    Hi i'm 17 yrs. old... I need help!!! I want a new car for college but i'm not sure what to buy... We already have a 2004 Mazda 3 which Kuya uses, a 2003 BMW 316i used by Dad, 2000 Pajero used wither by dad/mom/kuya, and a 1999 Honda Civic used by Mom and soon ME!!!

    Don't fret it's temporary until not a single well deserved car arrive in our shores... Any ideas??? Any compact, sub-compact, hatchbacks and small SUVs will do... My folks are against midsize cars thinking its too pricey and think they're just gas guzzlers...

    About me:
    4th year high school (Quezon City Science H.S.)
    To study at ATENEO in June 2006...
    Turning 17 in August!!!

    THANK YOU FOR YOUR POSTS!!!

    Vios, since you'll be driving by yourself most of the time.

    Honda City/Jazz or Toyota Vios ... Gasoline is expensive.

    yeah BI ka nga nga..hahaha.... toyota camry na lang hehhehe (as if na hindi ako naging BI).....anyways, like what ghosthunter said, HONDA CITY if you want something that will not cost you much on the vehicle itself... gasoline is always a prob but it'll depend...

    800k?? a used 200SX or Subaru WRX would be great... i think u can find one for less than 800k plus it looks damn better than a vios or jazz even with a full bodykit that makes it even slower.

    Laki ng budget, ha. Dalawang kotse na bibilhin ko niyan may pangcoding pa ko. hehehe.

    I'd prolly get a Nissan Patrol Safari GQ with that kind of money in hand.

    Pwede ding itabi ko na lang ang sobra:
    Suzuki Esteem '00 - P200-250T
    Suzuki Jimny - P450T
    Suzuki Vitara - '95-'00 - P240-P400+T
    BMW E36 - P430T
    Pajero '95-'98 - P550T

    Daming options niyan unless brand consious ka or maarte sa sasakyan talaga.

    Btw, nung 17 years old ako, '77 W123 300D na Mercedes Benz ang gamit ko. Far cheaper than your budget (around 1/7?)

    800k for a brand new car?

    Depends. If you're already an experienced driver, you can't go wrong with a 1.6 MT Focus (at least it won't be a guzzler like the AT), but considering the traffic around Ateneo, and the fact that you're going to be using it to commute, I'd say save the rest of the money and get a Hyundai Getz.

    Don't like it? :lol: A 1.5 CVT Jazz should fit the bill then. Something you can enjoy, easy to park and drive in traffic, and something you can swap with your family any time you need a bigger vehicle. Trust me, you'll be fighting over the keys.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
