    oic... MISS ka pala... hehe...

    it's good that you've decided on the Escape! yes, the Rav4 can be a bit harsh and noisy due to the numerous potholes and uneven pavement that we have here.

    btw, make sure that you are getting the new one (with the 2.3L engine).

    dieselclub mods... kindly split the topic...

    i'd go with the: Ford Lynx Ghia. here's the list price of the various variatns of the Ghia:

    P 667,000 MT, base model
    P 705,000 MT, MR, leather
    P 732,000 AT, base model
    P 765,000 AT, MR, leather

    you can save as much as 218K. you can also opt for the Lynx RS with a 2.0L engine. it is listed for P795,000.

    all other cars that you listed pales in comparison to the Lynx when it comes to being the best bang for the buck.

    the Honda Civic VTI-S A/T is also a good choice too. though rumor has it that a newer model is just around the corner.

    for the Mitsu Lancer, here's spec sheet per variant:

    MX: cvt, airbag, abs, ebd, backup sensor, leather seats, foglamp, sideskirt, etc
    GLS: cvt, airbag
    GLX: none

    though i'd really wouldn't consider this. looks too weird.

    for the Toyota Altis, only the 1.8E would fit in your budget. the 1.8G has some additional goodies, namely: optitron gauges, rear sunshade, 8-way electronically adjustable driver's seat, scuff plates.

    but if you want something really new and different... then there's the Mazda3. the Mazda3 V is priced at around P780K.

    for your sister, it really depends on 1. budget 2.taste 3.long-term ownership

    ako medyo bias ako. honda. high resale value kahit luma na, or toyota.

    check the latest price in the market. it depends also on your mileage e. the higher the mileage the lower the value of the car. also, kung stock pa sya, expect higher resale value than those 'tuned' car.

    hello again! eto na naman hingi ulit ako ng tulong sa inyo! first let me thank all the people who helped with my SUV dilemma! thanks!
    we're also about to buy a new car, and are currently choosing between the following vehicles..

    1.) Mitsubishi Lancer MX

    2.) Toyota Altis - 1.8 G or 1.8 E (ano difference?)

    3.) Honda Civic - VTi-S

    4.) Ford Lynx Ghia

    what would be the wise buy? we're more particular with the interior and safety of the vehicles, and siyempre sa ride...

    also how much can i sell my old car? its a 2000 MX...

    thanks again! hope to hear from you guys soon!

    ok. first, let me correct something. altis 1.6 e po not 1.8, of course ang difference nila ng 1.8 is the engine displacement, and think of the 1.6 e as a lower notch variant compared to altis 1.8

    if you want a wise buy, i'll get the honda vti-s, better yet 2.0 variant. my second vote is the lancer mx, though quite underpowered compared to the other 3. then toyota, lastly ghia. actually i can't spell any difference since they all fall in the same category. hint: get the most powerful engine and safety features that would fit your budget.

    thanks

    2004 model ay may altis 1.8G at 1.8E..... at tinanggal na yung 1.6G .......meron pa ring 1.6E na nilabas ang toyota.

    Toss ako sa 1.8G at vti-s.......... ayaw ko ng Lancer, medyo tagilid ang reputation ng MMC.... Killer car daw yan sabi ng ka-office mate kong hapon dito sa company!

    hehehe.peace!
