Fits your budget and requirements perfectly. A 5-seater sedan is fine given the number of kids you have. Definitely much safer than a Kia Pride, both in terms of passive and active safety. Maintenance isn't expensive either, and parts aren't hard to come by.

It's not a crossover, but you don't need one. Especially if you're from Clark where the roads are in fairly good condition, and floods aren't common.

Sedan to me is shouting practicality. It won't satisfy something in me. You have to experience driving a Kia Pride, and you would feel that you want a bigger car, because of those cars that somehow don't "see" you and cross whenever they like. Hindi ka tinatantya kapag naka Kia Pride ka lang.
