Sonata Vs. Vectra [and then some]

[orly_andico]

err... malaki na yung mileage nung sonata eh. right off the bat makakagastos ka ng 30k at least (baka more..) para sa preventive maintenance (suspension is probably laspag na; you need to replace the timing belt and water pump; clutch is probably slipping na rin).

unless napalitan na yang mga yan. or pagawa mo kay cruven/zee yung shocks na siguradong laspag na; at least 3000-5000 lang magagastos rather than 15000.

i don't believe na matipid yan. the sonata '00 has an old sirius engine (based on a mitsu engine i believe but less efficient). so mga 6-7 km/L lang yan. about HALF of what your city is getting. so figure out na siguro dodoble ang fuel costs per month mo. or at least a 50% increase. factor in mo na rin yun.

parang di ko nasagot yung question ah.. :P

you get more space. that's all. at the expense of less reliability, more gas consumption, and a lot of parts to fix. makaka-jackpot yung ka-swap mo :D
