    Between the two, I think the Corolla would be the safer choice. I believe it has a better track record(quality and availability of parts).

    The newer 1998(late'97) AE111 Corolla would be a better choice, its got dual airbags and ABS.

    Being pre-owned, depende iyan sa condition ng unit itself. So pick one in relatively good condition. Kahit Toyota or Honda, kung balahura naman ang previous owner, bale wala din.

    Both are good cars, but I would chose Toyota.

    test drive!...check for kalampags, langitngit, vibration, wiggling, kabig, aircon, transmission feel, ugong ng makina, functionality of equipment (lights, audio, dash speedometer, etc.)

    When I was in your stage looking for a car for my wyf, since ako namili in her behalf, we end up buying 97 Lancer GLXi. Its pretty in good condition. Sa loob nga amoy brand new pa. Gaya ng sabi ni Otep that depends on the condition of the car.

    corolla shemps.... check for leaks sa engine, odometer kung pantay lahat ng number (dito mo kasi malaman kung pinitik na), loose na body protectors and advice ko lang, dala ka ng magnet pagnag car hunting ka. tapos, dikit mo lang ng konti sa metal part nung body. kapag hindi dumukit, masilya yun. alam ko may thread dito regarding "buying 2nd hand cars". good luck sa iyo, bro!


    isa pa, check kung umiingit yung upuan kapag dina-drive mo. dun mo malalaman kung sobrang harassed na yung kotse. if you know what i mean.

    Madali naman ayusin iyong servo at underchassis.

    Basta check mo vehicle history. Yung friend ko, bumili ng Corolla para gawing 'ride and forget' car nila! Kung maimagine mo lang how neglected that car would be.

    While my cousin got himself a Lancer. Mahilig din sa sasakyan. Sobrang ingat at alaga pa. Swerte nga nung nakabili ng Lancer niya. Parang bago pa din before he switched over to BMW.
