A friend of mine asks me what car to buy with a 700k-750k budget. He needs a car that:

-can carry 4-5 persons including driver comfortably.
-powerful and fast enough to haul 3-4 pax on provincial/highway roads and expressways and could easily overtake if needed.
-fuel efficient
-cheap pms costs
-cheap to maintain after warranty
-durability
-ease of owning it. hindi masakit sa ulo at di ka pababalik balikin sa casa for warranty claims

Di ko na sinama accent crdi because masyadong bare yung manual. abs+ebd malaking factor especially laging may out of town trips with family. 4 sila sa family actually at yung price *808k wala pang abs+ebd over na sa budget. Sinama ko lang yun G4 and hatch kasi feature packed naman at their price pero mukhang masikip sila sa hatch. What are your inputs guys? Please help! Kung may gusto idagdag na option pwede. Thanks!
