... moonroof/sunroof...? in the philippines? a solid roof won't leak, even if not maintained at all.
it's actually a turn-off for me.
my opinion only.
i am sure, other opinions differ.

I agree with you dr. d. I'm not a fan of sun/moon roof also. I don't want any worries even i. The future about leaks or what if something might fell on it accidentally. Less fan of civics 01-05 models also just because I have a trusted Autoshop owner/mechanic/knownracer who does not convince me to get those models even his autoshop does an exclusive repairs/modified honda cars.
I know I have a lot of choices but I just narrowed them to the best of my interest. Corollas, lancer, civics, & even ford focus are all in my secondary choices. Actually corolla lovelife gli kinda have an appeal on me, I'm just worried if the normal wear & tear of it will not make my ride spends more time in a shop rather than the road since its a decade & a half car. As for civics(sir body) 99-00 models, many have said it's cheap to maintained also but very seldom to find one who did not undergone modifications.
But if I don't get to find a well maintained 2nd hand if those two, I might end up with ford focus since we have a family friend who sells one & I know the unit is very well taken cared off and maybe exalta/granduer.
As much as possible buy the car that you love, maiipit ka sa traf at kung ang car mo hindi mo love mas lalo kang ma stress.
You'd be able to get a newer Sentra as compared to an Altis with the same budget. Both make pretty much the same amount of power on paper, though I do believe the Altis is more fuel efficient. Check out both in person to get a feel of what you'd like more.
The best kind of 2nd hand buy is the sort where you buy from someone you know. If you are convinced that the Focus is a good buy and you really do like the car, why not? If it's the gas version though, don't expect much in terms of fuel efficiency.
Thank you all for taking time giving your expert opinions. [emoji106]🏽[emoji108]🏼
Before I really wanted a civic sir body. I have friends who has stock unit & up to now but.. I noticed every now and then they always have their engines checked by their mechanic. And I don't like that scenario. My previous unit kasi na vios 06 model only gets to check by our mechanic during PMS. I hve never experienced major engine priblems with it. Reason I wanted the sentra is the space and ac system tlaga.
same boat as ts, my choices are, vios, sentra, rio, mazda 3. ano mas okay sa mga yan? 200k budget din po pero baka kaya pa itaas. first family car namin.
I'd go for the Vios. With your budget, 1st gen ang pasok. Matipid dahil magaan di tulad ng 3rd gen ang bigat na. Though you'd have to live with the cramped interior. Durability and reliability are already given, with the taxi industry's glowing stamp of approval.

Since CUVs like the X-Trail have engines with 2.0L of displacement or above, they are very thirsty at the pump. Besides the X-Trail, there's also the Escape/Tribute twins. Expect gas mileage to be at 4-6km/L thereabouts. Parts cost will also be higher. Though advantages would be higher ground clearance and lots of trunk space. If you use the car in the provinces or highways a lot, I would recommend this option.

^ my guess is the same thing that happened to the order banning tilted or tinted plates and not sporting the official bolts, or even the drunk driving law.
All for show. Walang proper implementation

Instead of an X-Trail, I'd get a 2001 gen1 CRV. Yes mas luma, but parts are abundant, mas matipid ng konti (I get 6-7 km/L with it in city driving), space is huge for such a small car, and ground clearance is great.

Base variant ang J, I doubt that it has power folding side mirrors. Kung meron man power adjust lang. Just fold it by hand. Kung may power fold yan dapat may small button dun sa side mirror adjustment controls tas may FOLD na nakasulat sa tabi.
