tama, go for SUV siguro...as for for specific, gen 2 CRV? so hinde mahirapan yun sis-in-law mo

if were talking bnew:

Getz 1.4 or Picanto if you want a car
new vios (although i'm not too sold on it)
Avanza if you want something with a bigger cargo and can optionally seat 7

if used i'd go with an SUV like:

LC90 Prado
Patrol Safari

Thing with these SUVs is, parts can be expensive.

Pica is too small and too pricey for the size. Get Alto instead kung pede na sau ang maliit talaga.

Pag Getz, 1.1 lang kasi 1.4 eh medyo comparable na sa price ng VIOS pero kung d mo talaga natripan VIOS o ayaw mo ng sobrang dami kaparehas, balik ka sa 1.4 Getz.

If u feel kapos ang seating ng sedan, Avanza J.

Isn't the Alto the Indian made car?

^For the Philippines market, the Alto('s) are CBU from India.

(Working on the assumption that it is your sister-in-law or mother-in-law who will be driving most of the time...)

Spacious car for 500-600k? A secondhand Corolla Altis would fit. (with some change, to boot) There's more elbow room than in the subcompacts (Vios, Jazz, City, Yaris, etcetera), and it's new enough to already have better headroom and kneeroom than older compacts. I think your budget might even fit a secondhand Altis 1.8G.

A Honda City is a practical car in that segment. If the looks don't put you off, the 1.3 City still has more trunk space than the Vios (or the Altis... or the Camry...), and fuel economy is excellent.

You could also get a City/Jazz secondhand... a low-mileage MT would be best. The nice thing about these cars is the extra-long service intervals, which will save your in-laws money in terms of maintenance. ;)

600K?

Why settle for a small subcompact vehicle when you can get a 2nd hand CUV like the Rav4, CR-V or X-Trail for that kind of money. Haven't heard of any major problem for either vehicles - just the usual wear & tear stuff that is expected from a pre-owned unit.

Though if you really like a brand new unit, I'd go for the Getz CRDi (priced around P600K+).
