    Search ka muna sa sulit or ayos dito tapos post mo links dito para malaman natin type mo. Yun ang magandang umpisahan.

    red7... if you can afford to buy a brand new car then get one.... iba pa din ang feeling ng bago.... may warranty... downside, mas expensive and mas tatamaan ka ng laki ng depreciation costs ng kotse...

    If you can pay in cash or can easily pay in a monthly installment go for brand new (tama si imperialv: nothing beats the feeling of owning a brandnew) yun nga, sabi mo e bago ka pa lang, well, tama ang choice mo to go for a second hand muna, kasi meron akong kilala maya't maya nasa kasa yung bagong toyota vios niya dahil sa dami ng sabit, gasgas, yupi because of bago pa nga lang din siya natuto mag-drive, saka practice to maintain an old muna car then easy-easy na lang sayo mag-maintain ng brandnew pag dating ng panahon

    pick ka ng second hand then after 2 - 3 years benta mo na ulit choice ko for a second hand, 2000 Honda Civic Vti, low-maintenance, fuel efficiency (sakto lang, hindi ko rin masasabi na ganoon to katipid lumaklak ng gas, pero sure na hindi naman siya gas guzzler, ah, tama lang for daily driving, depend's on how you will drive it), Speed (hmm, it is fast VTEC powered of course, but again it depends on your driving style on how fast do you want to make), looks (yes, popular tuner to in the past years), aftermarket parts (marami dyan), spare parts (available at the most auto supply shops near you). Well, good luck on picking a car.


    Pero kung brand new talaga ang naging choice mo, eto Suzuki Celerio, Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto, Toyota Vios

    i'd say go for the toyota corolla... especially yung tinatawag nilang "lovelife" na body... its the model before the introduction of the corolla altis, and the new altis now... im basing this on experience, sobra tibay nung model ng corolla yan... easy to maintain pa and dami parts... i tried searching sa sulit and mukhang pasok sa budget mo... yung nissan sentras na binabalak mo eh medyo may kamahalan ng konti ang parts and medyo malakas sa gas.

    To the TS: Stay away from carbureted cars. It gives poor gas mileage as compared to EFI engines of the same or maybe even higher displacement. For your budget I'd suggest the Honda City Type-Z VTi. City means that this car is reliable, low maintenance and gives good gas mileage. VTi means that this car ain't no slouch.
    This one looks OK: 2000 Honda City Type Z VTEC - MT Philippines - 3630846

    *red7: Yes, if you have the budget the ES Civic is a nice car. the 2.0i-VTEC variant is very fast, but gas mileage is rather dismal. Get the VTi-S as it has the frugal and quick 1.6L VTEC3 engine, dual airbags, 4 wheel disc brakes and ABS/EBD. It'll be best to get it in M/T form for best gas mileage.
    This one's not bad: Honda Civic MT - 05 - Cars for sale NCR - AyosDito.ph

which is better second hand car?
