Looks like the 1988-1991 Corolla XL is the standout among the choices based from your comments. I have narrowed down my options to these few.

1989-1991 Toyota Corolla XL 1.3L, all manual
1992-1996 Kia Pride LX sedan 1.1L, all manual or GTX 1.3 w/ power options
1993-1995 Mazda 323 LX 1.3L, all manual
1992-1993 Nissan B14 1.3L LEC, all manual
1988-1991 Mitsu Lancer singkit EL/GL 1.3L, all manual

Should I consider the age of the car model given that all of the choices above have been properly maintained at the same level by their current owners? The mazda and the Kia are the "youngest" in this category.

Further comments are welcome.....
