru xt? chain driven water pump?

Super frequent na ngayon ang flash floods. Pwedeng papasok ka sa morning walang ulan then paguwi mo sa hapon biglang buhos.

Dati sabi ko hindi kailangan ng SUV pero sayang din yung extra minutes that ground clearance buys you. Floods these days go from gutter deep to knee deep in 30 minutes or less.

Plus super daming potholes these days na hindi inaayos ng gobyerno kasi busy sa incompetent covid response. Ilang buwan na potholes sa C5, padami ng padami every time I pass, walang naaayos.

Pag Civic dala ko extra caution na umiwas sa lubak pero pag CRV ok lang basta wag super lalim. Malaki difference ng 235/40 R18 sa 235/60R18 plus longer suspension travel.
