    If your priority is performance and driving experience, i recommend civic. If you can save a bit on the car so you can purchase some simple mods, i would recommend it. The joy of driving out of the shop after installing a new sport intake or exhaust system (or both) is unforgettable

    Decals and stickers will also go a long way in terms of adding your personality to the car.

    However, my smart, mature advice would be to get the money, buy an ultra cheap car (if you absolutely need one), and invest the rest.

    No, the EK Civic SiR is a good 30hp more powerful than the ES Civic VTi-S. I didn't recommend it to you, since it will be hard to look for a unit that has not been modified and raced and also due to the lack of safety features in the car like ABS and airbags. But it is very fast, even in stock form.

    It depends on the which variant of the Galant you are pertaining to. The 2.0L inline 4 variants are slow, while the 2.5V6 is fast but with bad fuel mileage. And also, since it is an executive sedan, even if the price is already low, maintenance and parts are still expensive.

    Won't you consider the Lynx 2.0RS? Its got good looks, is fully kitted to the roof, has very solid engine performance, great handling and can be had for just 300+k.

    " if you wanna race, take it on the track. don't do it on the streets. "

    if you want something fast. get the SiR. beware, not all are credible units. meaning, iba laspag na. raced. that's why you should look really into the unit you're buying. better off stock.

    the other said choices are rather boring. though newer, they're more of a city car than a sunday car which you can take to its limits on wide open roads ... sctex. :naughty2: with a little bit of excitement. :diablo: kicked in yo.

    just a piece of advice though. doesn't mean that you own an SiR, you're invincible. you're unbeatable. heck, please stop revving from now and then. wastes gas.

    someone is always faster than you. rev ka ng rev diyan pag nakatabi ka ng corolla, baka ikaw pa kainin ng buhay niyan pag naggreen na. 4AGE ftw.

    and yes, even a 1.3L corolla can beat an SiR. 4EFTE ftw. Hahaha.

    ako din eh tsaka simula bata ako laging mataas na sasakyan gamit namin kaya nasanay din siguro nakakapanigo kotse, tsaka mas maganda kung diesel ang magiging first car. mas madaling timplahin ang clutch ng diesel kaysa sa gas(kung M/T ang gusto mo, mas advisable ang matuto muna sa M/T bago A/T).
