i have had two, a 93 corolla gli (my mom's car but i used it 90% of the time) and a 92 honda civic. here are my answers:

93 corolla/92 civic

1. mom purchased for the family (me!) to use/bought it from my cousin
2. constrained - mom wanted the car, i wanted a civic/my choice, although i was tempted by an integra gsr
3. power, smoothness and reliability. didn't like the interior materials/reliability, looks. engine was underpowered
4. dating my wife-to-be/ricing it out!
4. great fun for both and absolutely no headaches, although my sister crashed the corolla when she started to drive
5. hell yeah/hell yeah

Dati to sa Corolla...

1. How did I acquire my car?

Bought it sa GoldCars Ortigas - Hati kami ni Ermat... Borrow ako money sa kanya hehe.

2. Did I willfully choose or was constrained by circumstances to it?

Budget constraints. I never liked sub 2.0 cars.

3. What things are a treat? What should have been in it?

Parts are easy to come by, decent economy.

4. What was/were my best moment/s with it.

Too boring to remember... But served us really well. I just don't like 1.6-like cars.

4. Did it give me major headaches, great fun or what?

Nothing major, aircon mostly.

5. Will I recommend it to others?

Yes, in general.

1. Bought 2nd-hand.
2. Partly constrained because I wanted a new Altis. Partly chosen by will because for some reason, I really like this particular vehicle.
3. Has an airbag (1st in its class I think), drink holders and all other necessary features, but a 20-valve standard model should have been available.
4. I haven't lost a race with it (of course I don't fight much faster cars ).
5. It isn't BMW fun, but also not Euro in maintenance. :lol:
6. Definitely. For an early 90s 1.6, this is unbeaten.
