Car for new driver

[Zhandros]

Here is the thing. The wifey wants to learn how to drive and is planning to enroll in a driving school this month or the next.

Now she is planning in getting a car for her daily drive and is setting aside around P50,000++ to get one. Now i'm wondering if its worth it at that price, or should we splurge a bit and get one at the P100,000 mark.

The autos i found at the P60k range are those of the late '80s era or koreans from the early n'90s. The ones at the P100k range are the AE101s and some really good condition AE92s. Hence my dilemma.

My biggest concerns are reliability and the auto having a working a/c and power steering.
