Please help me pick my 2nd car

[tim4h92]

Please help me pick my 2nd car. I'm starting on my new job next month, and it will be a graveyard shift. We only have one car as of now, our trusty Hilander and I plan to leave it at home for my wife and kids if the need arises or in case of emergencies and I'm at work. I'll be using the 2nd car so I can get home easily, since I'll be getting off from work 5am from Makati.
Budget is preferably below 100k, and I've trimmed down my choices to these. I took out the Corolla from my list because of its still relatively high price. In terms of reliability, fuel efficiency, value for money, which would you pick?

1. Mazda 323(Gen.1)
2. Kia Pride hatch
3. Nissan Sentra JX/EX/ECCS

Thanks in advance! You might want to suggest others I might have overlooked

I'd pick the Sentra ECCS. Looks more decent than the other two.

Fuel efficiency is the 323's weakest point. The Sentra falls at the middle coz obviously the Kia Pride wins this segment ( small car. small engine etc. )

Reliability, Sentra. Mazda. Pride.

Though the Pride is used as a taxi, that thing is damn OLD & damn UGLY & damn SMALL. & from the looks of it ? its something you cannot trust everyday ( assuming that the pride you will be getting is not the 02-03 model which can be a little trust worthy since it's fresher than the other two ) however, everything boils down on the TLC that the previous owner gave.

I'm just speaking of the similar units I've been seeing on the roads lately.

sentra ako dito, pero if i were you dagdag ako konti para 89 corolla xl nalang.

I'd save a little more money for a corolla big body.

But among your 3 choices I'd get the sentra. My friend had a mazda 323 that gave him a lot of problems. Plus I don't see much on the road compared to other sedans during its time. Out of the question ang kia because it's fugly.

Thanks for the inputs, looks like the Sentra has the upper hand on this one. The Corolla is really a safe "default" choice, however given the budget I'm restricted to these options so I can still have some left for future repairs
