when you have the opportunity to live and buy a car here...instincts would lead you to ask around what is a good car to buy that you can afford and is reliable enough...
most pinoys I've talked to like Japanese made cars, trucks etc. than American counterparts. They say, American made vehicles lack the reliability and quality traits.
If I were to choose, I would go for a BMX X series or Nissan's Armada. Honda Pilot ok na rin...
