How about a Charade?

pwede din.. sir may experience ka na ba sa charade? hindi ba mahirap sa parts?

Man, do they make maruti suzuki 800s in your area?? You don't want to buy a larger car which doesn't run. Anyway, here's the car I'm recommending for the budget you gave:

I think they're called just suzuki 800s in your area?

Charade or Pride. Easier to find parts for the Pride, but not hard to find parts for the Charade if you know where.

The Charade has a smaller engine, I think, so should give you good fuel consumption. Body panels for the 3 door are kind of scarce, so a five door is a better bet.

But the 3-door is damn cute. :lol:

The Kia Pride is relatively reliable and parts are cheap.

Both cars are fun to customize and outfit with all sorts of go faster stuff. If you're lucky, you can get an imported Charade GTti for under 150k (that's with a turbo 600cc, and almost as fast as an SiR, stock!!! very rare, though, I've only seen two so far) or you can find a GTti engine on some Banaue lot. Charades can also take FWD Starlet engines (1.3 turbo, anyone?), while Prides will swallow 1.6 liter Mazda 323/Familia engines (8 seconds to 100 km/h and 14 km/l? Oh yes...)
