small. relatively new. why not get a brand new getz instead? i remember there is a mention of getting a picanto but was shelved.
as for the Hondas, get the lowest mileage with the less bucks you can get...

Any other suggestions are still welcome at this point. There won't be any final decision until the Revo is sold. Thanks for all your suggestions.

as a nissan owner, i agree na mahirap maghanap ng surplus and JDM parts, pricy maintenance and quite fuel hungry ang nissan maxima ko! but even after its 17 years of well-maintained existance..i still love that car..its very hard to replace..(practically, ung resale cost nya wont cover the maintenance and TLC ive given to it, pero may sentimental value na ung sasakyan sa akin: ilang beses na nya ako iniwas sa major accidents at binuhay nya ako...)
malamig talaga ang aircon!
plan to replace the engine (if ever mag-retire na) to "sr20de".."sr20det" much better,kung kakayanin ng budget!
sentras no bad choice naman, but not affected by the myth..late series 3 and early series 4 (aka sentra-exaltas) are full of gear straight from the factory..vcd,head-up display for speed and rear parking distance, rain sensor?, sunroof, etc...
ang talo lang naman sa sentra kung ikaw ung first owner, laki ng depreciation, which means (for me) they're implying that their cars are keepers..but doesent mean na pangit ung car...

If fuel economy is the reason, drop the Revo and get a 1.5L or 1.6L sedan (in m/t form if she really wants good fuel consumption). I'd look at a '99-'00 Civic LXi m/t or Corolla Altis (1999-2000 or if she can add cash, the 2001 Altis).

if you are buying a second hand vehicle, I'd stay away from Hondas and Toyotas since the resale value is still high (good for the seller, bad for the buyer).
for 300-350K, I'd look at either a Nissan Sentra or Ford Lynx. they both have much more creature-comfort features than their competitors. fuel consumption is around 8-10km/L and is just at par with other sedans.

If the primary concerns were fuel efficiency and space then why not trade it with a Revo DIESEL version.

:lol: That's the best one!
If your friend wants to maintain practicality, I'd say no to to the first generation Honda City. It's small, terribly small. I think you can get a 2000 Altis within the price range, if you're lucky. The Civic VTi is a good choice. Good power AND economy.
The Ford Lynx 1.6 is kind of a guzzler in AT form, but in MT, while not as good as the VTi, it's not bad. You also get a lot of borloloi and amenities for your money from a secondhand Lynx.
Same goes for a Sentra. But the STA is automatic only, and might not save you any gas over the Revo. It's dirt cheap for the features, though, and it's a virtual easy chair on wheels.
I'd go for the latest Corolla you could buy, a Civic VTi, or a Ford Lynx Ghia MT. A diesel Revo may save you more, but you'll have to figure in the costs of maintenance versus the smaller engined cars.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
