May nakita ko before, Ford Lynx 2000 model for 250K. More or less may makikita ka ng mga ganitong edad at this price range kapag non Honda or Toyota hanapin mo.

96 Corolla GLi. With your budget, talagang mapapaganda mo na ito. If you want another Civic, get a VTi.

97 Sentra.

Make sure you have enough money for the upcoming repairs. any car older than 5 years will surely need parts replaced.

kung ako.. i would choose 96-97 Vti or 97-99 GSR... sakto yan may sukli ka pa minsan...

[kmo]

id just use the money to fix up your current civic ... new paint etc etc at 250k theres not much choice

[vicvic]

96-98 vti if you want a civic. This is the best car (here in its class) in its time.

Corolla lovelife is also good.

Yup... go for a Ford Lynx...

- a later model than other cars in this price range
- the best handling compact sedan available in the PH
- lots of features & amenities

sir, if fuel efficiency is not an issue, get 96 exi Honda Accord

meron dito sa car finder 210k...

siguro, "best handling compact sedan" in its price class. after all nandiyan ang Mazda3, Ford Focus and of course the BMW 3-series E36/46 which are all in the same size class.

Best handling affordable compact. The 3-series is a luxury compact sedan.

The Focus has a better suspension, more supple, but it's heavier and has more inertia than the Lynx, and the steering is purposely slower to make it feel more "solid".

The Mazda 3 has the same quick steering, but it's still quite a bit heavier. Feels good, though, I'd consider the 2.0 if the MT version came in.

The Civic is potentially a good handler. Just a wee bit too soft for serious carving.

Of course, I'm biased!

id get a 2000-2001 Ford Lynx Ghia.

if u can scout for a 2001 model which already have dual airbags (vs. driver's airbag of pre2001 models), sunshade, tweeters and better exterior colors then much better.

good features
-all power including power retract side mirrors
-15" wheels and tires
-foglights
-Dual Airbags and ABS
-12CD Changer and 6 speakers
-leather interior and adjustable rear sunshade
-champagne silver console
-1.6L DOHC 16valve "118ps" engine (but its more like 107hp really)

its got good handling and great engine sound too. roomy cabin, really practical. get MT if u like the Lynx.

if u like matic, i suggest the Exalta STA.
