Hi Guys,

I am here in Dubai and finally, I will be able to loan for a car. Affordble kasi mag car loan dito. I plan to get a car kasi my family is coming over here on July and it's really hard to get around the UAE pag wala kang auto.

I am choosing between Civic 2003 Lxi M/T and a Toyota Corolla XLi 2005 M/T. Of course, mas bago yung Toyota kasi 2005. Pero I dont really want to buy yung mga high end na cars kasi nde ko nmn mauuwi sa pilipinas yun. Hehe. That's the reason na parng interested din ako sa Honda Civic. Mas mahal definitely yung Corolla.

Currently, I plan to stay here in the UAE for 3 years. So that's one thing to consider. By the way, family of 3 lng kami. I have a 2 yr old son nde ko masyado problem yung space.

For now, let's say that budget is not a problem kasi installment nmn sya at nde din nagkakalayo sa presyo. Mas concerned ako sa resale value at performance nung engine.


I would normally use the car to travel 80kms a day.

What are your inputs? I would appreciate your comments specially fellow tsikoteers here in dubai.

Thanks a lot!
