Sure you can. It looks like you already have a bias over this ride. We have a 94 galant ss silver manual. Ganda porma, lakas makina, roomy, sporty, low maintenance but a certified GAS GUZZLER!!! Happy ka na ba sa 4-6 km/l? If you are happy na sa fuel consumption, go for it.

Pero considering your tight budget, I will go for a Nissan because its cheaper and its easier na to buy parts. My service right now is a nissan and it serves me well at 9-10 km/l. As for my innova, I'm only using it for out of town trips during weekends coz talo ako sa city driving at 7-8 km/l while highway driving is 8-9 km/l.

Be practical. Find a car that will serve you well and that which will not drain your pockets because of the price of fuel. Diesel engine vs. Gas? Depends sa frequency ng use mo sa ride. Why? Coz diesel engine cost more and mas marami kakainin na oil at 3 months oil change interval. Sa gas, you can in fact go as seldom as twice a year without any worry. Diesel engines may consume as much as 6 liters of oil. gas engines consume around 4 liters.

Why frequency of use sa pag decide kung gas or diesel? Because sangkatutak na diesel ang dapat mong ma consume bago mo maramdaman ang tipid. Magkano na ba diesel ngayun 32? Gas 35? Difference of 3 pesos. Magkano isang liter ng semi-synthetic oil around P300 na lang for example. This means na you have to buy 200 liters of diesel before you can enjoy the P600 savings.

Gas P35 x 100 liters = P7,000
Diesel P32 x 100 liters = 6,400
Difference = 600 (enough to allow you to buy the 2 liters of additional oil.

Anyway, OT na. For a newbie car owner--go for NISSAN.

holy crap... 4-6km/L ang galant? 2.0 I4 yan or V6?
and i thought i was having problems... that's exped territory!!

**orly_andico** · October 17th, 2005 04:20 PM

one thing missing from the discussion is this..
while it's true diesel fuel and gasoline are very close in price now, IN GENERAL diesel engines are more matipid. a friend of mine was getting like 14km/L out of his 2.5L isuzu pickup. and i believe someone mentioned a crosswind gets 12km/L mixed city and highway.

of course a good part of that is due to the piss-poor horsepower ratings of most diesel engines (it'll take you forever to get to 100km/h, but for city driving it's ideal due to the fat torque band, even though the peak HP is low)

i don't remember my 96 super saloon consuming that much gas...

**theveed** · October 17th, 2005 04:36 PM

Very happy with my Altima, within your budget, hanap ka if you like the looks of it.

Galant naman stay away from any AT models... Get MPI if you have to, bad trip yung carb na SS models.

Corona ok din, dunno about bodyparts kung madali.

626 ganda rin, stay away from AT din lakas sa gas.

**BlueBimmer** · October 17th, 2005 04:42 PM

also stay away from pre A32 cefiros, the one with the boxtype looks. those are certified gas guzzlers.

oo nga stay away from a/t super saloons.

**theveed** · October 17th, 2005 04:51 PM

BB: Box type na A32?

**ILuvDetailing** · October 17th, 2005 05:10 PM

theveed: baka yung first gen cefiro

**coiter** · October 17th, 2005 05:22 PM

gano kalaki ba family mo? kung 4 or less a corolla gli, 92-95 sentra ss and mazda familia are the best bets. kung 5, an early 90's accord, 95 galant ss or altima. at kung more than 5, i guess the liteace, l300 and vanette are your choices. those are the orders of priority to me. good luck!

**theveed** · October 17th, 2005 05:39 PM

A31 yung first gen diba.

Q. Gaanong kalayo naman ang mararating ng Php500 worth of gasoline compare sa Php500 worth of diesel?

Hehehe. Diesel pa rin. :D

kasi 2.4L carb gasoline un...pero masasayahan ka naman kasi rwd ito at talagang matulin, unlike ng mga rivals nya in that time...pati ng pinalit sa kanya...pero magandang pang-out-of-town mga ito..

pero like my post up there, nissan will be a good recommendation, wag ka padala sa dahil mababa resale value nito..they're that because thse cars are keepers,e...

**smalltimer** · October 18th, 2005 09:37 AM

Galant SS na lang... madami pa surplus parts kaya lang kulang yata 170K sa 94 models and up

**phattboei** · October 18th, 2005 02:37 PM

type ko '95up na mazda familia, sentra s3, & lancer gli, sporty kasi & i think it could seat 5 adults. but my mechanic friend told me that marami downside ang mazda & sentra, both are mahirap & mahal humanap ng spare parts particularly here sa province. & can someone pls enlighten me about the 3 cars i mentioned above. medyo di kasi ako informed about cars. nasa average level lang kasi lifestyle ko so i needed a very convinient car na di naman mako-compromise yun appearance & performance ng car.

**caloyski5** · October 18th, 2005 02:39 PM

san ka ba located again bossing? in metor manila kasi, no problem whatsoever with parts kami since may banawe naman
