CAR DILEMMA. HELP!

Ok, first of all, I'm in a daze trying to figure out which car to buy. since my kuya is also trying to talk my mom into getting him a new car, My budget is only 250-300k, so its a no-brainer that i could only get a pre-owned car.. (to give way for my beloved kuya, hmp) Wish it was THAT easy, i'm having difficulty narrowing down my choices (what more deciding which one)... i'm a newbie, and altho it has been almost 3 years since i first drove a car, it will be my very first time to OWN one. nakikigamit lng kc lagi ako sa mom or kuya ko. hehe.

ive been following this site recently and ive noticed you guys accomodate almost any question a member here asks so think u cud be of great help!

here are my choices:

1. Lancer Gsr - personally, i'd like to have the 99-2000 model.. then again i have limited budget so thats not possible. i guess i'd have to settle for 97-98ish. Gsr is okay, i figured that its very "gwapo" - especially when its ultra dressed up. The drawback IMO is the mileage all ads here got, it ticks me off to see a car for sale with more than 70k mileage? hehe.

2. 1997 Accord Vti - i like the accord since its simple yet classy. Not too mention the big space u have. moreover, the ride is heavenly comfy! (and it suits my budget... i saw some ads which are 250-290..

3. Opel Tigra 99-2000 - I like the design. But im not really sure about the handling and maintenance issues. As ive followed the site recently, ang dami kong nabasang negative stuff about opel in general? naturn off tuloy ako.. pero design-wise, i love it.

4. Lancer Gls / Hona City - 2000 models. simple lang and atleast its relatively "new" as compared to most of my choices?

5. Nissan Exalta - This just became another option. Nakita ko kasi sa buyadnsell na most exaltas 2000 models are selling for 280-310ish. i was never a fan of nissan since we had a bad experience of our vanette (r.i.p), but after seeing the interior of the exalta, ang gandaaaa!!! sleek and sophisticated. im a big fan of leather (lols) and wood panel kc.. the interior compensates for the lack of its exterior design... and yea, atleast 2000 model dba?

in order for the kind ones to suggest/share their thoughts in a more "precise(?)" way, i figured i shud tell u guys some stuff about me.

I'm 19, single, studies at CSB. Multimedia and Fashion design student. usually values form over function. lol.
comfortability and convenience = top priority .
power / performance = close second. lols
5'7, fair complexion, med built. hehehe prang friendster? lol.

so ayun, thanks for tsaking time to read my uber LONG and complicated dilemma.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
