    don' t get the s40. volvos have low resale value. plus their service lalo na sa makati stinks. they overprice and overchatge you all the time. you're better off gettng a 3 series na. wag the 1 series. not good i heard and it doesn't come with a spare tire. get a 3 kahit the new body is coming out. 2.1 lang daw yung 318m sport. atleast d mo na need gumastos sa paporma kasi nakasetup na yun.

    I think there's a poster here who already has a Volvo S40.

    Keep in mind though that the S40 shares the same platform as the Mazda3 & Ford Focus.

    Saw a few 1-series in real life. Styling sucks IMO especially the side view. The rear reminds me of the Kia Rio.

    I'll try to get some info about the Mazda6 2.3L

    Although i've never tried it, my friend at TG gave good feedback on the BMW 1 Series as a personal car (esp. the 120 diesel variant).

    It seems that you're inclined toward a sedan... but what's your budget and needs (4x4? mini-SUV, power, space, etc...)?

    Outright, given your choice of vehicle you have around 1.5M or more to burn. I'd probably go for an SUV like a Patrol or kung sedan, a used BMW 5 series/3 series or a brand new Honda Accord.

    budget 1.8m.. i tried calling gm about the subaru and they told me at one point i could order it.. when i finally decided i wanted the subaru they said subaru was opening a dealership here and that they cant sell on indent anymore.
    So now my options are just the s40 or waiting for the new mazda 6... dont like the 3 series ... hate the way the 1 looks. Dont like accord either though the v6 could be good but would still prefer the s40.. and camry naman is a fathers car. Im still too young to be seen driving around a camry

need help!!!
