Di po ba maganda ang fuel consumption ng EX Saloon series 3 kahit EFI na makina nya?

Medyo seryoso po yung ok lang na walang power steering. XL 94 ang dating minamaneho ko kaya sanay na sa pawis steering. Kaya din medyo gusto kong nothing older than 1995 model, para umasenso naman .

Binenta kasi yung 94 corolla na yun for 130k around 3 years ago. Salamat!

Sentra consumes around 8-9 kpl/city, so i would say it is still reasonable.
pero, once you've tried driving a car with power features, you will never go back to a pawis unit. tutal gusto mo na din naman umasenso eh, why not give yourself a break and get a power equipped car?

lakas nyu laitin kia pride a.. may kia pride kami dito GTX 1.3L AT 10 years na, at bihira maintenance, ayun tumatakbo pa.. yah its crude, pero if your practical it gets the job done.. may japan replacement parts to since its a mazda 121-based/ford festiva model..

napakamura ng piyesa, dami pa nakakaalam gumawa..

anywayz, ako sa ex-saloon w/ps ako

agree! take the power steering car, mas ok talaga yung power steering. the sentra looks good IMO... at that price you can still have enough left for gas for 2 months or a little bling bling

naalala ko lang.

why not get a Mazda 323 (yung maliit na unang labas.) i am sure you can get something with that budget and baka may sobra ka pa for maintenance and repairs.

with that you get:

a. all power features
b. fuel efficient (1.3 cc engine)

hanap ka pa pre.

tingin ko pwede na B14 na Sentra dyan sa budget mo or Honda esi dagdag ka na lang konti siguro..

Oo nga.. daming nanlalait ng Pride... Andami kong naririnig na horror stories na thirdhand... and most of these are from people who know people who know people who run taxi fleets... pero have you personally owned one? I know one private owner who bought theirs brand new and sold it recently for a new car... never any problems. I know one taxi owner who loves it... kahit masira man daw, sobrang mura ang piyesa... and it's cheaper to run two or three Prides daw than one Corolla...

To each their own. If you believe everything taxi drivers tell you, LPG will blow up in your face, Hondas will fall apart over potholes, and Nissan engines will only last five weeks.

Kia pride ka nalang. Mura maintainance, and good fuel economy, dami pa spare parts sa labas.

Also, since the priority is to get from point A to point B with minimal gastos, pride ka nalang.

Just my 2 cents.

I beg to disagree. Kia Pride is a great car for its price. It's cheap and relatively easy to maintain. Not to mention that parts are very cheap compared to a Toyota.

Whatever the car is, it really depends on the owner on how he/she uses and maintains it. Kahit naka-Lexus ka pa or BMW, kung balahura yung previous owner, puro problema yung unit. Comparing it to, let's say a Kia Pride or even a Daewoo Racer, kung maingat yung mayari, definitely maganda condition ng car and won't give the new owner too much headache.

1. Sentra Series 3 EX Saloon
2. Mazda Familia
3. Toyota Corolla XL

Priority is low fuel consumption tsaka low maintenance. I can live without power steering, power windows, locks, etc. Pero gusto ko din sana ng malakas na aircon kaya first choice yung sentra. Also, gusto ko sana nothing older than 1995 for personal reasons.

Salamat in advance mga master.

corolla xl! :D US bumpers lang ganda na. tipid din 2e.
