mahirap magsabi ng "low maintenance" pero although all of them madali nalang din hanapan ng parts, kung babatayan natin ung resale, malamag mag-stand-out ang corolla.

di katulad ng myth, di na totoong mahirap sa piyesa ang astina...pero sa porma, and i think cargo space, stand out ito...and its no a sedan, it may be considered as hatch?, di wagon un...for me practicality, cargo eto vote ko, pero it comes in carburated engine..when you want to get one, i suggest a manual transmission since at your budget, mahirap na makakuha ng good a/t models...malaki ang chance na may sira na ung tranny...

oh well, mura lang naman ang buong japan-surplus na performance mazda engines kaysa sa mitsu and toyota performance engines..

kung tipid hanap mo, out na ang astina..1.6L carb lang un...lancer and corolla is your best bet.sa lancer, 1 trim lang ang 1.3L: "EL", ang corolla has 2: XL: base model, i think all-manual(steering,mirrors,windows,etc..) XE:"XL" trim + tachmeter, power steering...

why not sentras? good buy naman sila..for that amount, series 2 sentras has all power, and features that a high-end car have during its time. ok, medyo mahal lang ang parts, pero not that much, halos di mo makikitan ang difference...ang myth ng nissan mostly apply sa high-end cars nila, like my MAXIMA....alam ko may 1.3L LEC sila, 1.4 ex? and 1.6 super saloon->top model.

masyado na luma ung singkit lancer, boxtype sentra/california or mits lancer gt (1.8L-carb), galant gti...pero, for me they're great cars, especially the galant gti...

tip ko manual kunin mo..madali pa sa maintenance in the long run, but medyo incovinient lang sa very-very stop-and-go traffic.

If I were you, I would go for the Toyota Corolla. There are an abundance of parts available for it and Toyota's reputation for reliability for this Corolla is quite high.

I think the 1.6 GLI or 1.3 XE have very little differences in price, so try going for the 1.6 GLI as much as possible.

The Corolla you are targetting is from 92-97. Toyota released some "limited" editions for the 1.6 GLI and XE in '94, basically you would see a golden square badge that says "LIMITED" stuck on the rear passenger doors.These models came with interior wood panelling, gold side pinstripping, gold emblems, and keyless entry, but aside from those cosmetic differences everything else are the same with the regular models. Some '95 models (1.6 only) also came with factory keyless entry and alarm system.

In 1996, they did some minor facelift by putting on new front bumper, grill, rear lights and new seating materials inside. They also released a couple of "limited" units. One came with a rear spoiler and Momo Steering wheel and another is the TRD stage 1, which had a sway bar installed inside the engine bay, high performance spark plugs and better air filter. This new facelift lasted until 1998 when they released an all new body Corolla AE101.

for me, mas okey ang corolla, matibay and madali mag hanap ng parts, series 2 na sentra is also nice, makakakuha k ng high end na model.

For your budget, corolla na lang, mas makakatipid ka sa maintenance considering the age of the vehicle.

I'm with niky on his Sentra II aka B13 suggestion.

Sir....... sobrang laki ba ng difference ng fuel consumption ng astina compared to the other 2 cars

WIth regards to getting a nissan masahado ata ako ng brainwash ng mga magulang ko na mahirap nad mahal i mantain kya I guess its just a myth pro un what models would be considerable?

Tnx for the replies ü
