Should I buy a car just to have a hobby?

[uls]

Thanks ulit guys. I’ve been a member of few forums and been also creating threads there and ito pa lang talaga yung umabot ng 12 pages within a day of my posting. Super informative talaga yung responses nyo.

Although anything is possible, I think maliit lang yung chance na maretrench ako for the next 5 years... hindi naman po sa nagmamayabang, pero my job based on my skillset is one of the most demanding jobs sa IT industry.. ang inaalala ko lang is yung passion ko sa work hehe. Lately kasi I feel na nabu-burnout ako or I lose passion and want to try something I would say engaging job. Maybe a career shift then continue my side line project as software engineer. That way, continuous pa rin yung income ko. Actually my sister mentioned na I might be in mid life crisis lol. Maybe that’s the reason why I want to try new hobbies.

Next is health concern... I planned it already by availing health and life insurance so I am prepared in case I will have a serious health issue for the upcoming years...

Back to topic, mukhang maganda nga yung features ng civic interior and exterior... pero if hindi naman pala icoconsider yung side air bags, then I’m starting to think to choose for a sedan na cheaper. Around 700k or less na may driver air bag sa front.

bili na

what you have going for you is you're still young and got zero responsibilities

wala ka pinapakain

and you don't have to take care of your parents (i assume bata pa sila coz bata ka pa eh)

you have almost 40 years of earning potential pa

and considering may ipon ka

so buying that 1M peso car now is nothing

go for it dude

I have the 1.5E with no paddle shifters. But the transmission is responsive on its own and power is matched nicely to the engine.

It's with the CRV that I abuse the paddle shifters. I love the instant downshift. [emoji16]

Im gonna make a believer out of you i think im the only one here who is a sucker for paddle shifters hehe.


Back to the TS: with 3M in the bank and the amount of money you make....I'd go for a property. Settle that score first. Buy a good condo or property (even if you have to take out a loan for it). You seem to have the downpayment and earning capacity to see that thru. Land prices keep going up. Your 3m will be worth a lot less in 5 years timw. But the 3m you put in as a your equity into property will be worth a hell of a lot more in the same time frame. Its forced savings a d yet youre also upgrading your lifestyle AND investing at the same time.

Once that is out of the way then get a car. Id recommend a Jazz or something similar. Attractive , fun , moddable, high resale value, comfort and utility in a very nice package.

*commercial - here are my thoughts for cars around 1M to 1.2M.

If you want something frugal but with class and decent space, go with the VW Jetta. Its turbo diesel engine will be cheaper on fuel yet it has enough power to give you a sporty drive. It also comes standard also with side airbags.

If you want a quick and fast ride, go with the Focus Ecoboost. You have to spend a lot more to get a ride with an engine that gives you 170-180hp. Its sporty nature results to a stiff ride though. Interior space is a bit cramped. Too bad, Ford after service sucks!

If you want something reliable and with enough space and decent fuel consumption and good driving dynamics, I guess the Civic 1.8L is the best all-around compact car on the market.

IT industry is facing a bleak future imo. Cue in automation.

Lahat naman meron risk eh, kung puro risk iisipin, huwag na lumabas ng bahay baka masagasaan. Teka lang pwede rin pala madulas sa bahay at maumpog ulo at mamatay. [emoji23]

You're young go for it. Kailangan ka pa mag Enjoy ng pinahirapan mo? You have all the time.

I find it a girly car and looks to similar to the mini. No offense to male swift owners. It's super cute nga.

White Civic pa rin ako
