kamusta naman kaya fuel consumption ng SiR?

nakausap ko na may ari ng mazda 3 he's a medical doctor and rare nya lang daw gamitin ang sasakyan. mukhang alanganin nga ung sa eg hatch

Coz the M3 is a guzzler too and isn't quite fast on the side. The 1.6L Mazda only has 75whp despite its heavy .. heavy body and I'm clueless about the power of the MZ2.0R

The Lynx is pretty good. Niky owns one. ;)

Rare to see any Lynx RS nowadays. Not sure how hard it is to get parts, you'd have to consult with niky with that. 7seconds 0-60 RS nun :naughty2:

59 thousand kilometers is NOT "rare usage" btw. More or less laspag na yan sa gamit. You might also want to ask where he lives and where he works. Of course iba din pag "highway usage" yun kilometers or "city usage".

Personally, I'm with the 1.5 Jazz. Roomy interior for its size and fun to drive to boot. Having a smile on gas stations versus the frowning owner of the neighboring SUV is an understated benefit.

As with the 1.6L Mazda, it'll feel heavy at stop-go traffic. Overall, after 2 years of "borrowing my sister's Mz3", I'd say mabigat siya talaga. But really fun when it comes to steering... even after driving a Sonata YF I still find myself going back every now and then. NVH insulation is horrible though. The Mz3 2.0L is more like it. Fuel consumption is actually close to the 1.6L since you don't have to rev the engine to get it moving compared to the 1.6

kung ang tanong ay good buy, nope... hindi talaga.

if i was to price it:

b16ef 180k max
b16eg or local 200k-230k max.

depende lahat sa condition ng oto.

he did say "resing resing". perhaps it means, "laspag na laspag"..

Guys, if you've mentioned the Civic SiR and the Lynx RS, how about the Toyota Corolla TOMS Edition (Lovelife)??

If you find one, good luck. But among the three choices of mine, i'll get the Civic Sir (in stock)

[Ry_Tower]

^ plus 10 ako diyan. Stock na lang para mas safe. Kesa sa rezing rezing daw!?

[vito corleone]

no to both cars. . .estudyante ka pa lang, uubusin lang ng modified engine ang allowance mo pang-gas

you can get a civic sir for your budget, di mo na kailangang i-modify ang engine, you will get the power that you want since mukhang preferred mo ang oto na me ibubuga

practicalitywise, how about a suzuku swift kung ayaw mo ng nguso ng jazz?

anyway, good luck sa pagpili

I'd suggest the Civic SiR. Be patient enough to look for a stock and well maintained unit. This one has high enough performance already especially since you don't have that much driving experience yet. And stock SiR's are quite thrifty on fuel. If the performance really isn't enough, just install a K&N filter.

SIR is really a good buy. Dream car yan of the late 90s. 96' BMW 316i is also around that budget i think. Maintenance lang ang big big prob. Maganda to kung may kilala kang relatively affordable shop for BMWs. Meron mga ganyan. Mga OFWs na galing sa BMW and MB plants.

[GTi]

Yun nga lang the 316i has just an ordinary 1.6L engine and so is quite slow. If you are getting a BMW IMHO this is not a very good choice.

ang mahal pa nyan given na lumang modelo na bro.

Any BMW is an expensive car to maintain in the Philippines. Parts are hard to source and usually expensive. Even OEM/replacement parts are not as "cheap" as you would have expected.

So its definitely not for someone on a tight budget.
