Not the Kia Rio as a first car.

Try a second hand Nissan Sentra or Toyota Corolla.

Depends on two things: your budget and the number of people you need to move.

i know hirap mag decide getting a car lalo n un budget and what u like hinde nagtutugma.

i used to do this, determine the budget, how much i'm willing and afford to spend for a car? then i look what kind of car or the purpose of the car, if it's for a family a four door sedan will work then i try to compare what's the best on that category and price bracket. hope this help.

why not the rio bro? what's not good about the car? i heard kasi na kia has one of the cheapest cars, rio being one kasi yung brod ko sa college may rio na second hand din and he got it with a relatively cheap price tag

kaya nga bro, i am trying to get a feel of what is good for me... budget wise, depende siguro sa masolicit kong ideas then i can work on the budget... about the people, just me, my wife and my kid... wala pa sana ako plano kaso lang kasi new born baby ko, i really don't like my baby roaming around manila in congested and open air vehicles... medyo idealistic lang... :D

yup, i am looking for a four-door sedan... i am not particularly familiar with automotive terms so medyo nangangapa pa ako ... salamat sa insight...
