My adviser in our school publication have been asking me what car is good for him, since his family is planning to sell their 1999 Toyota Revo (2nd hand) for 200k and he plans on getting his own car for the daily commute with the following factors:
-Fuel Efficiency (no carburetors)
-Parts availability
-Must be stick shift (MT)
-Good for daily use (commutes to work, fetching his sister in school, trips to the supermarket, etc)
-Must fit the budget
-Power features and extra featrures (i.e airbags) are much welcome

Here are some choices that i even recommend for him:
1. Toyota Corolla GLi (big body)
2. Mitsubishi Lancer GLI/GLXi (either itlog or Pizza early model)
3. Nissan Sentra Super Saloon/EX Saloon (either B13/B14)
4. Honda Civic ESi (EG)
5. Mazda Familia -GLi (or top model)

Note - he does not want a Ford Lynx (1st) or Proton Wira.

I'm asking for advise since he might be purchasing next year, and any good cars for him?? Thanks a lot.
