para saan mo ba gagamitin? GT ay top of the time during that time. madaling imaintain yan box type pero medyo may ka tagalan na rin at baka marami nang lumabas na paayusin but if you are willing naman na magpaayos, kung kursunada mo at maganda pa go na, mahirap naman kung hindi mo feel at pagtagal tagal parang nagiisip ka at bakit ka bumili ng ganito,

pang everyday car for 1 year lng gamitin. ano recommend m bro s 100k down n budget

dami mods nun ah, but its still a 20+ year old car. a b13 sentra is bigger inside and out, and you can get those for 110k and cheaper. better mechanicals pa. next good bet is '89 corolla.

going further down the scale, a well maintained kia pride will be a better, more reliable ride that the lancer box type. think about it... dami na advances in engine design since the 80s.

noted bro. i think i'll pass up on this boxtype. so a toyota ae92 or kia pride is better. am i right?

**voltscastillo** · July 22nd, 2009 11:11 AM

both well maintained, my opinion is yes. pride has a surprisingly large interior. corolla has proven reliability.

we once had a 76 galant. damn thing had a hole in the passenger floor big enough to put your feet out to touch the ground (parang flintstone). lagi pa sira. if mitsubishi hadn't improved their metalwork quality in the 80s, do also expect major rust problems in the boxtype.

get the corolla. i think the pride's true technological age is ten years behind the official year model. it's an 80s car being passed off as a 90s model.
