Planning to buy a new car around May or June this year. Max budget is 1.1xx million.

Original plan was to get a City/Jazz VX, but the parentals decided to raise the budget a bit higher to get a bigger car.

Considerations:

1. To be primarily used by me (early 20s), and to be occasionally borrowed by my brother in college. Been borrowing family cars lang so this is going to be my first legit car.
2. City driving only (to and from work, weekend pasyal with barkada), with some out of town trips here and there.
3. Priorities are, in order: comfort, pogi points (oops, sorry can't help it), driving dynamics, fuel efficiency, ease and affordability of maintenance.
3. Should be something that will make me happy driving it every day.

The options are:

1. Nissan Navara 4x2 EL Calibre AT: 1.113M
- 2018 model has been updated with 18 in wheels, around view monitor, roof rails -- basically looks like the TOTL VL model now
- price slash makes the most affordable truck in the market even more affordable
- ultra pogi exterior, so-so interior
- most comfortable pick up
- diesel engine
- base platform of the MB pick up, which is indicative of how good it is
- biggest among the options -- pros: less prone to being bullied on the road, more commanding view, ultra macho looks; cons: least exciting to drive, might be difficult to park esp. in very tight parking spaces, long bed will be a useless and unnecessary bulk because because the car won't be used for hauling anyway
- still feels kinda bare with no bedliner (could be haggled to be included in the freebies though), no bluetooth connection, no steering wheel controls, manual AC
- read in the NP300 thread that it has steering column issues, not sure if this has been resolved already
- parents' first choice for me because they really prefer bigger cars

2. Honda Civic 1.8 E: 1.138M
- the RS in rallye red has been my ultimate crush since its release, but its prohibitive pricing pushes it out of consideration
- great exterior, amazing interior
- beautiful startup graphics of instrument cluster leaves me in awe and excited to drive every time
- best driving dynamics among the choices
- sentimental because I learned to drive in a Civic FD
- only color I like (white pearl) is an additional 20k

3. Toyota Altis 1.6 G/V: 1.033M/1.105M
- safest option because it's a Toyota, and all our Toyotas never gave us headaches
- basically a mini Camry
- cheapest among the options
- not very exciting to drive
- replacement might be due soon
- again, white pearl has a 15k premium

Not exactly an apples to apples comparison, but these models are what we like most AND, more importantly, these fit the budget. Honestly a toss up between Civic and Navara though. Hoping you guys could help.
