oks lang yan margaux. how far have you gone na in terms of driving? i mean, i'm assuming covered na yung shifting, braking, etc, right? :D

**margaux** · February 12th, 2006 06:38 AM

I have covered braking but shifting gears....not yet...

**nugundam93** · February 12th, 2006 06:43 AM

ahhh okay. we're getting there :D

**margaux** · February 12th, 2006 06:45 AM

Personally, I love the looks of the Lancer, but I wouldn't want to plunk money on a car that hasn't proven its lineage in the past couple of years. I've also been shopping around for a car, more on the 1.5 range since gas is so expensive nowadays, and not likely to get cheaper anytime soon. The 1.3 Getz is cute, but too small. The Kia Picanto is cute, but too small. The 1.6 Optra is fully-loaded, but is a gas guzzler (rumored). The 1.6J Altis is entry-level, no ABS, airbags, but fully-powered and is a good choice. However, the real battle for me is between the 1.5G Vios and the 1.5 VTEC City. The Vios has ABS, driver side airbag, yucky (imho) center instrument panel that's digital and quite hard to see, and rear leg room that, I think, is more cramped than the City. The City looks like a flowerhorn fish (need to get used to it), but comes with 15 in mags, ABS, driver and passenger airbags, in-dash CD that can play MP3s, muffler that looks cool, absolutely to die for instrument panel (Optitron?), foldable rear seats, and wonderful shifting performance. Speed is no longer an option (unless you have a death wish), but reputation, build, maintenance expenses, and gasoline expenses. I'm going for the Honda City 1.5 VTEC m/t, even if it has 8 sparkplugs versus the 4 of the Vios. So to answer your question: It's either the Jazz (more expensive but looks better), or the City. However, since you're rich, why not try the Altis 1.6E or 1.6S (sport trimmings)? If you want, the 1.8G is the top of the line. If I weren't concerned about price and gas, I'd go for the 1.6S personally.

manilenio, altis is like my fourth choice. But thanks for the suggestion anyway..... I'll try to check by the time I can test drive it..

margaux: maybe some of us can offer to teach you once in a while, just to get practice? :D

wow...thanks for the offer..I appreciate it.... but the car has borrowed for a month so I can't use any car as of now.... I was planning to take driving lessons sa A1 but it's expensive eh..

**nugundam93** · February 15th, 2006 04:29 AM

ahhh i see. just let us know so we can help you out :D

**margaux** · February 15th, 2006 04:35 AM

it's actually okay for me..it's just that my problem is no car to use for the practice. :waah:

**nugundam93** · February 15th, 2006 04:51 AM

di bale. the month will pass by faster than you think :D

**margaux** · February 15th, 2006 04:55 AM

yeah.....like I already don't know the basics.. All I can remember are the words but haven't put it into practice yet....

**manilenio** · February 15th, 2006 06:02 AM

Why don't you try a pick-up? Since it's your first time driving, and you're gonna use it everyday to and from Makati/Bulacan, maybe it'd be safer for you. Besides, a girl behind a pickup truck? Hottie!

**niwde11** · February 15th, 2006 02:32 PM

i will still go for the cvt jazz 1.3. i am planning(hope God hears me) to have one as my daily drive(within the city). sa taas ng gas ngayon, pinaka-ok sya para sa akin.
OT.margaux; maybe you can ask nugundam93 or umzzzzzz to teach you how to drive with their corresponding ride.

(joke lang).
