    Hanap ka na lang ng may power steering. No need to rush with a purchase.

    I learned driving on a car with no "power" features, ok lang naman, sanayan lang din, magkakaroon ka ng muscles sa pag-d-drive :D if you are a female then get something with powersteering.

    sanayan lang boss. powerless ang car ko (including engine! PH12 e.) marami sa banawe namomodify ng power steering. yung mga power windows, power locks, etc. marami jan. hanap ka lang ng reputable auto electrical shop kagaya ng rey auto electrical sa marikina. pero...pinakamagandang suggestion is wag kang magmadali sa pagbili. hindi ka mauubusan. ok lang na maraming tanong. maraming sasagot sa yo. welcome sa boards!!!

    i also started driving on a corolla xl. ok lang naman sya as long s di ka pa nakasubok ng power steering, once you tried the feel of a car with power steering you'd definitely feel what you have been missing. If you intend to purchase the XL model try not to modify the stock rims, para di gaano bumigat ang steering feel. IMHO don't modify the mechnical spec of the car, kung walang power steering or power window let it be. You are better off with a car that has it all. In the long run mas matibay pa din ang orig na power steering and power window.

    Konti lang ang lamang sa presyo ng XL(1.3 pawis steering lang),XE (1.3 na may powersteering), at 1.6 GLI. Kuha ka na lang ng 1.6 GLI mas sulit pa sa lahat yon, IMO.

    Note: Uso ang mga Corolla XL o XE na ginamit pang taxi service. Pati 1.6 GLI gamit din pang taxi minsan. Just watch out for former taxi service units kasi talagang laspag na mga yan.

    ok naman ang walang power steering. mahirap nga lang mag-maneobra. pero the trick is to move the car slowly while maneuvering para di ka mahirapan.

    sayang kasi ang style eh, fully loaded na sya and sound set up, according sa mechanic magaan naman daw kahit hindi power steering..magkano ba ang labanan sa market ng 94 corolla XL ? If ever mag pa power steering ako how much would be the cost? May binebenta sa akin 93 Corolla XE (power steering) kaso all stock 90thou KM ang odometer saka meron ding 90 Nissan Sentra (price at 100K) alin ang mas maganda sa tatlo..Thanks sa reply mga repapips..

    i'd go for the XE. 90km for a 13 year old. that's rare. all stock pa. good na good yan. just be sure that the odo reading is genuine. you can also browse the threads regarding buying used cars.

    sa XL ba to? kung ganun, medyo mabigat na siguro than the usual pero madali pa rin naman yan...depending on the size of mags and tires siguro...

    Sa totoo lang, FOOLISH bumili ng kotseng papalagyan ng power steering kaysa kumuha ng power steering na talaga.

    Personally, power steering is helpful for maneuvering in tight corners and heavy traffic. I can live without all the power features except this. Kung ako sa 'yo, wag kang magpadala sa ganda ng kotse. Make sure convenient yung everyday driving mo lalo na't bagong tuto ka lang.

    totoo! i agee! sa buhay ngayon, kahit nga mga trucks, and i mean BIG trucks may power steering nga..and sa tindi ng trapik ngayon, having a powersteering is an advantage..

    amongst the choices, i prefer a well-maintained stock car, and just set it up in anyway you want...when you buy a modified car, you're not gonna have your own image, lagi mong sasabihin, "noong nabili ko pa yan...."90 thou kms(assuming orig ito) corolla xe. add ka ng konti, GLi corolla na...

    add ako ng choice mo: lancer singkit GTi? 1.5L dohc mpi....ganda din nito, kumpleto pa sa power features...series 2 sentras?mahal na kasi series 3 sentras...kung makakakuha ka, a lancer boxtype GT. 1.8L 4-wheel disc brakes, rwd...

    bossing,
    one tip in buying a second hand car...
    if your not used to getting used cars, get all stock as much as possible unless the price of a loaded one is almost the same as the all stock. but when you have good experience about used cars, double or triple check before buying.
    sometimes, aesthetics can make you fall in love immediately with a car then after all that, it turns out to be a lemon. sayang pera.
    kung dating taxi ang unit, sa plate number may maliit na "H" naka lagay. it means "for hire" siya dati. most probable taxi iyan or renta car. pwede mo rin pa check sa lto para sure...

    If it was a legal taxi in its former life, there will be a small 'H' stamped on its license plate.

    IMHO, unahin mo na lang convenience of power steering lalo na't hindi naman nagkakalayo ng presyo. Yung set-up, ikaw na lang bumuo ng sarili mong set up.
