    Honda City 1.3 idsi 2007 - PROS: Fuel efficient, 60/40 folding seats, easy to maneuver. CONS: iDSI engine may 8 spark plugs - kaya mahirap ang maintenance, CVT tranny can be a problem, hideous looks (depende sa tumitingin)
    Mitsu Lancer 2007 - PROS: Decent room, more power (1.6 ang base engine), features for the price. CONS: Dull looking, nothing special against the competition, may pagka malakas sa gas
    Nissan Sentra 2007 - PROS: Malaking cabin, more features for the price, attainable price (you can get the 1.6). CONS: Heavy body (for the 1.3), reputation (if you are willing to overlook it), cheap looking interior

    Thanks.
    you know, the sentras are good, basic cars that will get you from point A to point B with a minimum of hassle. i have a sentra in my barn, bought it brand new in 1997. i get 9-10 km/li. and after all these years, i still do not know what reputation they are refering to.. underpowered? why, are you gonna race it? so don't be afraid of the sentra. but whatever you buy, get the one with the least mileage. and don't be hypnotized by the cheapest price. repair costs can easily wipe out your seeming savings, and more..
