guys, need help lang.... I am planning to buy a 2nd hand 1600cc or 2000cc car... daily drive sana sa office (16kms away from house) tapos sana fuel efficient, all power, manual tranny at feature packed, ok i-maintain at sulit ang bawat peso....

Choices ko po......
Personally, Nissan fan ako, so pinaka gusto ko sana, 1996-1998 Nissan Sentra Series 3 Super Saloon... Manual Tranny... (all power, power retracting side mirrors, lamig ang aircon)
kaso, a lot of people are actually discouraging me na kumuha ng Nissan (hirap daw i-maintain, aircon lang daw ang maganda, etc)
They are telling me to buy a Civic (ok sana pero uber mahal), or a Corolla (medyo boring ang design pero dali i-maintain daw) instead..

Civics cost more than 200k (so out of budget na) and Corollas naman, lower models yung papasok sa budget ko... (92-95 lang ang pasok na pasok sa budget)

Meron din po akong nakikita Corona na 2000cc na around 150-180k (eto sana gusto ko), May ilang Accord at Galant na nasa price range din na to...

Nissans po kasi are a lot cheaper at mas bagong mga units pero dami negative comment ... yung iba, madami ganda feedback, masyado naman luma or masyado mahal.... gusto ko kasi sana pumili ng 2nd hand na kotse na masusulit talaga ang money ko...

Feedback naman po sa mga owners ng mga sasakyang ito...
ano po ba ang pinaka wise decision?
- A Nissan Sentra Super Saloon (1995 - 1998)
- Toyota Corolla GLi (1993-1996)
- Honda Esi (1993)
- Toyota Corona EX/Exsior (1993-1995)
- Mitsubishi Galant (1995-1998)
or finally, Honda Accord (1996 and below)

(sila po kasi yung mga cars na may 100k-160k price tags, ganun lang po kaya ko eh)
Help naman po! all your replies would be greatly appreciated... saka sana po, wag masyado biased... yung talagang great value-for-money, matibay at easy to maintain po... (kasi sick and tired na dun sa baseless na recommendations) Thanks po! Great Day!
