Depneds on whats you look for in a car.
if fuel economy then the civic or corolla might fit the bill
if space and comfort ride then an older accord or corona might be more suited.
kung space and utility baka naman pick-up or AUV ang pwede sa iyo.

Lynx:

Pros:
-great handling, even compared to the Civic
-usually good amount of amenities for your money
-comfortable interior, Japanese quality plastic
-fun to drive
-parts not that hard to find anymore, many bigger stores (Rapide, Servitek, Minerva, etcetera) carry parts, and there's good availability in Banaue. And, no, they're not expensive.

Cons:
-medyo matigas ang suspension. It's not as bad as a Jeepney or AUV, though, and it's comparable to the new Altis (medyo matigas din kahit di siya ganung ka-sporty). That's the price you pay for good handling.
-poor fuel economy with an automatic transmission. better to get the manual.
-sensor niggles - MAF might need cleaning - cheap do-it-yourself fix, Cam Position Sensor on 2000-2001 models tends to conk out. Costs less than 5k to fix. If the owner has replaced it recently, ok na yun. The new sensor (03 up) doesn't burn out easily.

ano po ba ung Cam Position Sensor na yan? paano malalaman kung may problema na? thanks

Truthfuly, you won't know it until the car stops. The old Cam Position Sensor was sensitive to heat, and it would short out in hot traffic, causing the car to stall. After five minutes or so, it would be okay again.

This sensor exhibits problems around 40,000 kms, but once replaced, the new one should last a very long time (iba yung design). So if the previous owner has replaced it, okay na yun. I'm sorry, I don't know how to tell the new one from the old one. Remember, this only affected early 00-01 models.
