If you wanna save on gas, get a Getz with a CRDi or 1.1L motor. :-)

If you miss your Sonata V6, you can get the same car here, there's also the Azera but an SUV is more practical here because of the potholes, so you might wanna consider also the SantaFe CRDi (which US doesn't have. heheh)
Well, I'm looking from the more selfish aspect which is my own moolah. Time and patience I have plenty of. After all, I used to commute when I was young. This time, I'll be retired and won't be working anymore. I'm going to finish my degree only so I can say I did it (no pressure whatsoever). Cost of car and insurance aside, will I save more money/gas by commuting or driving to Manila? Doing that 4x-5x a week, any savings will add up. I figure parking space is also going to be hard at and near Mapua unless there's new parking I'm not aware of.

If I can save more by commuting, then we'll only use the car for my wife's shopping trips on weekends. By the same token, I'll also commute to Binakayan, Cavite because it's not that far unless we're spending a weekend at Island Cove Resort.

That's one side of my rationale....... The other side says heck with the gas. Just buy an Azera and do what I always do.......:cool2:
