The Elantra might be the ticket. Light, good gearing, good engine... Only thing is the lack of sound insulation compared to the likes of the Civic or the Focus.

galing naman sya sa avanza eh.. so i think tolerable sa kanya yan cabin noise....

kung 2 lang kayo sakay tapos innova gamit mo.. hindi practical yan.. kasi you will be hauling that big ass all the way to ortigas.. kung madami ka sakay ok lang.. pero kung pampasok lang ok na sedan..

kung 6 speed ang elantra ok yan sa hiway.. mas matipid plus hindi pwersado yung makina sa acceleration kasi mas madaming gears...

If I understand it right, daily drive ni TS is northbound pag papasok, then southbound pauwi, which means rush hour both ways whether on SLEX, C5 or EDSA. Tapos malabo pa siyang mag-Skyway due to added toll costs.

Just curious if the Elantra's 6-speed tranny can make a difference in such highway traffic conditions that already resemble city driving (frequent stop-and-go, idling, etc.). Kung highway driving nang weekend, baka pwede pa.

How about those older Focus TDCi 6PS hatchbacks/sedans? There maybe a few select Ford dealers who still offer them at a discount.

Mas mura nga ang diesel kaysa sa gas tapos mas maganda ang FC. kaso mas mahal ang diesel na makina at mas mataas ang maintenance. parang na balance lang.

The way, the way my wife parks, di kakasya ang 2 na innova. hehehe.

Puwede, although, medyo na nakakakaba kung isa sa mga first owners, Hindi pa tested locally tulad ng Lancer, Civic, o Altis.
