Personally, I would go for Altis. It's already an A/T at mas malakas ang makina at 1.6.

I'd go with the Altis, my petite sister drove one in her driving school class and it seems that the "high" dashboard and M/T isn't a problem at all.

How old is the Altis? Get it if you can manage to wrangle a lower price.

It is better to let your daughter try/practice with a manual transmission first and let her decide whether she can manage with it or not. If not, the City you suggested is still a good choice. I think if you add another Php 80,000 +/- to the price of the 1.3 City you can get the 1.5 variant with lots of add ons such as ABS , airbags, etc.

Altis din. My female cousins who absolutely have no love for cars have no problems driving their Civic and Frontier. Both M/T.

You get more metal for your money with the Altis.

If you're not in a hurry, there are also A/T vehicles in the pre-owned market.

Altis. More metal, more space, Good economy, and since it's a Corolla, and secondhand, to boot, you won't wince every time she gets a small scrape or ding.
